sariraka of Sarvajnatmamuni, a writer who is said by Mr. K. B. Pathak (in his excellent pamphlet on Bhartrihari and Kumarila) to have been a pupil of Suresvara. From the latter work Ramatirtha gives us nine extracts, invariably ushered in with the words "तदुक्तमभियुक्तैः"
Another feature of this edition is its division into convenient section. In this I have generally followed by manuscript D, but have redivided some of its sections and reduced the whole number from 40 to 38.
In the Notes occasional reference will be found to a work styled Rational Refutation. Its full title is A Rational Refutation of the Hindu Philosophical Systems, and it is a translation, by Dr. Fitzedward Hall, of a work in Hindi by the learned Nilakantha Sastri Gore, (now a Missionary in Poona), published in Calcutta in 1862. It is an admirable summary of the chief tenets of the six Indian schools. The references to my Manual of Hindu Pantheism are to the third edition published in Trubner's Oriental Series in 1891. Some portions of it have now to be modified in view of the discovery which I have since made of the source of the line "ब्रह्मवित्त्वं तथा मुक्त्वा स आत्मज्ञो न चेतरः," in regard to which see the notes to a page 67 of the present volume. The Vachaspatyam, so often quoted from, is the fine Lexicon compiled, under the patronage of Government by the late Pandit Taranath Tarkavachaspati, a scholar of great repute in Bengal. The work consists of 5422 quarto pages; but whilst 4174 are devoted to the letters--अ--न, the rest of the alphabet is only allowed 1268. Yet, according to all analogy, the latter portion should at least have equalled the former ; and it is therefore , as might be expected, decidedly inferior to it. In some instances, notably in that of म, the work is little better than a mere vocabulary. It is especially strong in philosophy, and in the literature of the Puranas and Tantras; but the treatment of the verbs is altogether unworthy of a work of such magnitude. Its
