What reading level is Ancient India: Its Language And Religions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
certain particular individuals, dominating personal- ities, who, however, can be the leading spirits that they are only because they express with the greatest energy in their own persons the same life and action that animates their companions.
Thus, in sharp contrast with the great mass of the unenlightened, there is developed the type of half- heroic, half-philosophic heroes or virtuosi. A concep- tion of this sort is hardly conceivable in a time like that of the Veda, or of Homer. True, he wh...o had distinguished himself as a fine bard, or as an expert sacrificer, or as an adept and successful priest and sorcerer, may have had his honors in that age, too. But he was always nothing more than the type of a genus, ^ prominent expert in the use of the tools of the religious trade which had representatives everywhere. But the men whom we are now looking at are something very different. They were, or so appeared to be, persons who possessed a distinctive stamp of their own ; they were sublime pathfinders, pioneers, not to be com- pared with other mortals, steeped in the powers of a peculiar mystical completeness and perfection.
