An Introduction to the Popular Religion and Folklore of Northern India
Asoka Text and Glossary
The text and glossary are intended to provide the student of philology with a convenient handbook of Early Prakrit. The historian will find in this the ready means of checking various translations, sometimes misleading, of these important Indian documents of the third century B.C. The student of epigraphy must go to the Rocks and Pillars, or at least to estampages, photographs and plates-but in difficulties of interpretation he can find here for every Asokan form, as read up-to-date, all the passages where it occurs, or similar forms occur, with references to most at least of the literature on disputed forms.

The Life of Hiuen-Tsiang
Centuries before biography became a business, before the peccadilloes of Royal mistresses and forgotten courtesans obtained a ''market value,'' the writing of the Master's life by some cherished disciple was both an act of love and piety in the far East. The very footprints of the famous dead became Luminous, and their shadows shone in dark caves that once withheld them from the world.
