AbstractThe manuscript of this book was brought from Nepal by Mr. Cecil Bendall, and edited by him for the Russian Bibliotheca Buddhica (St. Petersburg, 1897). When Mr. Bendall returned to Cambridge as Teacher of Sanskrit, he began a translation of it, in which Mr. E. B. Cowell, then Professor of Sanskrit, seems to have helped, since a part of the MS. was in his handwriting. This portion, which was delivered to me as complete, proved to be in need of revision ; indeed, a good deal of it has been re-written. On the death of Mr. Cowell, when Mr. Bendall succeeded him as Professor, I began to work with him upon the translation, and continued the work until his death. The part we did together was chapters III, IV, V, and part of VI, pp. 44-125 of the Sanskrit text.

On his deathbed, Mr. Bendall asked me to finish the work, and I undertook the task as a sacred duty, although I was well aware of my own insufficiency for the task unaided. Indeed, for me unaided it would have been impossible ; but I have had the most generous and ungrudging aid of the chief living autho- rity on Buddhism, Buddhist Sanskrit, and Tibetan Mr. L. de la Vallee Poussin, Professor of Sanskrit at Brussels. During his residence in Cambridge, from 1914 to 1918, M. de la Vallee has revised every passage in which I felt a difficulty. The acknowledgment which I make here to him is quite inadequate to express my gratitude for his kindness. If the work meet with the approval of scholars, the credit is his : any errors that remain will be mine. We have to thank Mr. F. W. Thomas, Librarian of the India Office, for the loan of the Tibetan translation of this work.
