Dear Rembert,

See these two short articles for starters:

Renate Söhnen-Thieme (1995) "On the concept and function of satya ('truth') in ancient Indian literature", Cracow Indological Studies 1, 235-244.
J.C. Wright (1998) "Ṛgvedic satyá", BSOAS 61.3, 519-526.

Best wishes,
Robert

Dear colleagues,

I have a student who wants to explore the idea of truth and
truthfulness in Sanskrit texts, and is particularly interested in
studies on the word satya. I assume there is some literature on this,
but nothing immediately comes to mind. I'd be grateful for any
directions, to studies both on the word satya and on the broader topic
of truthfulness.

Best wishes,
Rembert
