N. B.-A Calcutta Professor, in publishing the translation of a chapter of this work, said that there was no English translation of it. Luzac's Oriental List and Book Review for October-December 1920, in noticing that publication wrote,

"The Professor is mistaken in saying that there exists no English translation of the Kaumudi, in view of the excellent one by Mr. Sris Chandra Vasu..." (The italics are ours).

N.B. That renowned Sanskrit Scholar the Hon'ble Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. Ganganath Jha, M.A., D.Litt., M.SC., &c. in noticing one of the publications of the Panini office said :

"It is this craze for a translation that should not be a paraphrase that has deprived most of our translations of their usefulness. It is a patent fact, that if you make your translation literal however much it very may prove your knowledge of the text, it conveys practically no idea of the subject-matter to one who does not know the original. The real purpose of the translation lies in making the subject matter comprehended by one who is unable to read the original." Then he quoted with approval what Mr. R. Y. Tyrell wrote in the Academy of March 3, 1906.

original......hence paraphrase, expansion, compren even to some slight extent, omission and interpolation are sometimes requisite to give a more real and faith impression of a great original than could be obta from literal reproduction of the very words, clause b clause and line by line."

It was in the above spirit that the Siddhanta Kauma was translated for the first time into English Tx utility of this translation has not only been acknow ledged by some of the best known Professors and Scholars of Sanskrit all over the world, but Univers students have found it so useful that for the last fiftee years they have greatly patronized it notwithstandin it being "bulky and costly," because with th translation, the aid of a Pandit is not required. Th well-known Tibetan Scholar and traveller, the late Ra Bahadur Sarat Chandra Das, c. I. E., in his "Mererandum on the Training of Pandits and Moulvi submitted to the Conference of Orientalists held Simla in July 1911 under the presidency of Sir Har court Butler, said:

"The translation of the Siddhanta Kaumudi annotations has been done in such a manner that eve a tyro in Sanskrit can understand it without the help any Pandit.

of

"I suggest that the......above-mentioned work be translated into Bengalee and Hindi to enable os Sanskrit Students at tols and pathsalas to learn an understand Panini's grammar in a shorter space of time than they do at present."

The Hon'ble Justice Sir Asutosh Mookerjee Kt. C. S. 1. writes in the Foreword :-"I have read with great interest the monograph on Kastriya Claus in Buddhist India prepared by Mr. Bimala Charan Law, a distinguished graduate of our University, who has already given promise of solid work as a research student............A picture of society in Buddhistic times can consequently be visualised, only after a systematic account has been drawn up from scattered references in a vast historical, philosophical and socio-religious literature. From this point of view, the undertaking of Mr. Law is of special importance. He has not contented himself with an outline of the political history of those times, but has treated as well of manners and customs, of religion and philosophy and of the judicial and administrative machinery....

(retd) :-"I have not yet had time to read it all, but I have found the account of the Licchavis very interesting and instructive.............

In his present work, he has earefully colleceed every available information from various sources...... Mr. Law deserves our special thanks for presenting us for the first time a connected account of these clans which played an important part in the political history of India in very early times...... very little to add to what Mr. Law has sald about these clans......scholarly and accurate work.

Dr. H. S. Gour M. A., D. CL, LL D, M. L. A. Bar-at-law writes:-.. ......I have read with great interest. It is a work evincing great erudition and the materials collected to form a connected history of these clans must have entailed enormous labour in research. I congratulate you upon its result.
