message: The Bharata text was subsequently expanded, quadrupling in size over the time of four centuries or so reaching its zenith of philosophical sophistication in the seminal work of the Hindu religion, the Bhagavad Gita, which appears in the tenth Parva (book) of the Mahabharata. 
Edited this part. This sentence makes you feel as if Mahabharata is a philosophical work which is not true. Gita, YakshPrashna, Bhisma and Yudhishithira's comments about ethics are some of the verses that can be termed Philosophy but that is not major part considering the total number of verses. --Kaveri 19:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: You don't say if treaties such as Artashastra, the Dharmashastras (and particularly the Manava Dharmashastra), the Kamasutra and the Karmashastra,
are written in Sanskrit, and you don't say for how long inscriptions and juridical texts (statutes, bills, contracts) have been written in Sanskrit: I suppose until the Muslim conquest.

message: It would be informative if the various mentions of written Sanskrit would state what writing systems were used in those instances.  At a general level, there is some relevant info at Sanskrit#Writing system about the various systems that have been used.  -- HLachman (talk) 12:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I came to this article as I was trying to see which articles to link to the main Sanskrit article. To my disappointment, this article has been tagged for a while, with "This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (December 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)". Almost all of the main text was unsourced, some absurd OR such as "Indian literary production saw a late bloom in the 11th century before declining after 1100 CE, hastened by the Islamic conquest of India", etc, all worth the WP:TNT treatment. I have also taken out Ohashi et al for now, as the summary looks misrepresented. I have left the last section in, for now, as it has sources but these too need verification checks and a review for notability / WP:DUE / NPOV etc. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 00:17, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

message: In the article name, is Vedic
* an adjective, ie, "associated with the Vedas", or
* a noun, referring to the language Vedic Sanskrit (aka Vedic)
If the former, the inclusion seem unnecessary. If the latter, it needs to be spelled out. Wondering if we would not be better off simply renaming the article  Sanskrit literature. Thoughts? Abecedare (talk) 11:13, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The simpler Sanskrit literature title would be much better for this article. The "Vedic and" seems repetitive, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 00:58, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
