original references to define the terms though few references I could not trace out in spite of my best effort. On some places I had to put Sanskrit references.
I am very much thankful to Prof. R.R. Pandey, Head, Department of Philosophy & Religion, Banaras Hindu University, who very kindly extended the financial support to get this work published. Dr. J.B. Shah, Director, L.D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad was always with me at every step of this work, and he extended every facility regarding computer, at the campus of Shardaben Chimanbhai Educational Research Centre, Ahmedabad. I am thankful to him and his staff Mr. Akhilesh Mishra, Harish Bhai, Priten Bhai and others. I am thankful to Dr. Prem Shanker Dwivedi, who is also my friend, for the trouble he faced while publishing this work. I extend my full respect to Prof. N.S.S. Raman, who very kindly gave me several suggestions from time to time. Prof. Bhuvan Chandel of Department of Philosophy, Panjab University, Chandigarh has been the real presiding deity over and above all the efforts I performed to complete the book. I dedicate my humble 'Pranam' to her, because she made me whatever I am today.
