The Sanskrit Dictionary of the Buddhist Texts from the Turfan Finds and of the Canonical Literature of the Sarvastivada School is a bilingual (Sanskrit-English) dictionary , which lexicographically opens up the early Buddhist literature. Due to the extensiveness of the citations and the complete inclusion of the vocabulary and references of the evaluated texts, with a few exceptions, the dictionary has the character of a special concordance as well as that of a general phraseology of the Buddhist Sanskrit of the canonical Sarvastivada texts. The texts considered in the dictionary contain a large part of the common phrases of Buddhist Sanskrit. It thus makes a significant contribution to Indian lexicography.
