The original manuscript of the Hindi translation was lost during its typing. The typed script available to us was full of errors both in the Sanskrit text and Hindi translation. Besides this, translation of many of the verses were found missing. I have put in my sincere effort to the painstaking work of correcting and completing the Sanskrit text as well as Hindi translation.
We are thankful to Dr. Rima Hooja, an established scholar of archaeology with many published works to her credit besides her teaching assignments at Kota University and various other prestigious institutions, for taking this assignment and doing full justice to it. Her sincere efforts in making the book more useful is reflected in the pain she took to send a photographer to Kumbhalgarh to get required photographs at sites associated with Sutradhar Mandan. We treasure association with such creative. scholars. Our thanks to Shri Rajesh Agarwal of Compu Prints for taking pains to typeset this complicated text; and Popular Printers for finally giving it the book form.
. We hope our readers, specially the scholars of this subject and practising sculptors will find this work immensely useful.
