Sponsored Translation of Dhammapada from Pali into Sanskrit

[Guest guest]

Dear Sirs,

 

In 2004, I financially sponsored the project of the edition of the

Taittiriya-Brahmana and other Yajurveda texts with a large sum of

money. See here

In 2005, I intend to finance the smaller project of literally

translating the Dhammapada from Pali into Sanskrit. This project is

described here

Those familiar with Pali and Sanskrit and interested in this salaried

project are requested to contact me at my German email address shown

on my website here

Kind regards,

Dear Sirs,

 

Much to my regret, I had to cancel this project,

which was also announced at the Pali .

 

It seems that nobody is interested in a translation

of the Dhammapada into Sanskrit. Therefore it does

not make much sense to financially support a project

which is of no interest to Hindus and Buddhists who

seem to live in entirely different worlds.

 

In Germany, Sanskritists often also learn Pali, at a

rough guess, one out of ten German Sanskritists. But

how many Indian Sanskritists learn Pali? One out of

hundred Indian Sanskritists? One out of thousand?

 

Kind regards,
