To the former I am also indebted for his attention to the
transliteration of a large number of Sanskrit words, and also for the
whole-hearted sympathy and great friendliness with which he assisted me
with his advice on many points of detail, in particular the exposition
of the Buddhist doctrine of the cause of rebirth owes something of its
treatment to repeated discussions with him.
I also wish to express my gratefulness to my friend Mr N.K. Siddhanta,
M.A., late of the Scottish Churches College, and Mademoiselle Paule Povie
for the kind assistance they have rendered in preparing the index. My
obligations are also due to the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press
for the honour they have done me in publishing this work.
To scholars of Indian philosophy who may do me the honour of reading my
book and who may be impressed with its inevitable

shortcomings and defects, I can only pray in the words of Hemacandra:
Prama@nasiddhantaviruddham atra
Yatkinciduktam matimandyado@sat
Matsaryyam utsaryya tadaryyacitta@h
Prasadam adhaya vis'odhayantu.
