History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c57.10

v4.c57.10

All that now remains is the pleasant duty of acknowledging my obligations to others. Bloomfield's Vedic Concordance, the Vedic Index of Professors Macdonell and Keith and several volumes of the Sacred Books of the East have been very useful in preparing this volume as in the case of the preceding one. I wish to mention specially the debt I owe to the late Mahāmahopādhyāya Kamalakṛṣṇa Smṛtitīrtha for his editorial work on twelve volumes on the different branches of dharmaśāstra, which have been of great use to me in writing all the volumes of my History viz. Hāralatā, Vivādaratnākara, Gṛhastharatnākara, Kṛtyaratnākara, Tīrthacintāmaṇi, Varṣakriyākaumudī, Dānakriyākaumudī, Śrāddhakriyākaumudī, Śuddhikaumudī, Daṇḍaviveka, Rājadharmakaustubha and Agastyasaṁhitā. I am highly obliged to Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Kevalānanda Sarasvatī of Wai for frequent help and guidance in solving some intricate problems of Dharmaśāstra, to Prof. N. A. Gore, M. A. of Poona for help in the careful correction of proofs, to Tarkatīrtha Raghunāthaśāstrī Kokje of Lonavla and Mr. N. G. Chapekar, B. A., LL. B. (retired F. C. Sub-judge), of Badlapur for reading through the whole volume and suggesting some additions and corrections.
