5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource for modern and historical names, Jun 4 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dictionary of Sanskrit Names (Paperback)

This book is well designed and well organized, offering a unique service. With its pronunciation guide, serves as a great introduction to Sanskrit, as well as mythology. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference, Jan 28 2001

By SRINIVASA RAO BATCHU - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dictionary of Sanskrit Names (Paperback)

This book is a good collection of Sanskrit names and their meanings from various contexts and commentaries. I don't think this is a complete collection of all the remarkable names that exist in this great language. Many of the missing names(?) that can't be found in this book are from Yoga itself. This is a good reference book and the authors did good job in compiling the names. I was disappointed to find that a book from Yoga Institute does not have complete resource of the names of Yoga itself in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dictionary is what it is, July 3 2006

By S. Pedagandham "dad2be" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dictionary of Sanskrit Names (Paperback)

Well, when I bought this book, I though it would help me find a name. But the name listings are not as many as I thought would be. What this book is...is a dictionary. If you know what the meaning of a name is, then use this book as a reference. I did not find it real helpful to find a baby name.
