About the Book

As a result of Tibet's continuous cultural interactions with India, Tibetans have produced the largest number of translations of Indian literature. Tibetan Tripitaka, known as Kanjur and Tanjur preserves over five thousand titles translated from Indian languages, mainly Sanskrit, embracing treatises on grammar, poetry, rhetoric, logic (the fundamental works on Buddhist logic by Dignäga, Dharmakīrti, etc.). politics and social ethics (such as Caņakyanitišāstra, Nagarjuna's three works on Nitiśāstra, etc.), medicine (such as Aşțangahṛdayasamhita by Vägbhața and its commentary by Candrananda), astrology (such as Svarodayärthasamhita by Harivarma and Ayurganitaphalaprakāśa by Manapuruşa), chemistry (such as Rasasiddhiśāstra by Vyādipāda and Rasayanaśāstroddhāti by Ratnaśrī), art and iconography (Pratibimba- manalakşaņa by Ātreya), biographies of saints (such as Aśokāvādāna, Kuņālavādāna) and of course, Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy.

The fame of the Meghaduta by Kālidāsa was so popular that it was translated into over forty-five languages. The Meghaduta attracted the scholars of Tibet in early 14th century A.D. and was translated into Tibetan language by the joint efforts of the Indian Pandit Sumanaśri and the Tibetan Lo tsa ba Jangchub Tsemo (1303-1380) and Namkha Zangpo. This Sanskrit-Tibetan bilingual critical edition with the Sanskrit and Tibetan word indexes is prepared and published for the first time with the hope of benefitting the students interested in Indo-Tibetan classical literatures.

Sanskrit and Tibetan Index of Meghaduta is prepared by Lama Chimpa (Retired Head, Department of Indo-Tibetan Studies, Visva Bharati University, Shantiniketan; Bimalendra Kumar (Professor, Department of Pali & Buddhist studies, B.H.U. Varanasi) & Jampa Samten (Associate Professor, Department of Social Science, Central University of Tibetan Studies, Varanasi).
