This lexicon, the earliest known thematic compilation of Sanskrit terms, includes words from the Chinese translations of Buddhist sutras, as well as records from lost travel accounts. It provides valuable historical insights through the names of Central Asian and Indian cities, monasteries, and caityas, quoted from the travel records of Chih-mong and T\u003c\/code\u003eang-wu-chieh. These monks, who preceded the famous HsYan-tsang, traveled extensively through India, Sri Lanka, and Central Asia, naming their teachers and documenting their journeys. This lexicon is a critical resource for the study of ancient Indian history, the evolution of Buddhism, and the spread of Buddhist teachings across Asia. The present translation, edited from three drafts by Prof. Raghuvira and Prof. Yamamoto Chikyo, offers scholars an invaluable tool for studying Buddhism’s historical and geographical impact on India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Central Asia, and China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ADITYA PRAKASHAN Indological Publishers \u0026 Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102518120752,"sku":"DRG.AdityaPrakashan _9788177420746","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/9788177420746.jpg?v=1756549997","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/sanskrit-chinese-lexicon-being-fan-fan-yu-the-first-known-lexicon-of-its-kind-dated-to-ad-517-transcribed-reconstructed-and-tr-by-raghuvira-and-his-disciple-yamamoto-chikyo","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
