________________
The edition is based on the following two manuscripts :
1. A paper MS belonging to the Government Oriental MS Library Madras. This is a recent copy and is designated O. L.
2. A palm-leaf MS belonging to the Oriental Institute, Baroda. This may be about a century old and has been designated C. L.
xi
Both the Mss were found defective in many places and the scribe's errors were not few. It has happened that some printer's mistakes have crept into the edition, in spite of our best efforts to avoid them. These have been corrected in the Errata and the editor craves the indulgence of the readers in this matter.
In conclusion, our grateful thanks are due to Prâktanavimarṣavicaksana Rao Bahadur R. Narasimhachar, M. A. (Retired Director of Archaeology, Mysore State) and Sri Emberumanar Swâmî, the Principal, Government Sanskrit College, Melkote, for help so willingly rendered by them in supplying the list of works by Nañjaraja and the valuable genealogy of the Kalale kings.
