Ciao dotti.

I've been thinking that when I have finished reading through the BORI  
Mahabharata in a few months I would like to stop using the Apte  
Sanskrit-English dictionary and take up a Sanskrit-Sanskrit one.  When  
I was in Cambridge I used to have access to the huge Vacaspati  
dictionary but I don't own it and I can't do my daily reading in the  
BORI library.  So I'm wondering if there is a smaller newer edition of  
the Vacaspati, like the nice photographically reduced complete Apte  
and Monier Williams dictionaries that one can get nowadays from  
Motilal Banarsidas (that's the Apte I use at home) and some Japanese  
publisher, or are there other good Sanskrit-Sanskrit dictionaries that  
I could find in the Pune Sanskrit bookshops?

Qual è la retta condotta?  Non distruggere mai la vita, perché l'uccisione
conduce a ogni altro peccato.  Di tutte le buone azioni riassunte  
dagli antichi
saggi, la più importante è condividere il cibo e proteggere tutte le creature
viventi.

(Tirukkural XXIII: 321-322)
