A Sanskrit-English Dictionary: Etymologically and Philologically Arranged with Special Reference to Cognate Indo-European Languages

First issued in an earlier form in 1872, Monier-Williams’s Sanskrit dictionary was extensively revised and expanded for the 1899 edition. The title page identifies it as a new edition “greatly enlarged and improved,” prepared with the assistance of Ernst Leumann, Carl Cappeller, and other scholars. The completed work became a major instrument of Sanskrit philology and remains widely used in both printed and searchable digital editions. Its principal value lies not merely in providing English equivalents, but in documenting the grammatical formation, semantic development, textual occurrence, and Indo-European relationships of Sanskrit words.
