tions. Any way it is a matter of great relief and satisfaction for the Editors that this long awaited part is out now. The sharing of work by the collaborators has been practically the same as in the first part. The Indices included in this part have been all prepared by Pt. Balachandaji. The presence of two Introductions, one in English and the other in Hindi, by the two Elitors needs a little explanation. Both of us, Dr. Hiralalaji and myself, mutually exchanged our notes but separately drafted our Introductions freely using each others material. Naturally there is much common between the two; still here and there slight difference in evaluating the evidence might. be felt. As we are dealing with a very important work, we have expressed ourselves independently on certain points so that the path of future studies should be quite open.
The TP is a stiff work and has consequently involved a great deal of co-operative labour on the part of the Editors, Dr. Hiralalaji, as mentioned in the first part, has immensely helped me thronghont this work: due to his readiness to help and genial. temper I never felt the burden of this work. Pt. Balachandraji was on the spot and saved much of our trouble in proof-correction especially of the Hindi matter.
The Editors record their sense of gratitude to Br. Jivarajaji, the founder of the Mala, and sincerly thank the Trustees and the Members of the Prabandha Samiti for their co-operation in completing this volume. The publication of an authentic text is only the first step towards the study of any work; and we hope, many scholars will get themselves interested in TP in view of its rich dogmatical and enltural material.
