Excerpt from A Second Handful of Popular Maxims Current in Sanskrit Literature
For the reasons given in the preface to the Third Handful I would gladly have seized this Opportunity of eliminating the word 'maxims' from the titlepage; but it was not politic to change the name adopted ten years ago and repeated in each new issue.
It is not probable that this will pass into a third edition during my lifetime; but I trust that in its present form it may prove helpful to young students whose reading has not bene quite so wide as my own.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a significant contribution to the study of useful Indian maxims, often referred to as nyayas. The Indian tradition of philosophy, religion, and literature employs nyayas as figures of speech to illustrate complex ideas. For example, âthe illustration of the crow and the owl at night-timeâ encapsulates the idea that what is day to one may be night to another, conveying the relative nature of reality. The author includes over one hundred and fifty maxims and classifies them according to their meaning. Additionally, the author provides insightful commentary on each maxim, drawing connections to historical contexts, philosophical concepts, and literary sources. This text is a valuable and accessible resource for scholars and students of Indian thought, language, and literature, as well as anyone interested in the depth and nuance of this ancient wisdom tradition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333821364_0
