In \u003ci\u003eLanguage of the Immortals\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned scholar and critic G. N. Devy uncovers the astounding paradox of Sanskrit-an ancient language that shaped Indian thought, philosophy, and identity for millennia, yet was never truly a language of the people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With rigorous scholarship, Devy dismantles enduring myths and offers a revealing commentary on Sanskrit's historical and cultural trajectory. He shows how it achieved unsurpassed prestige not through conquest or commerce, but sheer intellectual brilliance. He explores the way in which Sanskrit shaped intellectual life across centuries, influenced cultures beyond India, and maintained its prestige through the oral tradition and spiritual symbolism rather than the patronage of the state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This concise yet profound work reimagines what it means for a language to live on-long after it has ceased to be spoken.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45776808149189,"sku":"9789365235432","price":60.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/luN-v6Af-z9789365235432.webp?v=1770553179","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/language-of-the-immortals-a-concise-history-of-sanskrit-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
