Up to the 13th Paṭala the Vidyāpāda was edited
and carried through the press under my supervision.
During my absence in consequence of the amalgamation
of the Department of Research with that of Archæology
the concluding portions of the Vidyāpāda and the
Yogapāda were similarly treated under the supervision
of Pandit R. C. Kak by Pt. J. D. Zādoo, Shastri, M. A.,
and Pt. Shiv Ram, Shastri B. A., the only retained hands
of the old Research establishment. On the sad and
lamentable death of the said Shiv Ram, Rājānaka
Maheshvara of the old Research establishment was
retaken in the Government service and since his
appointment he has been assisting in the publication
by preapring an Errata and a Concordance of the verses
of the text.
I take pleasure in recording my thanks to the above-
named Pandits with whose help I am able to publish
the present Tantram. My thanks are also due to
the Manager, Nirnaya Sagar Press, who has, for over a
score of years, been carrying out the printing of this
Department honestly and diligently.
