PREFACE
It is really a matter of great pleasure to place before lovers of Indian Philosophy the present edition of Upadhyaya Harṣavardhana's Adhyatmabindu, a work hitherto unpublished. The author who has seriously studied the works of Ac. Kundakunda in all probability belongs to the first half of 16th century of Vikrama Era. The work consists of four dvātrimśikās and the auto-commentary on the first only.
We are very thankful to Muni Shri Mitranandavijayaji and Dr. Nagin J. Shah for undertaking the editing of this work. They have tried to make the text as flawless as possible. The indices given at the end of the text enhance the value of the edition. The Introduction by Dr. Shah is really interesting and instructive. Therein he has given the summary of the entire text. Moreover, he has discussed ably the problem of authorship and other theoretical points of much philosophical interest. My thanks are also due to Pt. Bechardas ji Doshi for having gone through the final presscopy.
We hope that this publication will be of very great value to the students of Indian philosophy.
