The specific aim of this elementary READING course is to prepare the beginners and those with only a rudimentary knowledge in Sanskrit, to be able to read progressively lengthy Sanskrit passages. In this respect it serves as a specific link between Part I (MABS 68 I) and Part II (MABS 68 II; lectured by Ven. Professor KL Dhammajoti with the assistance of Dr Dharmarakkhita) of the MA course unit, “Reading Buddhist Sanskrit Texts”. The stress is on further consolidating the student’s understanding of Sanskrit through guided readings.

However, it also takes into consideration those who may be ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS. As such, prior knowledge of Sanskrit is not an absolute prerequisite.
