multiplied figures by means of mathematical calculations was attractive. Besides these, there were several other items such as telling of exact birthdate, origin of panchdhatu, composing of prosody were equally exccllent. His Highness the Maharaja Saheb and the audience were much pleased by his performance. On the whole Mr. Shah seems to be well-versed in his art and deserves all encouragement. Dharampur

[12] ... Extremely Interesting & Admirable.
The performance of "Shatavadhan " you have given on the 26th of last month was extremely interesting to me as well as to all present. I may say that you have considerably trained to achieve such a stage. I believe the peak of the varied programme was when you repeated at the end the eight sentences in eight different European Languages, though the spelling and meaning were strange to you.
There is every reason to admire. Bombay,

[13] Extraordinary Powers Of Memory. Shatavadhani Pt. Dhirajlal Tokershi Shah gave a demonstration of his powers at Bidasar on 5th November, 1939, in the presence of a very big audience and surprised us by his extraordinary powers of memory. He could remember correctly the slokas and passages from different places and different languages given to him in different order and he reproduced them in the correct order. Western and Eastern scholars and psychologists may be very interested in his achievements and may get ample materials for research and study. Calcutta,
