He also wishes to thank Prof. G. K. Bhat, Prof. Satya Vrat Shastri and Prof. S.A. Dange, who had read the thesis and encouraged him for its publication.
The writer is also grateful to the respected Dr. H.C. Bhayani, who took personal interest in directing the study to its publication and Dr. Nagin J. Shah, Director, L.D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad and other friends and authorities of the Institute who continuously extended their kind co-operation during the process of its publication.
