Description
 
...this dictionary which will contain about 40,000 Tibetan terms (words, names and technical terms) and more than 150,000 Sanskrit synonyms. The dictionary does not only list for each word the Sanskrit equivalents which occur ins Sanskrit texts translated into Tibetan but also in many instances it indicates the context. The sources used by J. S. Negi are 86 texts, eleven dictionaries and ten kosas. The sources comprise many sutras, sastras and Tantric texts. Non-Buddhist texts have also been consulted as, for instance, the Kavyadarsa, the Unadivrtti and the Candronadivrtti.

...this dictionary which, once completed, will be of great use for the study of Sanskrit and Tibetan texts. According to the introduction, the dictionary is compiled primarily for the purpose of restoration work. To restore Tibetan texts into Sanskrit will always be very difficult if not impossible but, undoubtedly, this dictionary will greatly help in determine the range of Sanskrit words rendered into Tibetan by translators and, in this way, will facilitate the understanding of Tibetan translations of lost Sanskrit works.
