xx Annual Address. [February, 1920. 
mises to publish a number of Buddhist — works, the 
Sanskrit originals of which were up to this time considered as 
lost but which the editors of this Series wate unearthed from 
the ancient Jaina Bhandaras (or libraries) which are so numer- 
ous in the Gaekwad’s State and its neighbourhood. 
The Kashmir Series has already published numerous works 
of the Kashmir Saiva Schools, and is likely to achieve brilliant 
success under the young and enthusiastic scholar, Pandit Madhu 
Siidan Kaul Sastri, M.A., M.O.L., who received his initiation in 
Calcutta 
The Varendra Research Society's Series have already pub- 
lished some excellent works on Grammar of the Paninian School 
by Buddhist authors and it holds out very great promise 
The Kumbakonam Series, a commercial enterprise, “have 
already published the southern recensions of Ramayana an 
Mahabharata and numerous works of the Madhva or Vedantic 
Vaisnavism. 
The Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series under the distinguished 
guidance of the veteran Pandita VindyeSvari Prasad Dube is 
publishing a large number of rare Sanskrit So in which 
Benares may be considered as the richest of mines. 
Twenty years before this it was hard to otk a Jaina work 
even on loan. But a change has come over the spirit of Jaina 
scholarship, and the Jaina Pandits are coming forward with 
series of their own publications 
The old Bombay Sanskrit Series is tar its useful 
career with vigour and enthusiasm, and is k 5 : up the reputa- 
Kielhorn, Peterson and others. Its notes are always useful to 
professors and students of colleges and schools, and its prefaces 
display the deep and wide scholarship of their editors. Great 
care is taken in finding bai the real reading and making the 
editions free from mistake 
I should be wanting in soy alty to my own Society, if I did 
not speak of the publications in the Bibliotheca Indica. The 
series is not only ec up its old reputation but showing 
signs of renewed vigour. As a Bengal Society it has now 
works. It has commenced to publish all the sub-commentaries 
of the great Nyaya work, Tattva-Cintamani. The sub-com- 
mentaries belong mostly to the 16th and 17th centuries of the 
Christian Era. It is also publishing Uriya and Maithil Smrti 
works of the same period. It has done much in the way of pub- 
lishing original Buddhist works in Sanskrit. It has published, 
for instance, Saundarananda, a twin-sister of Buddha Carita of 
A&vaghosa. It has published the ChatuhSatika by Aryadeva 
with its commentary by Candra Kirtti, the text belonging to 
the 2nd and the commentary to the 5th century A.D. The 
six Nyaya Tracts published in the series all belong from 8th
