edition too has been consulted. At the end of each main section, the Kumbakonam edition gives the subject of that section. But in this edition the text is printed continuously without indicating such divisions. The m'ain division noted in the translation has beeh introduced only for the sake of the notes. The points dealt with in the main divisions are given in the contents, both in Sanskrit and in English.
The additional notes at the end deal with certain specific points in the text, as distinct from the running comm~ntary included in the main notes. They were first given as foot-notes. But I transferred them to the end since I felt that foot-notes coming after the text and the translation at the bottom of the page may affect the general appearance of the printed pages. Since the text and the translation have been divided into very small sections there will be no difficulty in identifying the passage to which these additional notes refer.
I prepared the index at the end of the book. It contains nearly all important words in the text. For nouns, I have not grouped the words separately for different declensional forms. But the verbs are given in their full grammatical forl1l. Sometimes in compound words, only some members are given. It is hoped that this index will enable the readers to find out a section very. easily. It will also be of, help to find out the translation of a particula) word or techinical term.
This volume in the Adyar Library Series will be a companion volume to the edition of the Vedanta~ paribhB~a recently issued ~om the Library as No. 34.
