First Book of Sanskrit of R. G. Bhandarkar has been written in a style keeping in view of the needs of students as well as teachers. Each lesson consists of four parts:

1. Grammar
2. Sanskrit Sentences for Translation into English
3. English Sentences for Translation into Sanskrit
4. A Vocablary

This book contains as much Grammar as is needed for all practical purposes, perhaps more. The author has adopted the terminology of the English Grammarians of Sanskrit, but had strictly followed Panini, as explained by Bhattoji Dikshita in his Sidhantakaumudi.
The general rules of Grammar, and such exceptions as are important, have been given in this book.

The book continues to be a medium for facilitating and promoting the study of the language of the ancient sages even after a hundred years of its publication in 1883.

    Dear Bharateeya,

    Your service to the cause of Sanskrit is commendable. I am referring this First book of Sanskrit to many of my friends along with your blog which is very resourceful.

    I invite you to have a look at a Sanskrit Blog that I have posted recently on a shloka from the Advaita Makaranda.

    There is a book which may be considered a Tutorial to Bhandarkar’s First book of Sanskrit. It is “Companion to the First Book of Sanskrit”, by K V Mehta published sometime during the first quarter of 20th Century in Bombay.

    The full book is freely available at Hathi Trust (http://www.hathitrust.org). Although the book is digitized as part of Google Books program it is not available at Google Books.

    The link to that book is http://hdl.handle.net/2027/njp.32101073670919.

    I am interested also if you should post the key to the First Book of Sanskrit.

    Thank you for all you are doing.

  9. John says:

    The “digital library” link to the answer key does not have a way to download the book, at least not that I can see. Apparently it can be viewed there though.

    Perhaps I am not understanding something when I go to the link.
