AN APPRECIATION
 
By MAHAMAHOPADHYAYA

I am grateful to Shri G. A.Natesan
for having given me an opportunity
to read and enjoy his new publication-
PRAYERS, PRAISES, AND PSALMS - in
Sanskrit with a reliable English rendering.
This attractive and handy volume contains
a comprehensive collection of charming
pieces of devotional lyrics in Sanskrit,
with a wide range of choice, from the
Vedas down to the latest Stotras. Dr. V.
Raghavan, M.A., Ph.D., who is chiefly
responsible for the compilation of these
Stotras and their English rendering,
deserves a special meed of praise for the
sound literary discernment which he has
brought to bear on his work; and I
consider it a fortunate circumstance that
he has had to do all this work for Mr.
G. A. Natesan, who has a great and just
reputation as one of the most successful
Indian Publishers of interesting and
valuable books and brochures. If is a
source of gratification to all cultured
