importance of the work, which will be of very great value to Vedic Scholars I congratulate Dr. Sarup on it. Such examination as I have given the wor does not suggest any general improvements as needed."
Dr. Sten Konow, Professor of Sanskrit at the U. of Oslo, Sweden :-"Man thanks for kindly sending my som pages of the edition of the Rgved: with Madhava's commentary. So far as I can judge, the arrangement o the text is clear and well suited to show how Madhava explains individua wolds. The addition of footnotes giving the explanation of other commentaries .. a welcome feature and, on the whole, this new edition of the Rgveda wil be very useful and almost indispensable to the Vedic student".
Dr. Johnstone, Boden Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford:"Your letter of Feb. 14th. (1938) forwarding specimen proofs of Professor Lakshman Sarup's edition of Madhava's commentary on the Rgveda. The commentary will be a valuable addition to our knowledge, and the addi
onal matter contained in the footnotes will be extremely useful. I have really no comments to make on the plan, which seems to be well thought out".

The standard commentary by Sāyaṇa has not always satisfied the interpreters of the Rgveda.
