Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 I read William Buck's Mahabharata and Ramayana ages ago, and recall that he said in the introductions that he did not know Sanskrit, but worked by cannibalizing and regurgitating mainly the Roy Bharata and Sastri Ramayana. I have heard his versions abominated by sanskritists, so I am surprised to find that Wendy Doniger in her Origins of Evil in Hindu Mythology cites him several times with respect. Is there a substantial number of sanskritists who think that he had something original to contribute despite his scholarly limitations? P.
