Author Info: Friedrich Max Muller (1823-1900) was a great linguist and Indological scholar born in Germany. He began his study of Sanskrit under Prof. Brockhaus and soon chose it as his special pursuit. His first work was the translation of the Hitopadesha, published in Leipzig in 1844. The East India Company commissioned him to edit the Rigveda at their expense in 1847, which resulted in the publication of six giant volumes on the subject. He is also credited with translating Kalidasa's Meghaduta. The list of his publications includes History Of Ancient Sanskrit Literature, Introduction To The Science Of Religion, Science Of Mythology and India : What Can It Teach Us? Before his death in 1900 at Oxford, he was crowned with most honours and awards a scholar could aspire to have.
