llor, Utkal University, who has all along shown his kind interest in this publication.
I take this opportunity to express my thanks to Mr. A. SAINBURY, Keeper of Oriental Books, Bodleian Library, Oxford for his kind assistance in supplying me with the microfilm copy of PS, Wilson 158 b, on my personl request. My thanks are also due to the librarians and library staff of Utkal University Library, Vani Vihar; Kanika Library, Ravenshaw College, Cuttack; Orissa State Museum Library, Bhubaneswar; Asiatic Society Library, Calcutta; National Library, Calcutta and above all, Fakir Mohan College Library, Balasore, for the help they rendered me in consulting many books, Mss. and Journals. My thanks are also due to the Editor, Orissa Historical Research Journal for having published my paper, “ Fotgotten works known to Mārkandeya Kavindra” which has been developed to form Section IV of the Introduction.
Last but not the least, I owe a great deal to my revered father, Pandit BANAMALI ACHARYA, Sāhitya, Darsanaśāstra, Samkhya-yoga acharya whose kind blessings have sustained me allthrough this noble undertaking. I, therefore, devotedly dedicate this work to him.
