will try to add these also as a supplement. The
value of the edition has been generally increased
by the addition of Bhagiratha alias Megha Thakkura's
sub-commentary Jalada and Bachha Jha's notes.
Bhagiratha Thakkura was an elder brother of Mahesha
Thakkura, Raja of Mithila, who was himself a Naiyayika
of high order. He lived by the end of the 15th
and the beginning of the 16th century. Ruchidatta
also lived about the same time. Both were disting-
uished pupils of the great Pakshadhara Misra.
It may be pointed out that besides Varadaraja and
Vardhamana, Gunananda Vidyavagisa, probably of the
16th century, wrote also a commentary on the complete
text of Nyaya Kusumanjali which was held in great
repute in those days. It is to be hoped that in the
next edition of this great work the publishers will
try to reclaim from oblivion this useful commentary
which will facilitate the study of Udayana. The
Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series anthorities have been
rendering a valuable sevice to Sanskrit scholarship
by publishing regularly rare Sanskrit works for the
last sixty years or more. It is hoped that they
will continue this noble work with great zeal and
help forward rapidly the cause of Sanskrit Culture.
