Dear Patrick,

Thank you for this great suggestion! As I said, I'm thinking of pairing up the book with a website on which to put the texts I can't include if I aim at having a Reader less voluminous than the Petersburg Dictionary:-). Still, at least some short-ish excerpts from modern Sanskrit texts might be just the thing to include at the end of the physical reader.

Thanks again,
   and all the best,
        Antonia

Dear Antonia, 

Perhaps, for the 2nd volume of the reader (if you include all the wonderful suggestions of the members of the list, it seems you'll need a few volumes at least), you might consider including more recent Sanskrit texts - one that comes to mind is the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights. Including a Sanskrit version, it has been translated into 370 languages.
