SAN0303 - In the third quarter of the Advanced Phase of the Certificate Program in Sanskrit Proficiency (SAN0303), students will delve into laukika nyāyāḥ (maxims and analogies), exploring them through engaging short stories. They will acquire a deeper understanding of these concepts while also studying the cardinal and ordinal numbers in all three genders and their declensions. In addition, they will be introduced to the 22 prefixes to verbs and how these prefixes impact the meanings of the verbs. Furthermore, students will hone their skills in composing formal invitations, building upon their previous practice of patralekhanam (letter writing). This quarter is dedicated to applying the knowledge gained thus far in practical ways.
