This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Otto von Bohtlingk was borh on the 30th of May 1815 at St Petersburg, Russian Empire (now Russia).
Having studied( 1833 - 1835) Oriental languages, particularly Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit, at the university of St Petersburg, he continued his studies in Germany, first in Berlin and then (1839 - 1842) in Bonn.
Returning to St Petersburg in 1842, Bohtlingk was attached to the Royal Academy of Sciences. In 1860 he was made "Russian state councillor, " and later "privy councillor" with a title of nobility. In 1868 he settled at Jena, and in 1885 removed to Leipzig, where he resided until his death there on the 1st of April 1904.
Bohtlingk was one of the most distinguished scholars of the 19th century, and his works are of pre-eminent value in the field of Indian and comparative philology. His first great work was an edition of Panini's Acht Bucher grammatischer Regeln (Bonn, 1839 - 1840), which was in reality a criticism of Franz Bopp's philological methods. This book Bohtlingk again took up forty-seven years later, when he republished it with a complete translation under the title Paninis Grammatik mit Ubersetzung (Leipzig, 1887). The earlier edition was followed by Vopadevas Grammatik (St Petersburg, 1847); Uber die Sprache der Jakuten (St Petersburg, 1851); Indische Spruche (2nd ed. in 3 parts, St Petersburg, 1870-1873, to which an index was published by Blau, Leipzig, 1893); a critical examination and translation of Chhandogya-upanishad (St Petersburg, 1889) and a translation of Brihadaranyaka-upanishad (St Petersburg, 1889). In addition to these he published several smaller treatises, notably one on the Sanskrit accents, Uber den Accent im Sanskrit (1843). But his magnum opus is his great Sanskrit dictionary, Sanskrit-Worterbuch (7 vols. , St Petersburg, 1853-1875; newed. 7 vols. , St Petersburg, 1879-1889), which with the assistance of his two friends, Rudolf Roth (1821 - 1895) and Albrecht Weber (b. 1825), was completed in twenty-three years.
