They have not been encumbered with notes, on the assumption that the reader can find all the explanation that may be required in Dr. Conze's book considerable attention has been given to the problem of ensuring uniformity in the rendering of technical terms. A glossary provides at list o the main terms, with their Sanskrit equivalents.
