description of the old Dravida Dharmika.
I have tried my best to keep up in this compilation,

M. Rangachariar Avl. written after a perusal of
this work.
MY DEAR PANDIT,
I am so glad that you have been able to carry out
my suggestion regarding the Kadambari Sangraha
so well.
From what I have known of your work, I
believe it will prove of great use in the hands of Sans-
krit students and make it easy for them to appreciate
the story as well as the style of Kadambari.

Yours with sincere regards,
M. RANGACHAR.

it finds a place in the hands of every Sanskrit student
and creates in him a taste for the style of Kadambari,
I would consider myself amply rewarded for my
labours.
I have generally followed the readings adopted by
Dr. Peterson in his edition of Kadambari, which, I
may say, is very carefully edited.
