§44. We now proceed to render a survey of the canonical works and some more closely related to the Siddhānta. In some respect our survey has to be elastic in that not all details of the contents can be given. The general praise of the mendicant’s life, for instance, could be, in many cases, omitted as being evident. On the other hand, care has been taken to enable the reader to find out subjects that should interest him, especially since it was impossible to incorporate all details into the description contained in chapters IV to VII.
