Established in 2011, Prasaranga serves as the dedicated publication division of Karnataka Samskrit University, with the primary objective of disseminating the rich academic and research output of the University and its affiliated Sanskrit Colleges and Pathashalas. Since its inception, Prasaranga has functioned as a vital link between scholars, researchers, and the wider community of Sanskrit learners and enthusiasts.
Through its extensive publication activities, Prasaranga promotes the preservation, study, and advancement of Sanskrit knowledge across multiple disciplines. It publishes a wide variety of scholarly works including research papers, critical editions of ancient texts, commentaries, translations, journals, newsletters, and annual reports in Sanskrit, Kannada, and English. These publications not only highlight the contributions of faculty and researchers from the Postgraduate Departments but also bring to light the intellectual heritage and wisdom contained within classical Sanskrit literature. By making research accessible in multiple languages and covering diverse areas such as philosophy, linguistics, grammar, poetics, logic, science, and cultural studies, Prasaranga bridges the gap between traditional Sanskrit scholarship and modern academic discourse. Its efforts embody the Universitys vision of revitalizing Sanskrit studies, fostering interdisciplinary knowledge, and inspiring new generations of scholars to engage with Indias ancient intellectual traditions.
