4. It was a noble act on the part of the Raja Saheb of Aundh to have contributed to the publication of this volume. Shrimant Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi, B.A., knows the value of such a work more than almost any other Prince. The powerful support which he gave to the work of the Academy has enabled it to endure so long, while his final gift to the Academy, and through it to the Library of Indian Philosophy and Religion, has been the endowment for this volume. Leading a life of absolute self-abnegation, with every pie of his hard-earned money devoted to sublime causes, with a rare interest in works of Art of which his Acropolitan Museum at Aundh will remain a standing example for generations to come, with the princely donations which he has given to the cause of Indian Literature, History and Culture, with a rare love for his subjects and their constitutional welfare, Shrimant Raja Saheb of Aundh stands out as a prominent personality among the Princes, the sum total of whose achievements within the gamut of his finance is hard to achieve by any other Prince similarly situated. I am sure that Shrimant Balasaheb has laid the philosophic world under very deep obligation by his gift for the publication of this volume.
