Professor Sarkar's method of teaching Sanskrit "without a first course of grammar" was appreciated by Mahamahopadhyaya Prof. Adityaram Bhattacharya of Allahabad University as an "effort to facilitate and popularize the study of Sanskrit." Prof. Bhattacharya said further: "The old method has done its part so long and will remain inevitable in the case of higher and thorough study. But if quicker methods of acquiring languages, living or dead, be discovered and introduced, humanity will bless him whose inventive genius can succeed to achieve the object which every well-wisher of learning has at heart. At the very outset the attempt looks somewhat revolutionary. But in other fields it is such revolutionary departures from old track that has hastened the advance of arts and sciences."
