The Essence of Tantra

It is generally correct and abounds in marginal notes. It has been made the principle basis in preparation of this edition.

At the same time it is a great pleasure to me to say that among the Pandits of this Department, Rājanaka a title of honor for Kashmiri Pandits Maheshvara, who assisted me in going through the proofs, has my thanks.

Last though not least, I gratefully acknowledge the promptitude and efficacy with which the Proprietor, Nirnaya-Sāgar Press, Bombay, carried this work through the Press.

But it is the Kashmir Durbar to whose liberal policy in matters of research into ancient Sanskrit Literature every credit is due in bringing out the literary books of this Department.
