Excerpt from The Tarkasangraha of Annam Bhatta In' publishing this work, the chief object the Editor has in view is to supply a want which has long been felt by the students of 'sanskrit connected with Bombay University - of an edition of the tarkasangraha, embodying not only a correct text with the Dipika or gloss usually accompanying it, but also a close, _faithful, and faultless, translation of the original. That this want is most peculiarly felt in these days when the N yaya Philosophy is intro duced among the subjects prescribed for higher University Exami nations, is most clearly shown by the fact, that College students are one and all dissatisfied with the only edition of the Tarka sangraba which is at present procurable. This edition is printed at Calcutta and appears to have been based on one published at Allaha bad in 1849 for the use of the students of Benares College. Both these editions, indeed, contain a correct text but the versions which they give of the text are so carelessly executed, that they are for the most part inaccurate and faulty, and, what is more, even misleading. They throw little or no light on such portions of the book as are obscure, whilst they attempt at illustration, where illustration is not required. They are, therefore, useless and unsafe guides to follow. Hence arises the necessity for a better edition of the Tarkasangraha, free from the blemishes which blot the editions of Calcutta and Allahabad.
