Having thus won a benevolent hearing, he proceeded step by step on his missionary task, labouring first to set right the ideas of his auditors with respect to natural truth concerning God, the soul, etc., and then instilling by degrees the dogmas of the Christian faith. He took advantage also of his acquaintance with the books revered by the Hindus as sacred and divine. These he contrived, the first of all Europeans, to read and study in the Sanskrit originals.
Having successfully gained a favorable reception, he embarked on his missionary work methodically, initially aiming to rectify the misconceptions of his listeners regarding natural truths about God and the soul, followed by gradually introducing Christian doctrines. He also leveraged his familiarity with Hindu sacred texts to introduce them to Europeans for study in their original Sanskrit form.
