THE HINDUSTHAN REVIEW.—It is learned and luminous and is a scientific treatise based on the results of research into the records and materials of ancient Indian history, of which it is a sound and an accurate digest, interestingly put together. It is about the best text-book of the subject it deals with.
c13.33
Some opinions on the earlier editions and on Part I:—
c13.34
DR. L. D. BARNETT, LONDON.—The author treats his materials with a certain degree of originality, but at the same time he preserves throughout a well-balanced judgment and never sacrifices critical caution to the passion for novel theories.........This interesting book......shews judgment, ingenuity, and learning. And not the least of the author's merits is that he can write plain English.
c13.35
PROFESSOR HULTZSCH, HALLE, GERMANY.—Your valuable work......is the outcome of extensive researches and throws much light on the darkest and most debated periods of Indian history. You have succeeded in building up an intelligible account from the stray and imperfect materials which are available to the historian of those times.
c13.36
PROFESSOR JOLLY, WURZBURG, GERMANY.—Many thanks for your splendid volume.........What an enormous mass of evidence has been collected and discussed in this work, an important feature of which is the quotation of the original texts along with their translation which makes it easy to control the conclusions arrived at. The ancient geography, not less than the ancient history of India, has been greatly furthered by your researches and much new light has been thrown on some of the most vexed problems of Indian Archaeology and Chronology. The indices are very copious and the study of your work is greatly facilitated by them.
c13.37
PROFESSOR PELLIOT, PARIS.—Le nom de l'auteur est garant du serieux du travail.
c13.38
PROFESSOR JARL CHARPENTIER, UPSALA, SWEDEN.—Professor Ray Chaudhuri belongs to a set of young Hindu scholars who, combining the traditional education of a Pandit with a thorough training in English, German or French Universities, have lately been carrying on deep and fruitful researches in the various domains of Indian lore...... Even the student, who on essential points does differ widely from the opinions expressed by Professor Ray Chaudhuri, must willingly recognize his high merits as a scholar.
c13.39
PROFESSOR A. SCHEPOTIEFF, UFA, RUSSIA.—For our study of the history of the Ancient Age your Political History of Ancient India is of very great importance (trans. from original).
c13.40
C. E. A. W. OLDHAM (J. R. A. S.)—Part I of Professor Ray Chaudhuri's work deals with the period from Parikṣit to Bimbisāra. The author seeks to show, as he tells us in his preface, "that chronological relation of the national transactions before 600 B.C. is not impossible." He has laid under contribution the usual authorities, the Vedic, Puranic, Buddhist, and Jaina texts—though he does not appear to place much reliance upon the last-named (cf. pp. 6 and 72). A vast mass of records has been collated, and the evidence marshalled in a very concise and able, and in some respects original, manner. The apposite quotations from the original texts are useful. Professor Ray Chaudhuri regards Parikṣit I and Parikṣit II, as they are named by the late Mr. Pargiter in his Ancient Indian Historical Tradition, as being probably one and the same king, and as identifiable with the Vedic Parikṣit. By "the great Janaka" he refers to the Janaka of the later Vedic texts, whose court is said to have been thronged with Brāhmaṇas, and not to the traditional first king Janaka, the eponymous founder of the Janakavaṃśa, or to Janaka Siradhvaja, the reputed father of Sītā, Synchronizing Guṇākhya Sāṅkhāyana with Āśvalāyuna and the Buddha, he inclines, it seems, to place Parikṣit in the ninth, and the "great Janaka" in the seventh century B.C. though he wisely avoids coming to any positive conclusion as to these debatable dates, and points out that if the evidence of the Purāṇas were accepted we would have to place them some five centuries earlier. If it could be established that Parikṣit came into power at the beginning of the ninth century, or the end of the tenth, this would help to corroborate the approximate chronology suggested by Mr. Pargiter, having regard also to the synchronism between Senapati Bārhadratha and Adhisimakṛṣṇa. But until more convincing evidence is discovered most scholars will probably agree in the verdict of Vincent Smith that nothing approaching exact chronology is yet available for periods anterior to about 650 B.C.
