A few opinions on Venkata-Mādhava's
commentary on the Rgveda. Dr. L. Renou, Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Paris :"Please convey my thanks to M. Lakshman Sarup for his amiable thought of sending me a few specimen pages of his new work, Venkata Madhava's commentary on the Rgveda.
I consider that a complete and critical edition of this text is a desideratum of Vedic studies. From the specimens which have been sent to me, I believe that the commentary of Venkata Madhava will enrich our knowledge of the text of the Rgveda and will help us to go further than Sayaņa. In presence of a text as important and obscure as the Rgveda, no means which facilitate its study and help in its understanding should be neglected.
No one appears to me to be better qualified than M. Lakshman Sarup to undertake this edition. The monumental edition of the Nirukta which we owe to him is one of the best, which Indian scholarship has given to us. We also know that he works quickly and therefore we can hope that this new monumental edition will not be left in a deplorable state of incompleteness.
Whatever it may be, I salute the importance, the enterprise and the courage of the Editor".
Dr. Jules Bloch, Professor of comparative Philology at the University of Paris :-"Please accept my thanks for the specimen of Dr. Lakshman Sarup's edition of Venkata Mādhava. I am pleased that that indefatigable worker has decided to publish that commentary on which he already had attracted attention apropos of the Nirukta, nearly ten years ago, and of which I suppose the mss. he possesses will enable him to give a standard edition. The publication will honour him and give a new proof of his spirit of enterprise. I have nothing to object or to add to the plan which seems very comprehensive. I cordially wish that the expected six volumes will come out soon enough".
Dr. F. Edgerton, Professor of Sanskrit at the Yale University, New Haven, U. S. A.:-'I beg to thank you heartily for sending me sample proofs of Dr. Lakshman Sarup's edition of the Rgveda with Venkata Madhava's commentary. I have examined them, and am glad to say that I recognise the
