"Annapurna is a bunch of flowers that bloomed in the course of quarter century of research with a fragrance of Indian thought on different branches of knowledge like nourishment, medicine, ecology, psychology, chemistry, petrology and like, spreading the aroma of Indian culture to the length and breadth of the world. The articles reflect the strength, vitality and vigour of Indian culture as known even in the times of hoary antiquity. Annapurna is a valuable contribution to Indological studies." (jacket)
