Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hitopadesa, a New Literal Translation From the Sanskrit Text, of Prof. F. Johnson: For the Use of Students The object of the present translation is to supply an exact and literal rendering of Professor F. Johnson´s text of the Hitopadesa for the use of students learning Sanskrit. The Hitopadesa being generally the first book taken up by learners, it is obviously of importance to translate it in such a manner that one completely ignorant of Sanskrit may be guided in his first efforts. The following translation, therefore, is made somewhat progressive. The first chapter endeavours punctually to render the original, - case, tense, and even the order of the words, - as far as may be; for the purpose of showing the student how the English meaning is got out of the Sanskrit text. In the second chapter a little more ease is permitted; and in the third and fourth chapters, while still being precise and literal, the English language is allowed somewhat fairer play. With respect to authorities, I have, of course, had before me what Sir Charles Wilkins, and Professors Johnson and Max Müller have so excellently done; but I have also enjoyed an advantage not hitherto brought to bear on the subject. Familiarity with certain of the vernaculars of India has enabled me to take the opinion of native scholars, who, so to speak, inherit the meaning of the original in the traditions and circumstances of daily life.
