PREFACE.
The present Edition of the Bhāminīvilāsa (I and 1V)
is meant primarily to meet the needs of students
appearing for the F. Y. A. Examination in the year 1936.
For the purposes of the text of this Edition, the Nirnaya
Sagar Press Edition, the Calcutta Edition, and Mr. Ayyer's
Edition have been consulted. It is hoped that the
Introduction and the Notes will adequately meet the
requirements of the F. Y. A. students, and lead them to an
appreciation of the poetry of Jagannātha Pandit.
I have to thank my teacher and colleague, Prof.
K. M. Shembaynekar, M. A., for the assistance which he
has so readily given in the preparation of this Edition.
Finally, thanks are due, and they are readily offered, to
the Management of the Bombay Vaibhava Press for the
general neatness of printing.
St. Xavier's College,
