334 puranam - PURANA [Vol. XI, No. 2 SCHOLARS WHO VISITED THE PURANA DEPARTMENT 1. Maharaja-Kumar Dr. Raghubir Singh, Sitamau, Our Trustee.-4. 1. 69. 2. Dr. W. Norman Brown, Professor Emeritus of Sanskrit, University of Pennsylvania.-16. 1. 69. He has remarked in our Visitors' Book as follows-"The work Hindi of editing the texts of the Puranas, with English and translations, is one of the important project in the study of India's tradition. The volume of work involved in collecting, selecting and collating manuscripts is enormous, but is only a beginning. The judgment required to unraval the relationship of the manuscripts, the fine discrimination needed to determine the correct readings, and now, as in the case of the works being edited here, the mastery of other languages than the original essential to the making of the translations, all call for a rare combination of abilities. Indic scholarship in general is being put under a heavy-and pleasant-obligation by the scholars who have planned and are executing this important labour." 3.
