In connection with the present essay I wish to tender my affectionate
thanks to my faithful collaborator, my sister, and to my friend, Kalidas
Nag, whose deep knowledge and indefatigable kindness have guided my
steps through the forest of Indian thought.
I also wish to thank the publisher, S. Ganesan of Madras, for having
placed, spontaneously, his publications at my disposal.