c13.41
Much of the matter in Part II will perhaps be familiar to students of Indian history; but it has been arranged in a fresh and scholarly manner, while several important suggestions have been made on different questions. One or two of these may be cited as examples. On pp. 72-3 reasons are set forth for accepting the Ceylon tradition that Śiśunāga was later than Bimbisāra. The view recorded by Mahāmahopādhyāya (sic) H. P. Śāstri that the ultimate dismemberment of the Mauryan empire was due to a reaction promoted by the Brāhmaṇas, is vigorously controverted. Whatever other causes may have operated, and Professor Ray Chaudhuri undoubtedly lays his finger on more than one such, Brahmanical influences cannot be ignored. The arguments used for holding that Demetrius,¹ rather than Menander, was the Yavana invader of the Madhyadeśa in the time of Puṣyamitra, and that Simuka, the founder of the Sātavāhana dynasty, must be placed in the first century B.C, deserve careful consideration.
c13.42
¹ For the latest reading of the Hāthigumphā inscription reference t the Yavana king, see JBORS. XIII, 229
c13.43
Since Hoernle made his well-known suggestion as to the identity of Devagupta, mentioned in two inscriptions of Harṣavardhana, several writers have attempted to frame the history of the later Guptas of Eastern Mālava and Bihār and the Maukharis of Kanauj. The period presents many difficulties, which are not likely to be solved until some further evidence reveals itself. Having regard to the conditions of the times and the bitter enmity of the Maukharis, who were then very powerful, it seems unlikely that the Susthitavarman mentioned in the Aphsaḍ (sic) inscription of Ādityasena as having been defeated by Mahāsenagupta of E. Mālava, could have been the king of Kāmarūpa, as the author states. Fleet's suggestion that he was the Maukhari king of that name,¹ whom we know to have been contemporaneous with Mahāsenagupta, seems more probable.
c13.44
¹ No Maukhari king of that name is known [H.C.R.C.].
c13.45
Not the least valuable part of the contents of this volume are the numerous comments on the geographical information supplied in the records quoted; and it is a matter of regret that of the five maps entered in the table of Contents (p. xvi), only one, viz., that of " Bhāratavarsha " appears in the volume before us. As regards this map we are not told what specific period, if any, it refers to. In any case, the positions assigned to the Niṣādas, S. Kosala, Kāmboja, and the Rikṣa mountains seem to call for some explanation. On the other hand, the geographical information given in the text is extensive, and often suggestive, and it indicates that much attention has been devoted to this important auxiliary to ancient Indian historical research. The indexes, both bibliographical and general, have been very well prepared.
c13.46
Professor A. Berriedale Keith, Edinburgh.—I have read through the work and find it to contain much that is valuable. The author has arrived at clearly cut opinions on many of the chief difficulties in the history of early India; he has formulated them effectively, and as a result, even when they do not commend themselves as final solutions, they will serve to promote the discussion and to facilitate further fruitful research. He observes a due sense of proportion and is well read in the literature. The work accordingly may justly be deemed a most valuable contribution to the subject-matter of which it treats.
c13.47
Professor Wilh Geiger, Munchen-Neubiberg, Germany.—I highly appreciate Mr. Ray Chaudhuri's work as a most happy combination of sound scientific method and enormous knowledge of both Brahmanical and non-Brahmanical literature. The work is written in lucid style inspite of its intricate subject and affords a mass of valuable evidence, throwing much light on the whole period of Indian History dealt in it. I see with special pleasure and satisfaction that we now are enabled by the author's penetrating researches to start in Indian chronology from the 9th instead of the 6th or 5th century B.C.
c13.48
K. P. JAYASWAL, PATNA.—I am very thankful to you (Raychaudhuri) for your valuable book. I am glad that you devote your attention to Hindu geography as well.
c13.49
PROFESSOR JACKSON, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK.—I can see the scholarly research which you have put into the volume, and am glad to have such a work for future reference in my historical studies.
c13.50
PROFESSOR LOUIS DE LA VALLEE POUSSIN, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM.—I believe that the book is well designed and has the twofold merit of collecting a vast amount (and in some chapters, an exhaustive one) of references, and of giving a clear and reasonable *exposé* of the main line of this history. I agree with the author on several controverted points of chronology.

