A collection of popular maxims (nyayas) and proverbs of Sanskrit literature with English translation and notes.”Nyaya” in Sanskrit is a popular maxim (proverbial saying) that illustrates a general truth, fundamenatl principle or rule of conduct.

Apart from giving an insight into the life and beliefs of ancient people these maxims are current and useful in scholarly discussions and academic gatherings among Sanskritists. These Nyayas are still valuable and relevant in judicial circles in the interpretations of law and jurisprudence in modern India. Sanskrit poets have enriched and embellished Sanskrit language by various devices among which the maxims or Nyayas occupy an important place.

An added feature of this ebook is an exhaustive table of content with hyperlinks which makes it possible to navigate easily within the ebook.

  16. Dear M/s Sanskrit ebooks,
    Your service is great.
    Just found your site when searching for Atharva Veda ENGLISH translation. But could not get a copy useful.
    Thanks always.
    With gratitude ,

    Namaste
    How can i download ‘Nyayavali’? please suggest.

  18. Vidya says:

    Do we have any Sanskrit subashitani or chanakya niti book with word by word meaning ?

    • bharateeya says:

      Your question is not clear. Are you looking for a book providing meaning of each and every word separately? I have not come across any such books. But, there are plenty of translations of Subhashitas and Chanakya Niti in English and Hindi.
