In presenting the English Translation of Brihat Jataka, to the Educated public of the world, Imai e no appeal for their indul- gence. This ts a monumental work, where the difficulties in translating a beautiful technical and suggestive work in Sansknt had to be surmounted by hard la- bour, préfoune research, want of adequate expressions in a poor dnd ndnconstructive language like the English by the selection of the most comprehensive expres- sions and by a laborious mental analyses, which would have a ten- dency to miniraise the linguistic “incongruities sv difficult to recun- cule. How far | have sacceeded in my attempts to simplify the tech nicalitiés by my notes is a matter for decision by the succceding generations. ~~ ~ Tgamp Latracachas ko the Bing lish translation of Sarwartha Chin- tamani I have plainly referred to these difficulties and doubts and would refer the reader to that work for greater explanations, The priceless commentaries of BHUT- TOTPHALA in Sanskrit on Brihat Jataka, have been fully utilised by JATAKA me in the course of my work and * if lam to express my sense of gra- titude to anybody I have to do so to him. Most of the English works on astrology are sorry perform- ancesand no reliance can be plac- edupon them. “If Varalia Mibirais tobe respected as the author of Brihat Jataka, his matchless com-- mentator deserves even greater credit for the splendid way in which he has not oniy made clear many of the obscure passages “but also for the valuable quotations he has given so copiously and so apt- ly inthe course of his work. Envy and meanness are the index of lower mindsand appreciation and generosity are the indications of, a nobler psychic development. I shall close this preface with a simple request to ny readers that ” when they read through my notes they can never complain of wast- ing their time. Their intellects will be sharpened andtheir knowledge J will be expanded. ,B. Suryanarain Rows 1 : HUNSAMARANAHALLI, | Yelehanka P, O. Mysore Province, f J INDIA
