There are several works written by Europeans on the Mythology of the Hindus; Moor's Hindu Pantheon, Ward's Account of the Hindus, Dowson's and Garnett's Dictionaries of Hindu Mythology, Wilkins' Hindu Mythology and McDonnel's Vedic Mythology are well-known to Sanskrit scholars. But these works by no means exhaust the subject. In the preface to his dictionary of Hindu Mythology, Professor Dowson very truly said that "the full harvest of Sanskrit learning has not yet been gathered in."
Although great credit is due to European scholars for what they have done for Sanskrit learning, yet their works generally suffer from the disadvantage which was pointed out by Schopenhauer more than half a century ago.
