XXVIII
of Hamburg, Hamburg (W. Germany), to have contributed a Foreword to this volume for which both the General Editor and myself are very thankful to him. As the work lingered on for many years, now and then some of my post-graduate students helped me in checking the collations; and I should specially mention the name of Prof. M. S. Ranadive, Satara. My friend, the late lamented Dr. V. S. Agrawala contributed a Cultural Note on the Kuvalayamālā with his usual academic zeal. What pains me most is that he did not live to see the note printed. Muni Shri Punyavijayaji has been helpful and keenly interested in my studies all along. He read the whole of the Kuvalayamälä, along with his younger colleagues, and made a number of suggestions on the readings; and most of them are included by me in the Notes. I am so grateful to him. I also record my sincere thanks to the Manager, Nirnaya Sagar Press, Bombay, and to the Manager, Sharada Press, Mangalore, but for whose cooperation I would not have been able to present this volume in the present form.
KUVALAYAMALA
The Singhi Jain Series has carved a name for itself in the records of Sanskrit and Prakrit publications. My thanks are due to Shri Rajendra Singh Singhi and the late Shri Narendra Singh Singhi who have been very keenly interested in the publication of the Kuvalayamālā. What pains me is that Shri Narendra Singhiji did not live to see in print this Second Part.
Lastly, I would be failing in my duty, if I did not record my sincere gratitude to the University Grants Commission, New Delhi, for having so graciously made me the Grant intended for Retired Teachers. It is this timely aid that has enabled me, even after retirement from service, to pursue my researches in my specialised branches of Indology with the peace of mind all such work needs.
