What reading level is India in Primitive Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Neither of these Chinese travellers saw this temple, we must recollect, and each calls it a Sangharama. But all the old travellers call Elora a Hindu temple. Captain Seely, who made the closest study of all, calls it a temple of S'iva and Durga, and says that the lingam is everywhere.
At the great entrance of Kailas are two enormous statues of S'iva and Durga, one on each side. The Holy of Holies, says Captain Seely, is a bare cave with a lingam in the middle. Two mighty giants with clubs guard... the Sacullum, and a great statue of Nandi, the bull, also stands sentry by it.
Heeren, the learned German, makes a strong point in favour of the antiquity of these temples. He says that the inscriptions are in Sanskrit, which points to a date when Sanskrit was a spoken language in India. A pious donor erecting, say a fine hospital in Manchester, would not record the fact in the language of the Ancient Britons. Sanskrit was no longer a spoken language about 300 B. C.
Professor Beal mentions that the rock temple described by Hiouen Tsiang was according to that C ^t* K = W H Pm ARCHITECTURE 147 authority erected by King Sadvaha at the instance of Nagarjuna, * who for the mighty outlay necessary for the purpose changed all the " great stones " to gold.
