Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Mentioned in Encyclopedia Britannica?
Relationship with his books is relationship with him.
SanskritGeorge L. Harte, University of CaliforniaA Rapid Sanskrit MethodMotilal Banarsidass, Dehli, 1989
Preface“It [sanskrita]is, like Chinese, Arabic, Greek and Latin, one of the few languages which has been a carrier of a culture over a long period of time.
Thus, the variety of writings in it, and the quantity of those writings are staggering. An incomplete list of subjects treated in Sanskrit, usually with great prolixity, is as follows:The four VedasThe Brahmanas and AranyakasThe UpanisadsGrammarEpic, puranic, literature - Including 18 major puranas, 18 minor puranas, and hundred of sthalapuranas.
Works on MedicineLogicAstronomy & AstrologyMathematicsLawbooksArchitectureMusic…On most of these subjects, there is an immense literature still extant. Indeed, a rough estimate of the works which will be listed in The New Catalogus Catalogorum yields a total of about 160,000 works… many so difficult that it would take years of study to properly understand them.…Sanskrit does have its share of great writers: Kalidasa ranks with the greatest poets, Panini is without question the greatest pre-modern grammarian, the Mahabharata ranks with the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the Bhagavata-purana is among the finest works of devotion every written, being equaled in my opinion only by other works in Indian languages.”
