fad anf ae‘The book gives an exhaustive
study of “Pratyabhijna Karika of
Utpaladeva”, the basic text on
“The Doctrine of Recognition”,
which is faithfully interpreted
mostly in the light of the author's
own Vritti, so far as available,
and the Notes by the earlier
tradititional teachers, as_ given
in the printed texts from the
marginal notes found in the
manuscripts, supported by quo-
tations from the commentaries
by Abhinavagupta and Bhaskar-
charya, It is furnished with a
comprehensive __ Introduction,
prose order of the Karikas with
short comments, English trans
lation, Foot-notes, ete. Pratyabij
Karika is indeed very difficult
for a student of average under-
standing, so much so that he
does not go beyond a few
Karikas or pages of the book
The available translation by
Dr. Pandey too does not seem
to be helpful. The main object
of this work, is to clarify the
original ideas with fidelity to
the sense of the aril as
intended by the teacher
This work is published with the
financial assistance given by the
J & K Academy of Arts, Culture
‘and Languages and under the
auspices of Sharada Peetha
