and is indescribable. This philosophical doctrine is very abstruse and recondite. To understand its truth thoroughly presupposes a considerable knowledge of philosophy. The philosophers teaching this doctrine have written voluminous works to explain and expound its truth and subtlities.' If this method of thinking is adopted in looking at the various religious tenets and philosophical creeds prevailing in India, which appear to be mutually conflicting occasioning considerable differences of opinions, a perceptible change towards their reconciliation might occur.
Lala Kannoomal M. A. has briefly explained the subtlities and merits of this pluralistic doctrine called Saptbhangi Naya in this book. Though briefly but very lucidly, he has explained the main principles of this doctrine, and it is hoped that the lover of philosophical truth would derive benefit from it.
