at my disposal, as also for revising the Introduction and Sum-
mary of contents and for helping me in other ways in bring-
ing out this edition. My thanks are also due to Sri K.
V. Sarma of the Sanskrit Department of the Madras Univer-
sity, for going through the proof of the Introduction and
the Summary of Contents and making several suggestions. In
spite of careful proof reading there remain a few errors of
printing in the text for which I crave the indulgence of
the critical reader. Corrections suggested in the Errata are,
many of them, the result of further study and careful revision.
