Having not much to do, I appeared for the LL. M. examination in Hindu and Mahomedan law in 1912 and passed it. From 1911 to about 1918 I brought out every year some book or books such as the Kādambarī of Bāṇa in three parts with ample notes, the Harṣacarita in two parts, and the Uttararāmacarita. I also conducted a private law class for coaching students for the High Court Vakil's examination (in which 60 percent marks were required for passing). This brought in a steady income of about Rs. 100 per month for four years from 1913 to 1917 and, what was more important, this task of teaching single-handed the vast field of law made me proficient in all complicated legal topics. In the meantime, in 1913 I was appointed Wilson Philological Lecturer to deliver six lectures on Sanskrit, Prakrit and allied languages for a lump sum of Rs. 750. In 1913 I became an ordinary member of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society and a life member (by paying a lump sum of Rs 500) in January 1915 At the beginning of 1915 I was appointed by the Bombay University a Springer Research Scholar for two years on a salary of Rs 100 per month, the subject of research being 'Ancient Geography of Mahārāṣṭra' (part published in JBBRAS, Vol XXIV for 1917, pp 613-657). In 1916 I worked as Honorary Professor of Sanskrit at the Wilson College, when Prof. S R Bhandarkar, who was permanent Professor, fell ill, and I lectured for three hours a week to B A. classes on the most difficult part of Rāmānuja's Bhāṣya on Vedāntasūtra - [Previous: v7.c97.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c97.3.7) - [Next: v7.c97.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c97.5) - [Up: v7.c97](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c97) ## Cites (3) - [Harṣacarita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.aryavarta.harsacarita) — Bāṇabhaṭṭa, Sanskrit - [Uttararāmacarita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.rama.prasiddha.uttararamacarita) — Bhavabhūti, Sanskrit - [Kādambarī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.novels.prasiddha.kadambari) — Bāṇabhaṭṭa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c97.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c97.4) · Pramāṇa
