On-line references: Glossaries
  The glossaries contain words and their meanings grouped into different classes. The glossaries are meant to be used as general references only. The on-line dictionary is the place where detailed information about a word is presented.

  The lists are not arranged in any specific order and it may be necessary to scan through the titles of the lists when looking for possible places where a word might be seen. The lists are by no means complete but should be adequate for students who are just beginning to learn Sanskrit.


The glossaries corresponding to many topics seen below may not have been included and may still be under compilation. A suitable message to that effect will be displayed for such cases.
