In
I take this opportunity to perform the pleasant
duty of thanks giving. I owe a tremendous debt to my
guiding teacher Shri G. H. Bhatt Head of the Ramayana
Department, Oriental Institute, Baroda, for his able and
competent guidance and extremely valuable suggestions.
spite of heavy pressure of work he has taken keen interest
in my work with his critical observations and guidance in
minutest details from time to time with great care and
profound depth, taking care not only in the advancement of
knowledge of the subject on hand but also in the furtherance
of many good habits regarding scholarship in general and
character and maturity in particular. He has also helped
me in his personal capacity by lending me rare books even
from his personal Library. I owe to him more than I can
express..
