: : It is hoped that this Samketa of Someśvara will be appreciated by scholars as an interesting and illuminating work on Sanskrit Poetics,
It is a pleasant duty to acknowledge the help and assistance received from scholar-friends, First and foremost is the Generel Editor of the Series-Acharya Muni Shri Jinavijayaji, who asked me to prepare, for the Rajasthān Purātattva Granthamala, a critical edition of the Kavyādarśa-Kāvyaprakāśa-Samketa which was carefully copied under his personal supervision by Pandit Keshavram Kashiram Shastri. Prof. Dr. Priyabālā Shah my former student and now colleague has rendered me assistance in a number of ways, particularly in the preparation of appendixes containing the various readings of K. P. and K. P.S. and helping me in tracing quotations in the K. P.S. to their original sources. For this labour of love my thanks are due to her.
I acknowledge with thanks the assistance received from Pandit K. K. Shastri, whose carefully prepared press-copy was of so much use to me. He also considerably helped me in indicating some paralleisms from the Samketa of Māņikyacandra as well as proof-reading. I also thank Vyakarana-Kavya Tirtha Mrs. Vasumati Shah, assistant to the Curator of the Manuscripts Department of Gujarat Vidya Sabha, who copied for me various indexes.
