Originally it was my intention to insert it in my \*Indian Epigraphy\* as an Appendix to the Chapter on ‘Technical Expressions’. But, as my collection of the material progressed, I felt that it would be rather too big for an Appendix. At the same time, I also realised that it was not possible for a single man to collect all interesting words and expressions from all published epigraphic records in the various Indian languages in a short period of time. But I was eager to do as much as it was possible for me in the limited time I could devote to the work, and the result of the attempt is this nucleus now placed in the hands of readers interested in inscriptions. I am fully conscious of my own limitations as well as of the possibility of errors of judgment and of omission and commission creeping into the work. There may be cases wherein I have been misled by earlier writers, or accepted their doubtful suggestion as correct, or misunderstood them. It is hoped, nevertheless, that the work may be of some help to the students and to the future compiler of a fuller Glossary of this type. - [Previous: c2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c2.7) - [Next: c3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c3.2) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c3.1) · Pramāṇa
