it is now proposed that the older prose work should be edited in 
its stead. 
Professor Wilson’s “ Hindu Sects” was mainly based on the present 
Digvijaya, and the Sarvadars'ana Sangraha of Madhavacharya which 
was published in No. 63 and 142 of the Bibliotheca Indica, and 
European scholars have frequently asked for an edition of Anantan- 
andagiri’s work. It contains the legendary history of Sankara Acharya 
and his times, and amidst much that is misstated and untrust worth v„ 
throws great light on the state of the Hindu mind at that period 
and the philosophical ideas then prevalent. 
The work will occupy not more than three Fasciculi. 
They also recommend that Mr. Cowell’s offer be accepted to edit the 
Maitri or Maitrayani Upanishad with Bamatirtha’s commentary, and 
an English translation. It will occupy about two Fasciculi. 
Hr. Weber in 1855 (Indische Studien, vol. 3, p. 480) remarked 
that the Society had published editions of all the more important 
Upanislrads, with the exception of the Kaushitaki, Maitrayani and 
Yashkaia. At the beginning of this year we published an edition of the 
first; the present proposal takes up the second. Of the third we 
have very slender hopes, as though its translation is given in D’an- 
quetil clu Perron, no traces of the Sanscrit original have as yet been 
discovered and the name does not occur in the very full Telugu list 
of Upanishads furnished by W. Elliott, Esq., and published in our 
journal for 1851.
