FOREWARD
I am very happy to bring out the second edition of this book. The author, late Ven. Dr. Dhadant Ananda Kausalyayan Mahathera wrote this book in Hindi during his stay at Vidyalankara University Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. From 1959 to 1968 he was the Head of the Department of Hindi in above University.
First Hindi edition was published by Ven. Gose Lama of Sarnath about 25 years back. Now its fifth edition is out of print.
The author himself prepared this English version. In 1980 it was published first time.
Buddha Bhoomi Prakashan has privilege to publish the second edition of this book. The credit goes to Mr. Kashinath Meshram and Madam Vimat Ale of SOS Children’s Village, Nagpur, for this edition. It was possible to bring out this edition because of their effort. I should not forget to thank Mr. Vidnyaneshwar S. Banhatti of Shrinivas Mudranalaya Nagpur. He has done all the works in time.
I do not want to write anything about this book. The name of this book tells everything about it.
I hope the intelligents readers will get the answers for their questions.
