Ocean of Music, Volume 1

The Director of the Adyar Library and the General Editor of the Library Series has all along been taking a keen interest in this publication. There is no detail in which his advice has not been sought, and he was always ready with his help. Mr. Ramachandra Sarma, who is on the staff of the Library, was working under the direction of Pandit Subrahmanya Sastri in preparing the edition. The index at the end has been prepared by him. All the credit for the printing and general appearance goes to the Vasanta Press, which always keeps up the high standard in all aspects of publication. I express my very sincere gratitude to all of them who are directly connected with me in my work. I must also thank the authorities of the Manuscripts Library in Bikaner and the Oriental Institute, Baroda, for supplying the Library with the transcripts of the commentary of Simhabhūpāla A 14th-century king and scholar known for his influential commentary on the Sangita Ratnakara, a foundational text on Indian music and dance..
