PREFACE
The Ashtavakra Samhita was first published
month by month in the Prabuddha Bharata from
January, 1929 to December, 1931. It has since been
slightly revised and is now published in book form
with an Index. Previous to this two editions of
this work with the text in Canarese script and the
English rendering only of the present translator was
brought out from the palace of the Maharaja of
Mysore. We are deeply indebted to Mr. V.
Subramanya Iyer, B.A., ex-Registrar of the Mysore
University, for his keen interest in the present work
and for going through the whole of it and making
valuable suggestions for its improvement. Our
profound gratitude is also due to Dr. Satkari
Mookerjee, M.A., Ph.D., Lecturer in Sanskrit,
Philosophy and Pali in the Calcutta University, for
thoroughly revising the previous Introduction. It is
hoped that the book will
prove useful to the
interested readers in acquainting them with the
cardinal principles of Advaita Vedanta.
