________________ Desintimamila “Hemacandra was born on the full-moon of Kārtika, Samvat 1145 (A. C. 1088). In Samvat 1154 (A. C. 1097) he was initiated into the priestly orders ; in 1166 ( A. C. 1109 ) he obtained the degree or title of Sūri and died in Samvat 1229 (A. C. 1172) at the age of 84" (JBBRAS, xxvi, p. 224). Hemacandra is the author of the following works : Sabdānusāsana called Siddhahemacandram. Dhātupātha ; Dhātupārāyana, Dhātumälä. Unadisutravritti Lingānusasana. Abhidhānacintamani; Namamāla, Nāmamālasesa. Anekārthasangraha; Anekārthasesa. Nighantuses& ; Sesasangraha, Sesasangrahasäroddhāra. Deśīsabdasangraha. Ekāksaranāmamālā. iii. Chandonusāsana. Kavyänušāsana with Alankäräcüdümani. Pramānamimāmgā. Balabalasutrabrihadvritti. Yogaśāstra. Dvyāśrayakävya. Salākāpuruşacarita. vii. Vibhramasutra. (?) iv. In concluding this introduction, I think I will be permitted to say a few words in explanation of the delay which has occurred in preparing this edition, as it may also partly account for some shortcomings of it. The work was entrusted to me early in May 1921 and I expected it would be ready by the end of the following year. But with eighteen hours and sometimes more of teaching work in the College and other duties attached to my position, coupled with the poor state of my health, I had very little time to spare for the work and had, therefore, to extend the time, though reluctantly, year after year. The delay was, therefore, unavoidable but in the interests of the work I wish it were longer. My best thanks are due to the authorities of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute who have been, I should say, too kind to me by deferring to my conveniences and extending the period not only for the preparation of the edition but also of the loan of the seven Mss. lent to me. • Vidyasadma' 2 P. V. RAMANUJASWAMI, 1st February 1926 P.S. I am indebted to my friend and former pupil, Pandit P. Perayya Sastri, Siromani and Tiyapravina, of the local Malarajah's English College for helping me in reading the proofs of this work. 11-11-1937. P. V.
