A DICTIONARY IN SANSCRIT AND ENGLISH DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF... William Yates Digitized by Google A DICTIONARY SANSCRIT AND ENGLISH, THE USE OF PRIVATE STUDENTS INDIAN COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS. THE LATE REV. W. YATES, D. u. ' ' l ^ " CALCUTTA : V^jj^' t'KINTED AT THE BAPTIST MlgSIUN PR H3K, CIRCULAR IIOAD. LONDON : BOLD BY wm. ll . allkn and Co., 7, LBADSNHALL-RTRBRT. 184 6. Digitized t>y Google Digitized by Google AUTHOR'S PREFACE. It has been justly said, that necessity is the mother of invention. The necessity long felt of a Sanscrit Dictionary, not too large for (lie lianil 10 use, or the pocket to afford, led to the present uudertaking. The author bating a class of native youth to instruct, found it exceedingly inconvenient U> leacb, without bciog able to refer the yutmg men to a Dictionary ; at the same time he knew that it was impossible for them to supply themselves with one, as all they possessed in the world, would not realize much, if any, more than 50 Itupces, the lowest price at which Professor WUson's Dictionary is now selling. Nearly all the native youtb, who study the English and Sanscrit, are students of a similar description ; they all find that it to be impossible for them to advance in the study of the Sanscrit without a Dictionary, and yet equally impossi- ble, with their limited means, to obtain the amount of money necessary for that purpose. The main object of this work, therefore, was to bring the quarto of Wilson's Dictionary to the octavo form, without diminish- ing the size of the type or the number of the words. This has been effected and a little more ; for while the number of the words has been increased, the number of the pages has been a little reduced. It is confidently hoped that the present performance will not in the smallest degree interfere with Professor Wilson's valuable Dictionary ; being intended simply to supply the wants of those who are not able to purchase it. That work is so much fuller in its interpretation of words, and so much more satisfactory in its account of their derivation, that every scholar who can afford it will wish to have it in his possession. Though the number of the words has been somewhat increased, it will be perceived by the addenda that it may be increased to a much greater extent. Indeed it is difficult in Sanscrit to fix the boundary of compound words. To have given all that bate been used, would hare swelled this volume to more than double its present size ; and even then it would not have been complete, as every author has a licence to make new compounds to any extent he pleases. The rule generally Digitized by Google. observed has been to admit such compounds as contain a simple idea, end leave the learner to make out for himself all others, according to the rules laid down in the Grammar. Here he will find oil the elements of the longest words, exteuding to several hundred syllables ; but the words themselves he will not find. He must learn to form and analyze them for himself, and though this may appear difficult at the first, the difficulty will vanish by practice and increased acquaintance with the rules for the formation of compounds. Though a Sanscrit Dictionary cannot be made to comprehend all the words used hi the language, yet it will be found to contain all the Sanscrit words in common use iu the spoken dialects. Hence it will bo useful to all schools in the Upper Provinces, in Bengal, in Orissa, in Mahratta, &c, and will shew them to what an extent they are indebted to the San- scrit for the richness and beauty of their colloquial resources, and for the elegance of their finished compositions. The compiler therefore hopes that by furnishing a Dictionary in a portable form and at a cheap rate, he shall be rendering a service to the cause of education throughout the provinces of India. The abbreviations used in the work are so plain that it is quite unnecessary to give any lengthened explanation of them, 1 . m. means a noun of the first declension, masculine; \.f. of the first declension, feminine; and 1. n. of the first declension, neuter. So the other declensions 2. m., 2./., 2. See. a. is used for adjective ; pro. for pronoun. I. a. attached to a root signifies that it is of the first conjuga- tion, active ; 1 . (/. first conjugation, deponent or middle, and I.e. first conjugation, common, i. c. both active and middle. So the other conjugations, 2. a., 2. d., 2. c, &c. For the explanation of the characteristic letters attached to the verbs the learner is referred to the Grammar. When no characteristic letter is added to a verb, it is always of the first conjugation active. The other contractions are : ado. for adverb; p. for participle ; prep, for preposition; conj. for conjunction ; and iiderj. for interjection. When the lamented author left India, never to return, the printing of ** had advanced to page Gt3. The remaining portion was, his request, earnea through the press by the undersigned. } Wembeb.
