Author Description

Excerpt from Asiatic Papers, Vol. 3: Mostly Papers Read Before the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society of the Royal Asiatic Society I took my degree in the Bombay University on 16th January 1877, when the then Governor, Sir Philip Wodehouse, was the chancellor of the University and I was nominated a fellow Of the University in 1887. I have served my Alma M Liter continuously for these last 40 years. Thus, this is the Jubilee year Of my Graduation and the quarantine year Of my Fellowship of the University. So, I take this happy opportunity to do myself the honour and pleasure Of dedicating this, my humble work, to my mother University. This University and the Literary and Scientific Societies Of Bombay, among which my dear Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society Of Bombay is the foremost, have made me what I am. I bow my head of homage and gratitude to them for all the mental nourishment that they have given me. May they all prosper, is my heartfelt prayer.