MRS. C. A. F. RHYS DAVIDS.—Dr. Chaudhuri has made debtors of us all.

PROFESSOR STEN KONOW, NORWAY.—The book is a very useful contribution.
c13.55
SITARAM KOHLI, LAHORE.—I have immensely liked your book "Political History of Ancient India."
c13.56
C. S. SRINIVASACHARI, SOUTH INDIA.—Our author rightly holds the balance between the views of Pargiter which would give excessive value to Kshatriya tradition whose date allowed of manipulation to serve dynastic ends and the value of Vedic tradition whose two strong points are its priority of date and freedom from textual corruption.
c13.57
W. CHARLES DE SILVA, COLOMBO.—I have the greatest pleasure to express my high appreciation of your very valuable and learned article (Part I of the Political History).
c13.58
PROFESSOR E. WASHBURN HOPKINS.—It is a fine augury for Indian scholarship when native scholars of the first rank take seriously in hand the great problem of untangling the web of Indian history. To this work your book is a valuable contribution.
c13.59
Professor H. Jacobi, Bonn.—Very suggestive and contains some important details.
c13.60
Professor F. Otto Schrader.—I have read the book with increasing interest and do not hesitate to say that it contains a great many details which will be found useful by later historians. The portion I enjoyed most is that on the sixteen Mahājanapadas.

OPINIONS AND REVIEWS
c13.66
Professor E. Washburn Hopkins, Yale University, America.—Your book has given me great satisfaction.... I am particularly pleased to see an incisive study of this kind in the realm of religious history.........Believe me, in the hope of further contributions of this character from your able pen.........
c13.67
Professor A. Berriedale Keith, Edinburgh University.—While I do not concur in your view as to the original character of Kṛṣṇa, I recognise the care with which you have investigated the issue, and value highly the elaborate collation of the evidence which your work contains, and which will render it of much service to all students of this doubtless insoluble problem.—The stress laid on the epigraphic evidence and the full use made of it is of special value, while in many details your opinions are of interest and value, as in the case of the date of Pāṇini.........
c13.68
Sir George Grierson.—Very interesting and informing.........The book is full of matter which is of great importance for the history of religion in India and will form a valued addition to my collection of books on the subject...
c13.69
F. E. Pargiter, Oxford.—I agree with you in discarding various theories, but I don't think Kṛṣṇa Devakī- putra is the famous Kṛṣṇa, and it seems to me your exposition can stand just as well without the identification as with it. Your book will help to elucidate the whole matter, but are you sure that the cult does not owe something to Christianity?
c13.70
PROFESSOR F. OTTO SCHRADER, KIEL, GERMANY.—I perfectly agree with your opinion that the Chāndogya passage on Kṛṣṇa Devakīputra and his teaching is to be considered as the first historical record of Bhāgavatism. There were, of course, many Kṛṣṇas, but to conjecture that more than one was also a Devakīputra, is to my mind an unscientific boldness which is the less justifiable as the teachings mentioned in that passage, as you show, perfectly agree with those, e.g., of the Bhagavad-gītā and Ṛk. quoted with the famous तद्विष्णो परमं पदं । ........
c13.71
PROFESSOR GARBE, TUBINGEN, GERMANY.—I have read your book with the greatest interest and perfectly agree with you in the main points, as to the personality of Kṛṣṇa and the development of Bhāgavatism......... You have brought together much important material and elucidated the dark early history of Bhāgavatism as far as possible.
c13.72
THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, MAY 12, 1921.—The lectures of Mr. Hemchandra Ray Chaudhuri on the early history of the Vaishnava Sect read almost as would a Bampton lecture on the "Historical Christ" to a Christian audience. They are an attempt to disentangle the authentic figure of Krishna from the mass of Puranic legend and gross tradition, from the wild conjectures and mistaken, if reasoned, theories which surround his name. The worship of Krishna is not a superstitious idolatry; it is the expression of the Bhakti, the devotional faith of an intellectual people, and many missionaries, ill-equipped for dealing with a dimly understood creed would do well to study this little volume.........

