ignore the previous review

I am compelled to respond to the previous review suggesting a zero rating. Let's start with a few facts. Daniel H.H. Ingalls may very well have been the greatest Sanskritist of the 20th century. Harvard's Wales Professor for more than thirty odd years, he mentored more than he wrote but his fine scholarship in Indology is considered among the greatest efforts of our age, including this beautiful collection from the Subhasitaratnakosa. I would recommend you ignore the maglinantly ignorant, impenetrably stupid review above and read this as one of the most authentic and valuable contributions to Sanskrit literature in translation currently available.
