Table of contents: title: Proverbs are coherent and  lively documents  of   human experiences in succinct manner. These give vigor to  language. Some proverbs  are   for  shock treatment to the stupid ones. Some are  drumbeats to  the  slumbering   lethargic! Proverbs are   strong pulses of  folklore. Citing  proverbs  in  daily   conversation   is age-old practice  of people. Collection  and study   of    these   wonderful aphorisms   are made several times in  hundreds of  languages of the world. We do not know original  creators of these  by name. But   we do  know   modern authors  by name who have   produced proverbs afresh inspired by  the old ones. Aabhaanaka-jagannatha,  a  compilation of  new proverbs in Sanskrit is  authored by  S.Jagannatha,  free thinker.  This work is permeated with new maxims, imaginations,  teeny-weeny  sketches of  author's   own experience and imitation of old  adages. The  number  of  proverbs is  one thousand,  three hundred and twenty two(1322). All  proverbs are classified and  arranged alphabetically in every classified group. Meanings of  difficult words  in  footnotes  and  introduction of   proverbs  are  in  Sanskrit  itself. Contents of  the subjects  are  provided  at the beginning. Alphabetical  lists of - all  the  proverbs, subjects  and the words shown  in  the  footnotes- are given at the  end for quick reference.
