to the relevant passages from these texts has been made by us in the form of footnotes. In the case of Buddhism, similar reference has been made to a few passages from the Abhidhammathasangahoma standard philosophical manual of Theravāda Buddhism-; but this does not amount to claiming that it is this text that has been used by Gandhi. [The lectures on Nyāya and Vedānta are practically free from such references.] Lastly, there are a few independent footnotes of ours which seek either to elucidate or to complete or to criticize a remark made by Gandhi; (these are not footnotes given by Gandhi himself).
Following Gandhi's practice, no diacritical marks have been used in the Roman version of Indian proper names. However, since the technical terms of Indian philosophy, when written in Roman without diacritical marks, are likely to be misunderstood they have been given in Devanāgarī ; (this too is in most cases a practice also of Gandhi--who however uses for the purpose the Gujarāti script rather than Devanāgarī).
