Book Description
About the Book
The Indian Literature, Sahitya Akademi, had published, as early as 1969, the following assessment of Prof. Satya Vrat Shastri: "He is one of those few scholars of Sanskrit in the country who have made a mark in both the widely different fields of critical scholarship and creative. composition. His literary work consists of some of the most delightful poems, dissertations on some of the toughest problems of Indology, a humorous skit and a translation from English into Hindi. It is the combination in him of the critic and the creative writer, the playwright and the translator, the interpreter of the old tradition and the original thinker that marks him out as one of the most remarkable personalities in the Sanskrit field."

Some forty three years have passed since then and the mighty scholar, the only recipient of the Jnanpith Award and the only Padma Bhushan awardee in Sanskrit at present, has enriched Sanskrit literature with an enormous number of other works running into thousands of pages in almost all genrés, including the ones hitherto unpractised, which could well be the envy of an institution. It is time to assess his contribution, work by work, in its entirety. That is what the present volume attempts to do. A galaxy of scholars from all parts of India have come forward with valuable studies on it which the readers would find both enlightening and elevating.

The present volume is a welcome addition to the critical appreciation of an important segment of modern Sanskrit literature.

Foreword
Sanskrit has encapsulated and articulated our cultural and spiritual heritage since the very dawn of civilisation. A glorious language, both in form and content, Sanskrit produced not only the entire original corpus of our religious and spiritual inheritance from the Vedas and Upanishads, down to Shankara and the great South-Indian Acharyas, it also produced creative work in almost every field, whether it is literature, with which the name of the great Kalidasa will always be associated, or spiritual texts by Adi Shankracharya in Kerala and Acharya Abhinavagupta in Kashmir. Sanskrit is the original pan-Indian language, and has produced scholars in almost every State including, interestingly, Tamil Nadu. Sanskrit is recognised as the mother of most Indian languages, excluding Tamil and some tribal dialects. It would suffice to say that Sanskrit has been a great unifying factor which has helped India retain its cultural and spiritual unity despite centuries of hostile invasions and colonial rule.
