                                         LESSON
16

                       संस्कृत व्यवहार साहस्री  -१

In these lessons
under the above title are presented simple sentences in Sanskrit which can be
used in day to day conversations at the very mundane level.  There are a thousand sentences covering day
to day interactions at the home, school, office, market, festivals, religious
and other functions etc.  Practice of
these sentences, it is hoped, will enable children and adults to communicate in
grammatical Sanskrit at the most elementary level in day-to-day
situations.
