A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thus the work may preliminarily serve as a concise but encyclopaedic reference book on the Paficaratra, until it shall be superseded by subsequent more exhaustive publications. The Numeral Index contains some items not found elsewhere in the book. A personal word in conclusion. The publication of this little work coincides with the severance of the connection With the A dyar Library though for wholly different reasons of both Dr. Schrader and myself. I may be permitted to express here my great satisfaction at having had the privilege of watching over the booklet on its way through the press, a last service rendered to the A dyar Library in close and pleasant co-operation with Dr. Schrader, which puts a term to a period of over seven years daily collaboration with the same aims, in the same spirit and in complete harmony, for the same object. May Dr. Schrader slast official work performed for theL ibrary enhance the renown of that I nstitution, and may it be judged to constitute a fit conclusion to his eleven years tenure of office as Director of the A dyar Library. The publication of this book also, as that of the two volumes of the text edition of A hirbudhnya Sanihita, has been greatly facilitated by the courtesy of the military censors at A hmednagar, to whom our sincere thanks are due. ADYAK, JOHAN VAN MANEN, August 1916. Assistant Director, A dyar Library.

Excerpt from Introduction to the Pāñcarātra and the Ahirbudhnya Samhita

Thus the work may preliminarily serve as a concise but encyclopædic reference book on the Pañcaratra, until it shall be superseded by subsequent more exhaustive publications. The Numeral Index contains some items not found elsewhere in the book.

A personal word in conclusion. The publication of this little work coincides with the severance of the connection with the Adyar Library - though for wholly different reasons - of both Dr. Schrader and myself. I may be permitted to express here my great satisfaction at having had the privilege of watching over the booklet on its way through the press, a last service rendered to the Adyar Library in close and pleasant co-operation with Dr. Schrader, which puts a term to a period of over seven years' daily collaboration with the same aims, in the same spirit and in complete harmony, for the same object.

May Dr. Schrader's last official work performed for the Library enhance the renown of that Institution, and may it be judged to constitute a fit conclusion to his eleven years' tenure of office as Director of the Adyar Library.

The publication of this book also, as that of the two volumes of the text edition of Ahirbudhnya Samhita, has been greatly facilitated by the courtesy of the military censors at Ahmednagar, to whom our sincere thanks are due.
