It is regrettable that the language in which this important work has been found is very defective and faulty and has been termed ‘barbarous Sanskrit’ by authorities like Dr. Bühler and Dr. Sir Ram Krishna Bhandarkar. It is all the more creditable for Professor Acharya to have taken pains and construed the text correctly. In the appendix the learned author has given us some idea of the defective language by collecting together the irregularities.
