I submitted the complete manuscripts of the work, edited by me as early as January, 1942, but for certain unavoidable circumstances, the Society could not undertake the printing of the volume before 1948. Then, again, the Society had to transfer the work of printing from the Baptist Mission Press to the Modern Art Press, so that the work might be published earlier. The work is now complete although it was long overdue. The abbreviations used in this volume are so well known that I need not explain them here. I add an index of authors and works to follow the Mss. described in the work. ]
To conclude, I am particularly thankful to my revered teacher late Professor Vanamali Vedantatirtha, the then Philosophical Secretary, Dr. B. S. Guha, the then General Secretary, Asiatic Society, for kindly entrusting upon me the work of editing this important work. I thank also my friends Professor Dr. Makhanlal Roy Chaudhuri, formerly General Secretary, and late lamented Rakhahari Chatterji, formerly Superintendent of the Society for kindly allowing me every facility in publishing the work.
