Foreword
The third issue of the trilingual research Journal of this Centre—the Nirgrantha-is offered as a commemorative number to the reputed linguist and Indologist, late Prof. Harivallabh C. Bhayani. Prof. Bhayani's studies, research interests, and consequent contributions, however, transcend the boundaries of linguistic, literary, and Nirgranthist studies and as such, in this issue, are also included a few articles by scholars working in other cognate Indological disciplines. We are indeed grateful to the contributing scholars for their learned contributions appearing in this Journal.
Fine response given the previous two issues by the academics has encouraged us to continue supporting this Journal, ably edited and looked after by Prof. M. A. Dhaky and Dr. Jitendra Shah. The Management of this Centre wishes to thank them as well as the Centre's members of the staff, involved on the production side for their untiring efforts in bringing it out as a volume of an acceptably good standard and qualitative level.
