Acknowledgement
 
I gratefully acknowledge the help rendered by the
following scholars in preparing this work. I am highly obliged
to all of them. I thank Prof. R. Srihari, retired Vice-
Chancellor of Dravidian University, Kuppam (A.P) for
permitting me to use his book. I am also thankful to Prof.
K.S. Arjunwadkar, a versatile scholar of Maharashtra for
allowing me to use his books especially the Bhuvanesa-
laukikasāhasrī. Dr. Prasad Joshi prepared a consolidated copy
of all the Nyayas and my revered friend Prof. Y.S. Kulkarni
has gone through the work and has given his valuable
suggestions wherever needed. I thank both these scholars for
their help. The tedious work of proof-correction was
undertaken by Prof. Dr. Kanchan Mande, Head dept. of
Sanskrit, S.P. College, Pune. Inspite of her tight schedule
she willingly agreed to give a helping hand in preparing a
list of all the Nyāyas in Devanagari alphabetical order and
thus upholding the motto निर्वाह : प्रतिपन्नवस्तुषु of her institution.
I thank her sincerly.
 
I also thank sincerly Shri Gautambhai-Bharatiya Kala
Prakashan, Delhi for undertaking the task of printing and
publishing this book. I express my indebtedness to all of
them.
