Book Extras

While our printed books present essential accessible translations and original Sanskrit texts, set in context by introductions and informative annotation, we are also able to offer further ancillary materials to many of our volumes, here on our website. Such supplements may include an extended introduction and full bibliography, as well as exhaustive notes and critical apparatus to freshly edited Sanskrit originals.
