    thumbs up!
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013*

I ordered this book for a class im taking and was thrilled when i received it. Although i received an older version of the book all the same information was present in the text so i didnt mind. The book was also very well maintained and looked like one of those old library treasures that was hidden on some shelf for many a year until just recently found... nonetheless very happy. Oh and the myths in the book are pretty interesting too; its a fun read that can make you think.

I am fairly unfamiliar with Hindu mythology, so I was very excited to get this collection. I can't speak for the translation job, but it was an enjoyable read.

    good scholarly source on ancient Sanskrit (not modern Hinduism)
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2010*

This is not a book on Hinduism, but on the traditional stories of the Vedic religion.  Doniger O'Flaherty is a competent, respected scholar who knows this material inside out and, of course, knows Sanskrit extremely well.  Her translations are readable and her notes are good.  She gives readers a path through the luxuriant jungles of ancient Sanskrit literature and scholarship.If you're looking for a devotional aid, this isn't it;  if you're looking for modern Hinduism, it's not that either.  But if you're interested in what stands behind the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the Rig Veda, this is a good place to start.  There are copious references to Sanskrit sources and there is a good bibliography (though as the book is now 35 years old, the bibliography is getting a bit dated).
