________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org VI Madras 31-7-1931. Palm leaf manuscripts. From this short survey, it will be clear that this Library is probably one of the best preserved among Oriental Libraries in India. To Oriental Scholars in particular the Library is of inestimable value in that it contains the richest collections of South Indian Sanskrit Manuscripts. As the funds at the disposal of the Library were not adequate to undertake the printing and publishing of a descriptive catalogue of all the Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Library the Administrative Committee of the Library approached the Government of Madras year after year with the request for a special grant towards the saine. In their G. O, No. Mis. 568, dated the 9th April 1927, the Government of Madras were pleased to allot the necessary funds for a three year programme. The triennium came to a close on the 31st March 1930 and nine volumes of descriptive catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts were published by the Committee. The Government of Madras have placed the necessary funds at the disposal of the Committeee to continue the work already undertaken for a further period of three years. During the current triennium it is proposed to issue ten more volumes of descriptive catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts wherein it is also hoped that it would be found possible to include adequate description of all the remaining Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Library. Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir In issuing this Catalogue, I have great pleasure in acknow. ledging gratefully the loyal and ever-ready assistance I have been uniformly getting from Rao Sahib T. Sambamurty Rao Avi, B. A., B L. the energetic Honorary Secretary of the Library. For Private and Personal Use Only P. P. S. Sastri. Editor.
