________________ 254 REVIEWS and "The Text of the Dik and Kala-Samuddesas of the Vakyapadiya and its Commentary" (pp. 42-45). "Induduta of Vinaya Vijayagani -- a Textual Study" (pp. 46-56) contains suggestions for the emendation of this little known work. "The Story of Udayana and Vasavadatta through the Ages" (pp. 57-69) compares various versions of the tale. "Poetry in the Vamana Purana" (pp. 70-81) draws our attention to the literary merits of some passages of this text. Lengthier and more important is "A Critical Survey of Sanskrit Dutakavyas" (pp. 82-138). This gives an account of the contents of over fifty duta poems in Sanskrit from Kalidasa's prototype to modern productions of a satirical character. "The Anyoktis of the Vasistha Ramayana" (pp. 139-148) draws attention to some pleasant examples of this figure of speech in the poem, giving text and translation. The longest of the essays "Conception of Time in Post-Vedic Sanskrit Literature" consists of a rapid survey of the treatment of Kala in a wide range of texts from the Smstis to the works of the Sampradayas of later Vedanta. Students intending to embark on a deeper study of the subject may find this paper useful. The last two essays of the book, "Conception of Space (Dik) in the Vakyapadiya" (pp. 205-215) and "Conception of Daiva and Purusakara in the Valmiki and the Vasistha Ramayanas" (pp. 216-236), are interesting surveys on the subjects. While the book contains little evidence of startling originality or very profound research, the essays are the work of a sensitive scholar with a wide range of interests and deep feeling for Sanskrit literature. Dr. Satyavrat's English prose, though occasionally unidiomatic, is generally readable and clear. Despite the unfortunate omission of a diacritic in the name of the author on the title page, transliteration is fairly accurate, It is unfortunate that a book which ranges so widely in the fields of Sanskrit literature, religion and philosophy should contain no index.

The Kleine Schriften contain all his articles with the exception of his editions of inscriptions, of which only those which are important for the history of Indian literature have been selected. Moreover, this collection reprints his Katyayana and Patanjali (Bombay, 1876), the introduction to the Report on the Search for Sanskrit manuscripts in the Bombay Presidency during the year 1880-81 (Bombay, 1881), the Tafeln zur Berechnung der Jupiterjahre nach den Regeln des Surya-Siddhanta und des Jyotistattva (Gottingen, 1889) and the Bruchstucke indischer Schauspiele in Inschriften zu Ajmere (Berlin, 1901). The first volume contains a systematic bibliography which simultaneously serves as table of contents (pp. VII-XXIII). Kielhorn was mainly interested in the study of Indian grammarians, epigraphy, chronology and manuscripts. All these subjects are of a highly technical nature. His works, written in a severe style, do not make easy reading and they must be studied carefully. His publications fulfil the most exacting standards of scholarship.
