PREFACE.
Tub
present
work
title
is
the
first
of
a
series
of
Oriental
publications,
which,
as
the
intimates,
will
be
printed
under
the
patronage
of
the
Hon.
Court
of
Directors
and
the
superintendence
of
the
Asiatic
8ocietj.
It
is
to
appear
in
the
form
of
a
Journal,
in
monthly
numbers
of

100
pages.

to
be
accompanied
with
an

and
if
taken
from
Sanscrit
literature,
with
of
this
collection
;
commen-
tary
also.
The
works
may
be
of
any
Oriental
lan-
guage,
provided
they
relate
to
India
the
greater
part,
however,
will
be
taken
from
the
Sanscrit,
partly
because
the
literature
of
that
language
in
all
its
branches
possesses
a
number
of
valuable
works,
not
yet
pub-
is
lished,
and
partly
because
the
Sanscrit
more
intimately
connected
with
India
than
any
other
Oriental
language.
The
idea
of
this
publication
is
due
to
my
friend,
Mr.
Laidlay,
to
whose

Before
entering
upon
an
account
of
this
edition
of
the
collection
of
the

I
have
to
premise a few
words
explaining

my
readers
who
are

Society,
the
reason
why
it
is
to
remain
a
fragment.
Requested
by
the
Asiatic
Society
to
obtain
the
suggestions
of
the
Oriental
Section
with
regard
to
the
immediate
adoption
of
measures
to
publish
the
Vidas,
I
submitted
to
the
Oriental
Section,
the
30th
March
1817,
a
Report,
proposing
the
publication
of
the
SanhiU
of
the
Rig
Vida
with
its
commentary
and
a
translation
of
the
text.
The
Society
approved
of

proposition,

of
