Finally, I should like to say that Alda Oertly corrected and polished Zimmer’s English when he was preparing his manuscript. He was the more conscious of the difficulties of writing in a foreign language since in his native tongue his thought and his style were perfectly matched. Once Mrs. Oertly had started working with him, he felt at ease, and he told me repeatedly how grateful he was to her for her understanding devotion to the task which she had agreed to undertake. It is in his stead that I now wish to thank her, and I add my own thanks for her assistance. I am also indebted to Professor Paul E. Dumont for his generous cooperation. He kindly went over the galleys and made sure that no errors had crept into the Sanskrit terminology.
