Dear list,
In Classics, PhD students in the US are often given lists of texts from a wide range of genres that they are expected to read, mostly in the original, over the course of their degree.
Do any such lists exist for Sanskrit? I assume the situation is rather different given the different histories not only of the respective languages but also of their academic study; but anything of this kind that you might be willing to share with me would be most gratefully received. Likewise if you do not have such a list, but have thoughts on what should be on it!
Should there be any interest in this, I will compile what I get and post it to the list.
The number of people studying Sanskrit in their own time is rather wonderfully on the rise, it seems.
Many thanks, as always,
