INTRODUCTION TO ARDHA-MĀGADHI
based on its predecessors, shows a respectable amount of new matter, explanations and system of arrangement.
I record here my thanks to my teachers Prof. A. N. Upadhye, M.A., D.Litt. and Prof. H. D. Velankar, M.A. for constant help in the writing of the book and to Mr. J. N. Dani, B.A. (Hon.) B.T. for help in preparing the press copy and proof-reading. Finally I must not forget to thank the Publisher and Printer for doing their work with enthusiasm and great care.
