    Preface
    "There is nothing pure like knowledge here." - [`r+mad Bhagavad Git,
    ch-4-38 ab]. I found Prof. Esther Solomon as a personification of these words
    of the Git. It is very difficult for me to find suitable words to write about Prof.
    Solomon's scholarship. Her works, namely, Indian Dialectics', 'Avidyã-A
    problem of Truth and Reality, 'Särmkhyavtti", 'Smkhyasaptativrtti', The
    commentaries of the Särhkhyakrik-a study' offer a testimony of her sharp
    acumen, deep maturity and strong grip on the subjects that she has dealt with.
    Before her demise in June 2005, Prof. Solomon had completed translating
    Jayarä[i Bhata's Tattopaplavasirmha' using the Sanskrit text edited by Pandita
    Sukhalälajt and ZI Rasikläla Parikh published by G.O.S. in 1940. She had also
    consulted Eli Franco's revised text.
    It gives me immense pleasure to have the responsibility of final editing
    and introducing this last monumental work of Prof. Solomon on
    Tattvopaplavsimha', a rare piece of work on Indian Skepticism, her
    unforgettable contribution. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on this project
    and have benefited from putting together this valuable translation of this rare
    gem of Indian Philosophy's pluralistic richness.
    I would like to thank Sri Aviv Divekar, the nephew of late Prof. Solomon,
    who gave me all the assistance and encouraged to prepare this manuscipt for
    publication. At the same time I want to thank the scholars, whose books I have
    consulted. n particular, I have benefited from the Sanskrit edition of Pandita
    Sukhalälaj! and [ri Rasikläla Parikh, and from the thesis of Prof. Eli Franco
    Leipzig University, Austria]. It must be noted that Prof Solomon has
    mentioned about the different text, particularly the one, reedited by Eli Franco.
    At the same time I would like to thank Prof. R. Raj. Singh [Brock University,
    Canada), Prof Kazuyuki Funatsus [Shinshu university, Japan], and Prof. Vijay
    Pandya [Retd. Prof. Gujarat University, Ahmedabad]) for encouraging me
    throughout my endeavor.
