At that time, as the reader of either of these announcements will see, I sketched the plan of a three-fold apparatus designed to facilitate and deepen the study of the Vedas: one part of it was a universal word-index to the Vedas; another was an index of subjects and ideas; and the third, which I promised to undertake myself, was a Vedic Concordance. As commonly happens in such cases, the fulfilment of the last-named part of the plan cost much more time and labor than was expected. With correspondingly greater satisfaction I now present the result to those of the Hindu people who look upon the Vedas as their sacred books, and to all scholars in this field of Indian antiquities. That result is, an alphabetic index to every line (or \*pāda\*) of every stanza (or \*ṛc\*) of the published Vedic literature and to every liturgical formula thereof (\*yajus\*, \*prāiṣa\*, and so on), that is, an Index to the Vedic Mantras. - [Previous: c3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c3.5) - [Next: c4.s1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c4.s1.2) - [Up: c4.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c4.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c4.s1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.bloomfield-1906.c4.s1.1) · Pramāṇa
