Assistant Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies Stephanie Jamison, also praised Ingalls' influence in the field.
"Ingalls had a tremendous impact on Sanskrit and Indology in this country and was one of the last scholars who truly controlled the whole vast field," said Jamison, who is also head tutor and director of graduate studies.
Despite his love for the language, Ingalls often joked about its complexity.
According to Witzel, Ingalls once wrote in a student handbook, "Sanskrit is a difficult language--students are advised not to take it."
Ingalls--who also served as president of the American Oriental Society--retired in 1983 to serve as chairman of Virginia Hot Springs, Inc., his family business.
