The meeting further decided to constitute & broad-based Committee of teachers, educationists and lovers of India's cultural and spiritual heritage for the purpose of giving a concrete shape to the aforesaid resolution. With this end in view. & Committee consisting of myself as Chairman and D: S. Bagobi as Gerera! Secretary was formed and contacts with scholars of India and of foreign countries were established. Within the period of three months of the preliminary meeting, a full-fledged Committee was formed and contributions were invited from the eminent luminaries of the academic world for the Volume. The request met with spontaneous response. A list of the contributors has separately been appended to this Volume. While preparing the Volume, the difficulties that confronted me seemed insuperable. But thanks to the unstinted cooperation of my colleagues on the Committee, it has been possible to bring out the Felicitation Volume in time.

Finally, I am offering my sincere thanks to the proprietors of the Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series Office for their ungrudging and unsparing help in publishing the Felicitation Volume.
