and that even the most insignificant labourer in the field of such
an endeavour deserves to be looked upon as a useful worker.
Although the editing of the Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha has been to me a
labour of love and duty, it has often been felt to be heavy and taxing;
and I, therefore, consider that I am specially bound to acknowledge
with gratitude the help which I have received in relation to it. In
the early stage, when conning and collating and interpreting the
manuscripts was the chief work to be done, Mr. M. B. Varadaraja
Aiyangar, B. A., B. L., who is an Advocate of the Chief Court at
Bangalore, co-operated with me and gave me an amount of aid for
which I now offer him my thanks. Mr. K. Krishnaswami Aiyangar,
B. A.; of the Madras Christian College, has also rendered consider-
able assistance in this manner; and to him also I offer my thanks.
Latterly I have had to consult on a few occasions Mr. P. V. Seshu
Aiyar, B. A., L. T., Professor of Mathematical Physics in the Presidency
College here, in trying to explain the rationale of some of the rules
given in the work; and I am much obliged to him for his ready
willingness in allowing me thus to take advantage of his expert
knowledge of mathematics. My thanks are, I have to say in
conclusion, very particularly due to Mr. P. Varadacharya, B. A.,
Librarian of the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library at Madras,
but for whose zealous and steady co-operation with me throughout
and careful and continued attention to details, it would indeed
have been much harder for me to bring out this edition of the
Gaṇit-sāra-saṅgraha.
