Administration and Social Life under Vijayanagar c3.3

c3.3

Professor K. A. Nilakanta Sastri under whom I worked in the Department gave me immense help and advice in the gathering of materials for and the writing of the book. Besides, while revising the manuscript and going through proofs as Editor, he offered me many valuable suggestions for all of which I am very much beholden to him. Dr. N. Venkataramanayya, Reader in Indian History and Archæology, revised the manuscript and helped me with useful criticisms for which I am extremely grateful to him. My thanks are also due to Dr. V. Raghavan of the Sanskrit Department who went through a part of the manuscript and offered me some helpful suggestions.
