Grammar Referance

has shared the following links to learn Sanskrit…

As far as I can understand, this is mostly a public domain site with electronic libraries. Books are free to download, but they are not copyrighted because most of them date from the end of the last century or earlier and are quite large in terms of megabytes.

These are mostly good quality scans converted to PDF, although many are also in formats suitable for e-readers like Kindle and ePub, although they don’t convert very well on my Sony e-reader, at least. So I recommend PDF.

Black and white or color aren’t a problem, as the reading quality is the same, just the difference in megabytes. They have a number of books on Sanskrit grammar – 175 according to them – but many of them are dual-language books, and some are comparative studies between the grammars of ancient civilizations, mostly Mesopotamian and Mediterranean. Some are also in German. If someone wants to search, they can simply enter a few keywords – I’ve just given Sanskrit grammar – in the search box and better define the medium in the adjacent box, such as text, audio, etc. Otherwise, the results can be overwhelming.

Here are some direct links to the books. Admittedly, I haven’t read them, and I’ll start with Chinmaya Online – the link to which is very useful, thank you very much – but if you’d like to sort them out – at least the ones I’ve downloaded – and send me direct links to all of them, I’d be happy to do so, or I’ll upload them as you suggest.
