v7.c48.4

¹ The most arbitrary abbreviations of the names of the Taluqs, approximately 100 in the 12 volumes, have not been followed, first because it seems impossible, at least for me, to read, from his abbreviation, Cn., Channarayapattana (in the Introduction, and the table of contents, but indifferently spelt ‘Channarayapatna’ in the title at the top of each page), from Mj., Manjarabad, etc. (*see* Introduction, Vol. v, part I, p. 1); secondly, 100 such abbreviations will be too tedious for any patient reader to remember. These names have, therefore, been written hundreds of times in full.

v7.c48.5

Again there are as many as 12 kinds of paging sometimes in each part of each volume. Compare, for instance, Vol. iii, ‘Contents’ after one folio of the fly-leaf, one of the names of the Taluqs, and one of a plate:

v7.c48.6

(1) Preface (page number is not given).

v7.c48.7

(2) List of illustrations (page number is not given).

| (4) List of the Inscriptions classified in chronological order .. | I-ix |

| (12) Index to Introduction .. .. .. | 1-11 |

v7.c48.11

v7.c48.12

This is not a solitary instance; compare also Vol. v, part I, which bears nine kinds of paging exclusive of the fly-leaf, names of Taluqs, and a plate; Vol. vii has ten kinds of paging.

v7.c48.13

There is yet another difficulty, perhaps the most irritating one, of consulting and referring to this extensive work comprising approximately 12,000 pages. Many of the readers for whose service this encyclopaedia is made are not expected to be familiar with the various South Indian scripts. It is for this reason, and also for sparing readers the trouble of confusing pagings, that I have referred to the Roman text only. But neither the Roman text nor the translation, even of the largest inscriptions covering sometimes 10 pages of 40 lines to a page (*cf.* Vol. v, part I, pp. 362, 364, 530, etc.), has been numbered by verses, lines, or paragraphs. Consequently, no one convenient method could be followed in referring to a particular passage in the Roman text and in the corresponding translation. I might have counted from the beginning of the inscription the lines in both the places (which I have actually done in referring to the smaller inscriptions), but that would not save trouble to readers, as they would themselves be required to count, say, 400 lines twice, once in the text and secondly in the translation. In such cases my references to a particular passage has been given thus: *Ep. Carnat.*, Vol. v, part I,—Channaraga-pattana Taluq no. . . . , Roman text or Translation, p. . . . , line . . . (of that particular page, and not from the beginning of the inscription), sometimes from the bottom upwards, stated distinctly in so many words (e.g. line 2 from bottom upwards, instead of saying line 43, i.e. from the top downwards); occasionally it appeared more convenient to say p. 43, para. 7, line 9, instead of counting all the lines from the top or bottom of the page.

v7.c48.14

v7.c48.15

¹ In the earlier volumes of this series, pages are divided, not invariably however, into two columns, which are abbreviated thus : *Ind. Ant.*, Vol. v (preceded by the name of the article or the inscription), p. 320, C. 1 or 2 (=column 1st or 2nd), para. 1 or 2 (where there is more than one), line, say, 7 (of the para., when it is followed by any, or simply lines to be counted from the top ; in cases where it appeared more convenient, it is stated thus : line 7 from bottom upwards). In the earlier volumes the footnotes are not marked by the numerical figures, 1, 2, 3 and so forth ; they are indicated by some inconvenient signs, e.g. \*, †, ‡, etc. It was not possible to refer to these notes by any particular name. Some of the inscriptions published in this series have been given three different titles in three places of reference, namely, one in the table of contents, a different one as the heading of the inscription in the body of the volume, and a third one on the top of the pages wherein it is described. Compare, for example, the following :
(1) ‘Two Praśastis of Nānāka, a court poet of Viśāladeva of Gujarata’ (*Ind. Ant.*, Vol. xi, contents, at the end of the volume).
(2) ‘Sanskrit Grants and Inscriptions of Gujrat Kings, nos. iii and iv, Praśastis of Nānāka, a court poet of King Viśāladeva of Gujrat’ (in the heading of the article, p. 98).
(3) Sanskrit Grants and Inscriptions (on the top of pages 99, 101, 103, 105, 107). I have generally referred to the last-named title, i.e. the one occurring on the top of the pages.
