Note. 
The transcription of Sanskrit, Persian and Arabic words in the 
present Memoir conforms to the system approved by the International 
Oriental Congress of 1894. In the phonetic rendering of Kasmiri 
words the lines adopted by Dr. G. A. Grierson, in his analysis of Pandit 
Isvara Kaula’s Kasmiri Grammar (/. A. S. B ., 1897-98) have been 
closely followed.
