DHĒRTĀKHYANA:
My most sincere thanks I offer to Achārya Jinavijayaji, the learned Editor of the Dhūrtākhyāna in Prakrit, Sanskrit and Gujarati, who kindly requested me to associate myself with his edition by contributing a critical Essay. I had realized the importance of this work a couple of years back, and I gladly welcomed this opportunity of studying the Dhūrtākhyāna which is a remarkable satire in Indian literature. My thanks are also due to Dr. R. N. Dandekar, Poona; Dr. S. K. De, Dacca; Dr. A. M. Ghatage, Kolhapur; and Mr. K. D. Pednekar, M.A., Kolhapur, who helped me with some books, references and suggestions,
