Review
research potential. "The Jaina view of Aesthetic Experience" could better not have found place in the present work. "Sanskrit Rhetoricians on Poetic Truth" added as an appendix could very well have been one of the valu able papers in the work. It is not clear as to why it is given as an appendix. The index of authors and works is interesting.
This quick review of the method, content and critical remarks of the author on some of the papers shows that
(1) The research faculty of the author is deep, sound, precise and subtle.
(ii) "Nāmülm likhyate kincit" is the author's firm vow.
(iii) The author is a man of few bat sound words.
(iv) The rationality and scholarship of the author undeniably speak for themselves now and again, particalarly in his critical remarks. He is so very clear that the readers are not confused anywhere.
(V)

The author is an expert in tracing research problems that strike to the minds of few.
The present work is thus a welcome addition to the books of lofty research and scholarship in the field of Sanskrit poetics in particuar and Sanskrit studies in general.
