TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE
plete with italics and diacritical marks. No words of mine are adequate to express my obligation to him. Without his help, there would have been more errors than have been listed at the end. The reader is requested to rectify them before perusing the book.
It only remains for me to pray that Bhagavān Śrī Samkara and the great personages bearing His haloed Name may help me through my future lives to convert this mere faltering śāstrajñāna of Advaita into at least a semblance of a felicitous plenitude of a realised experience.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In preparing this second edition, I had the benefit of suggestions by His Holiness Swāmi Jñānananda Swamigal of Manadimangalam, Madurai District, before he attained Samadhi and I am grateful to him for the same. Prof. S. Ramaswamy, Retired Professor of English Presidency College, Madras was good enough to polish the English in many places in the book.
While this Edition was going through the press, I was afflicted by cataract of the left eye and so, many misprints might have escaped my scrutiny for which I crave the pardon of the reader.
P.S.
