Bibliographical Notes are inserted as required, and a comprehensive Index has been prepared. It has not appeared desirable to cumber the text with diacritical marks, but long vowels are marked where necessary as a guide to pronunciation. Consonants may be pronounced as in English. Short \*a\* with stress is pronounced like \*u\* in \*but\*, e. g. \*Chandra\* is pronounced \*Chundră\*; the short \*a\* without stress being an indistinct vowel like the \*A\* in \*America\*. Other vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian; e. g. \*Mīr\* is pronounced \*Meer\*, and \*Yūsuf\* is pronounced \*Yoosuf\*. \*E\* and \*o\* are long, whether marked or not. \*Au\* is pronounced \*ow\*, as in \*Kanauj\* = \*Kănowj\*. - [Previous: c3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c3.3) - [Next: c3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c3.5) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c3.4) · Pramāṇa
