Book excerpt: In a traditional sense, the Indian institution of the "pandit" denoted an individual that was a scholar, teacher, adviser, spiritual adviser, specialist, and legal expert says Michaels (classical Indology, U. of Heidelberg, Germany). He presents 13 essays that are at once an examination of the role of the pandit in current Sanskrit scholarship and a festschrift to one particular pandit, K. Parameswara Aithal.