JOURNAL ASIATIQUE, JANUARY-MARCH, 1923, PARIS.—Dans le domaine historique, signalons un travail plein de merite de M. Hemchandra Ray Chaudhuri. Materials for the Study of the Early History of the Vaishnava Sect. (Dr. Jules Bloch of Paris.)
c13.74
DR. JULES BLOCH, PARIS.—My Guru, Sylvain Lévi, who has come back from his travels, told me also of his esteem for that book.
c13.75
JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN.—The scope of this small book is rightly expressed in its title. The author who is Lecturer in History in the Calcutta University, has collected and discussed statements, references, and allusions from the early literature to throw light on the position and life of Kṛṣṇa and the growth of Bhāgavatism. He deals with the various theories that have been put forward, and with good reasons discredits the views that Kṛṣṇa Vāsudeva was a solar deity or a tribal god or a vegetation deity. He is right in treating Kṛṣṇa Vāsudeva as one person, the Vṛṣṇi chief, but he unnecessarily identifies him with Kṛṣṇa Devakīputra, the scholar mentioned in the Chāndogya Upanishad . . . . . (F. E. Pargiter).
c13.76
THE BOMBAY CHRONICLE, JUNE 19, 1921.—In this small book of a hundred and seventeen pages, Mr. Hemchandra Ray Chaudhuri of the Calcutta University has collected much valuable material from which he has succeeded in tracing the origin and growth of the Vaishnava creed. The Historicity of Srikrishna—or as the author calls him, Krishna Vāsudeva, is also handled with remarkable clearness . . . . .
c13.77
A. GOVINDACHARYA SVAMIN.—I pay you a most deserved compliment upon your acquaintance with the Azhvars and Srī Vaishnavism of Southern India as evidenced in your learned book the Early History of the Vaishnava Sect.
c13.78
R. SHAMASASTRY, MYSORE.—You are a specialist in Vaishnavism.

PROFESSOR E. J. RAPSON, CAMBRIDGE.—Dr. Raychaudhuri’s essays on Indian History and Antiquities are always well-informed, thoughtful and suggestive.
c13.83
E. J. THOMAS (J. R. A. S., OCTOBER, 1933, p. 925).—The study which Dr. Raychaudhuri has already devoted to ancient Indian history is well known. In the present book he discusses some of the geographical problems which still face the historians, as well as Vedic, epic, and specially historical questions......He has shown that Indian historical scholarship is proceeding on sound lines of its own and achieving independent results.

Opinions on some of the Papers incorporated in the Volume.
c13.85
DR. BARNETT.—They are very interesting and critically sound.
c13.86
DR. KEITH.—They are all very interesting, and I am glad to note the very useful information elicited as to Bhoja.
c13.87
PROFESSOR DR. STEN KONOW, KRISTIANIA, NORWAY.—They are written in a thoroughly scholarlike way, and more especially it seems to me that your paper about the Laksmana Sena era deserves very careful attention.
c13.88
PROFESSOR H. JACOBI.—The verification of the Bhāgavata credo in the Besnagar inscription is a find on which you may be congratulated.
c13.89
PROFESSOR SCHRADER, KIEL, GERMANY.—*The Antiquity of the Rig Veda* is a sober and useful little piece of research work with which, on the whole, I fully agree. If we follow Jacobi and Tilak we create a gap (which we cannot bridge over) between the Mantras and the Brāhmanas, for the latter are certainly not far removed from early Buddhism. On the other hand, if Hertel were right, the Rg Veda would immediately precede Buddhism, and there would be no room at all for Brāhmanas and Upanisads.
c13.90
Your important paper on the inter-relation of the two epics: The opinion held by Macdonell, Winternitz, and others, *viz.*, that the heroes of the Mahābhārata are unknown to the Rāmāyana, seems, indeed, to be untenable... Again, I find it difficult, as you do, to distinguish between a Pāndava story and a Kuru-Bhārata Epic.
c13.91
PROFESSOR JARL CHARPENTIER.—The identification of some words in this very important document (the Besnagar Inscription) with a passage in the Mahābhārata seems to be a most happy find.
c13.92
PROFESSOR E. WASHBURN HOPKINS.—It is certainly a remarkable resemblance which you have established and I should be inclined to agree with your conclusion
