1 edition of Ca71d0cclayag62if( with commentary are preserved in the magniffcent manuscripts collection of the Oriental Research Institute and Mss. Library of the Kerala University. I am grateful to the authorities of the Library for making available to me the said manuscripts for use in this edition. A sad interest, however, relates to this publication, in that Shri N. Rama Sastri, Senior Pandit in the Library, wh0 copied the main manuscript for me, is no more. To Prof. T.S. Kuppamma Sastry, lately of the Presidency College, Madras, I am highly obliged for the help rendered towards the translation of the work. The W. V. R. 1. Press deserves to be complimented for the efficient and prompt printing of the work in spite of its heavy and pressing work schedule. W.W.B.I.S. & I.S., Panjab University, May 4, 1976 K.V. SARMA
