TRANSLITERATION CONVENTIONS
For the papers written in English, words from Sanskrit, Ardhamāgadhi and other Prakrits including the Apabhramśa etc. will be diacriticised if rendered in Roman script. (Quotations can also be in Nagari script.) (Here we suggest those for the Sanskrit (classical), the Prakrit, the Apabhramsa, and the Dravidic languages. For other languages, namely Arabic, Persian and the modern European languages, the current international conventions for transliteration for their rendering may be followed.)
