In 1913 was published a Sanskrit article in fafècumfor ( सं १९६९ श्रावण and the following two numbers) on "महाकविमेंण्ठः " This was followed by a work of first-rate importance namely the edition, in the Gaekwad's Oriental Series (No. 3), of the classical work of तर्कसंग्रह of आनन्दज्ञान alias आनन्दगिरि, as he is more popularly known.
