The third volume of the series, which is no. (1) of the three volumes under review contains the original text of the *Mānasāra* with (*a*) full alphabetical index and (*b*) critical notes. The original text of the treatise is so notoriously and hopelessly corrupt that credit is due to Dr. Acharya for having provided a readable text. Anachronisms and grammatical anomalies in which the text abounds are the common feature of many Sanskrit treatises on technical subjects,—such as Medicine and Astronomy-Astrology. But the text of *Mānasāra* is full of other defects as well. It must have cost the editor immense labour and not a little ingenuity to prepare a neat and readable text. The critical notes bear ample testimony to this.
