Select Opinions and Reviews
Dr. S. K. CHATTERJI, The University of Calcutta, Calcutta: 'It is really magnum opus for which any scholar may feel proud. The learned introduction is a model of what such an introduction should be. Your extensive learning and your prodigious industry both elicit unstinted admiration;...the subsection... on the language of the text is a very valuable addition to our positive knowledge of Sanskrit, Prakrit (and Bhasha) philology.'
The Adyar Library Bulletin: as a source of information on social conditions, religious history, cultural elements, linguistic data, historical and geographical side-lights etc., the work is indeed valuable and would pay amply a detailed study; and for such a study, Dr. Upadhye has already contributed much in his critical apparatus in this volume. (V. RAGHAVAN)
Journal of the University of Bombay: His [i. e. Dr. Upadhye's] erudition and his knowledge of the editorial technique coupled with the speed with which he works are the things, very rare and most covetable.......The Editor has adorned the work with a brilliant and an exhaustive Introduction in which he has discussed with a scholarly grasp all possible aspects relating to the work'. (A. S. GOPANI)
Indian Historical Quarterly: In a long Introduction the learned editor besides drawing attention to the critical apparatus and the method followed in the presentation of the text, gives a comprehensive account of the narrative tale in old Indian literature with special reference to the literature of the Jains which can boast of a rich store of this material'. (C. CHAKRAVARTI).
