Overview
Such impression was coincided in, and therefore proved correct, by a long list of local subscribers eminently qualified, by position and experience, to decide. Dr. Röer is responsible for the fidelity of the rendering, so far as depends on knowledge of the Sanscrit language and literature, of Hindu mythology and philosophy. Mr. Montriou has aided, so far as enabled by juridical acquirements and experience. The language of translation has, therefore, been a joint labour, often the result of much and anxious discussion, and, if not unfrequently but a choice of doubtful alternatives, yet, always a choice made with pains and circumspection. The text we have generally followed is Stenzler’s[2] which is based on and selected from two MSS. in the royal library at Berlin and two editions published in Calcutta.[3] We have not neglected constant comparison with Stenzler’s German translation as well as with the several detached passages as translated by Colebrooke and W. Macnaghten
