- Synopsis
- This book would never have been written but for Brian K. Smith, who conceived the project, had the idea of translating everything (even dharma), contributed many of the ideas for the introduction, compiled most of the bibliography, brought back the texts from India, furnished a translation of the parts of the book dealing with Vedic ritual (all of Chapters 3 and 4 and the first forty verses of Chapter 11), and suggested ingenious translations of many key terms.
