This cup of coffee is dedicated to the language Sanskrit and all who study her (I’ve just decided that languages are feminine, apparently - like goddesses) And yes, I have been taking my first steps. #sanskrit #langsky #coffee #LanguagesAreGoddesses

I once quite liked Walter Maurer: The Sanskrit Language: An Introductory Grammar and Reader. Not exactly cheap though, even in paperback.

Peered in to admire the bright rainbow umbrella.🌈☂️ PS: A temple gate. The sign on the gate stands for the #Sanskrit word "swasthi" which means "well being". No other symbol is represented. #photography #amateur #umbrella #rainbow #temple #Udupi #India

Closeup view through a steel metal gate to a Hindu temple. A large rainbow colored umbrella is open and placed on the terrace. A large planter with a relatively large holy basil plant in it in the background. Other temple-related objects also in the background. A Hindu "swasthi" symbol on the gate.

For those outside the field, interested in how historians of premodern India work with primary sources, here's one example... This is the end of a Jain Sanskrit manuscript copied in the late 1590s. #Jain #Mughal #Sanskrit #manuscripts #primarysouces #history #India #SouthAsia

Mudita is the opposite of Schadenfreude (the pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune). So it means when it makes you happy to see someone else happy.
