The Buddhist Indus Script and Scriptures

On the so-called Bhaiksuki or Saindhavi Script of the Sa mitiyas and their Canon

More about the book

The book delves into the Buddhist Indus script, known as Saindhavi, characterized by its unique "arrow-headed" characters. First identified by Cecil Bendall in a twelfth-century manuscript, it has been linked to the Saindhava monks and their canonical literature, which was thought to be lost. Utilizing Tibetan sources, the author establishes the script's original name and highlights its significance within the context of Buddhist history and literature, shedding light on an important yet overlooked aspect of this tradition.
