narayan Bahura, M. A., Dy. Director, Rajasthan Oriental Research Institute, Jodhpur.
The series of important rare Sanskrit and Prakrit texts called the Rajasthan Puratan Granthamala started by Muniji under his General-Editorship is doing valuable service to Indology... With his characteristic vision and historical insight Muniji has selected for this series some rare texts of great historical, literary and cultural value... These texts in Sanskrit will facilitate the search for similar texts...The manuscript of the Rajavinoda Kavya in praise of Mahamud Begda was acquired by Dr. Buhler in 1857 for the Govt. of Bonbay.
Muni Jinvijayaji was the first to realise the importance of the poem and make arrangements for its editing and publication in the series of the Rajasthan O. R. Institute Accordingly he entrusted the work of editing this poem to Shri Gopalnarayan and I am happy to find that this learned editor has spared no pains in giving us an edition worthy of the series in which it appears... I have to convey my hearty congratulations to Muni Jinvijayaji upon the wise planning of his scheme of Rajasthan Puratana Granthamala and its successful execution by entrusting different works in it to competent scholars like Shri Gopalnarayan, who also deserves the best thanks of all lovers of Indian
