M. Barua but for whose very erudite elucidation and interpretation of Asokan epigraphs many of these pages could not have been written, to Dr. B. C. Law for his kindness extended generously to all my literary and academic undertakings, to Prof. Shahid Suhrawardy and Prof. Stella Kramrisch who patiently sat with me whilst I read out long extracts to them from my manuscript, to the Archæological Survey of India for having kindly permitted me to reproduce the photographs in their possession, to the University of Calcutta for kindly allowing me the privilege of reading out the larger part of the book as my first course of Bagisvari Lectures on Indian Art, and to my young friends Mr. Sudhirranjan Das and Mr. Sukeshchandra Chandra for occasional help in preparing the Ms. for the press, reading the proofs, and preparing the Index. - [Previous: c3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c3.3) - [Next: c3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c3.5) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.ray-1945.c3.4) · Pramāṇa
