When the text was being compiled from the first ms., and the work had progressed to some extent, the second ms, was made available to the cditor. Looking to the marginal notes which were too scanty, the editor Pandit Bechardas Doshi felt it necessary to supplement them by adding profuse Sanskrit explanatary notes amounting to a veritable new Tippadaka commentary.
However, due to the very old age of the revered Pandit Bechardasji; some typographical and other errors have crept into the body of the printed text, which consequently need to be duly noticed and corrected in the light of a critical study of the text. The reader is, therefore, requested to carefully make the corrections given in Appendices I-II before he starts reading it, so that there will be no chance of his having to fumble for the exact import of the passage in question.
