About the Book The book in its first part contains twenty-three papers of (late) Dr. Sadashiv Ambadas Dange. Excepting three, the papers have already been published in reputed research journals. The book deals with varied topics such as several Vedic beliefs; Sanskrit poetician's imagery gliding into the realm of semiotics; the 'riddle' - like incidents in the two great epics; Purana to be regarded as a 'shastra'; interesting motifs in mythology and folklore; Mimamsa-rules applied in life and some significant problems in the 'spoken' aspect of the Sanskrit language. The book in its second part gives a short biographical sketch of (late) Dr. S.A. Dange and a bibliography of his writing, the latter, on the earnest insistence of researchers and scholars.
