Of these texts, the Mahārājñistava and the Upadesasikhāmaņt
are based on more than one manuscript.
 
I would appeal to scholars, especially those who possess
private manuscript collections or are working in manuscript
libraries, to co-operate in this undertaking and send manuscripts
or press-copies of short works for publication in the future
numbers of the Malayamāruta.
 
May the fresh vivifying breath of the Malayamāruta bring to
light and life the countless creations of the Sanskrit Muse
slumbering in the corners of the manuscript libraries and contribute
to the fuller appreciation and enjoyment of her endless expressions
of beauty and profundity.
