of course this book and his grammar are valuable I think they are a little bit boring.First of all, Sanskrit Grammar and Roots, Verb Forms are written without devanagari scripts.For this reason one may use Introduction to Sanskrit 2 by Thomas Egenes because it gives the roots and the derivatives in devanagari though the roots are numerically fewer than that of Whitney's.

The previous reviewer is absolutely correct. This slim bound package of dynamite will save you hours of page flipping in Monier-William's beast.
Excellent for advanced students who are confronting several new roots, and very useful for beginners too for practice in memorizing the tenses, moods, and derivatives.
This is undoubtedly a must-have in the Sanskrit scholar's arsenal.
An indespensable reference workAugust 4, 2000 15 out of 16 found this review helpful
Sanskrit must hold the record for the most verbal forms derivable from a single verbal root. Whitney's work not only provides the forms - primary conjugations, secondary derivations and some derivatives - but tags them with the era of Sanskrit in which they occur - Vedas, Updanishads, Epic, Classical etc. This is a must in the library of anyone who reads - or attempts to read - Sanskrit.
