c21.1

The references are to the pages. Each page is for this purpose divided into four equal parts, denoted respectively by the letters *a b c d*.

The arrangement follows the English alphabet: but in the case of Sanskrit words the special symbols used are arranged, in relation to the nearest English symbols, in the order of the Sanskrit alphabet. Thus the whole alphabet employed in this index is as follows: a ā b c d ḍ e ē f g ḡ h ḥ i ī j k l ḷ m ṁ ṃ n ṅ ñ ṇ n o ō p q r ṛ ṣ ś ṭ t u ū v w x y z.
