General Editors' Foreword
The importance of the Dohās and the Caryās of the Siddhas of the late Buddhist tradition has been recognized since the first publication by Hara Prasad Shastri in 1917. Since then numerous scholars have studied their various aspects. The present publication, focussing on the Linguistic restoration will, it is hoped, make for viewing the Siddhas as highly ranking and pioncer spiritual poets of the Apabhramśa literature.
