"*** I congratulate you on having done and done well a work
which cannot fail to be of great service to Sanskrit Scholars The
work is really a very important one. Though it is a work on
Erotics only and treats principally of love, it contains a good deal
of valuable information on many important subjects and will be
found to be a great help in the study of Indian society in ancient
times as well as in our endeavours to account for many customs
and practices of medieval and modern Indo-Aryans The
commentary you have published is one of the best specimens of
its class, it always elucidates all the really dark points in the
text and gives particulars geographical, political and social, which
are not usually met with in similar works. You seem to have
devoted much care and labour in bringing out your edition. I hope
that it will command the success which it undoubtedly, in my
opinion, deserves and pay the trouble you have taken in pre-
paring it." Mr. Haridasa S'âstri, MA, F. S Sc. (Lond), M.
R. A. S; F. R H. S. (Director of Public Instruction, Jaypur
State Jaypur 24-4-91.)

"Please accept my best thanks for the copy of Vâtsyâyana's
Kamasutras which you have kindly sent me I feel sure that the
editing of this difficult and important work could not have been
in better hands than yours, and that by the publication of this
strange book you have rendered a great service to Sanskrit scholar-
ship."-Dr. F. Kelhorn, Ph. D, ( Göttingen 1-5-91.)

**** I think the publication of this book is likely to be of much
assistance in the investigations now being carried on into the
Literary History, and the social condition of Ancient and Medieval
India ***-The Honorable Mr. Justice K. T. Telang M. A;
LL B; C. I E. (High Court, Bombay, 3-8-91.)

**** The Kâmasûitra seems to me to be very valuable for all
researches covering Infant Marriage in Ancient India, as it supplies
many details to the marriage laws preserved in the Smritis and
Grihya Sûtras.***"-Prof J. Jolly (Professor of Sanskrit in
Würzburg University, late Tagore Professor of Law, Germany,
19-10-91 )
