{Scanned and edited by Christopher M. Weimer, May 2002. Circumflexes represent macrons in this file, and represents c with an acute marking. Also, the name Brahma (not Param Brahma) is spelled with a breve over the final a, which is not represented.} [THE text of the iksh-Patr of the modern Vaish.nava Sect, called Svmi-Nrya.na, was lithographed in Samvat 1928 (A.D. 1872) by order of the Heads of the Sect. It has a Gujart Commentary by Nitynanda-muni. So far as I know, this is the only version of the text that has yet appeared. It was given to me by the Wartl Mahrja on the occasion of my first visit to Wartl in 1875. It is full of mistakes, and in preparing the following edition of the text I have taken as my guide the far more accurate manuscript and Sansk.rit commentary written by Pa.n.dit atnanda-muni, and given to me by the Mahrja on the same occasion.] [In making the following translation I have been careful to study the Sansk.rit commentary called Artha-dpik, written for me in clear beautiful characters by Pa.n.dit atnanda-muni (one of the disciples of Svmi-Nrya.na), by order of the Wartl Mahrja, after one of the formal visits to the Wartl Temple, which were kindly arranged for me by Mr. Frederick Sheppard, C.S., late Collector of Kaira, and now Commissioner. The translation is the first ever made by any European scholar, though it is right I should mention that I have consulted a fairly accurate version (not always perfect either in its renderings or its English) written by She.th Bhogill Prnjvands, of the Bombay Education Society's Institution, Ahmedabad, and given in Mr. H. C. Briggs' work, "The Cities of Gujarsh.tra." I have also received assistance from my friend Pa.n.dit Shymaj K.rish.na-varm, of Balliol College, Oxford.] ......Buy Now (To Read More)
