The aim of this series is to publish fundamental studies concerning classi-
cal Indian civilization.
It
will include editions of texts, translations,
specialized studies, and scholarly works of more general interest related
to various fields of classical Indian culture such as philosophy, grammar,
literature, religion, art, and history.
In this context, the term 'Classical India', covers a vast area both
historically and geographically, and embraces various religions and
philosophical traditions, such as Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism, and
many languages from Vedic and Epic Sanskrit to Pali, Prakrit, and
Apabhraqula. We believe that in a profoundly traditional society like In-
dia, the study of classical culture is always relevant and important.
Classical India presents an interesting record of deep human ex-
perience, thoughts, beliefs, and myths, which have been a source of in-
spiration for countless generations. We are persuaded of its lasting value
and relevance to modern man.
By using extensive and for the most part unexplored material with
scientific rigor and modern methodology, the authors and editors of this
series hope to stimulate and promote interest and research in a field that
needs to be placed in its proper perspective.
