Thakur Chiddu Singh (59 mss), Shankar Lalji (104 mss). Pyare Lalji Sharma (5 mss), Amarnathji Saraswat (166 mss). Pt Shiv Dattaji who resided in the Hazari Moballa had some 500 manuscripts. He had kindly agreed to donate the entire lot but his uptimely death gave a jolt and we could get only a negligible number of manuscripts from his son Pt. Shyam Lalji. We hope he will soon take a decision for the remaining number. The Trustees of the Sridhar Sanskrit Vidyalaya, Brahmapuri, Jaipur also epriched the Alwar collection by handing over more than 500 Journals.
The list however does not end here. Other manuscript donors include Sarvashri Goverdhan Lalji, Mahavir Prasad Kulshrestha, Daulat Ram Parikh Mahesh Chandra Saraswat (donated by his widow), Durga Prasad, Nawal Kishore Sharma, Piyush Kant Vasistha, Mahabir Prasad Gupta, Sri Gunesh. Harumal Tolani and Sriman Narayan, although their manuscripts do not figure in the present volume. We greatly appreciate and acknowledge with thanks the largebeartdeness shown by the donors. The number donated matters little but the vision shown by them in preserving them at a public place deserves the fullest appreciation.
The present volume covers 5985 entries, dealing with manuscripts in Sanskrit and Prakrit upto accession no. 6295 Extracts from some selected manuscripts may help scholars in ascertaining the variety deposited here.
The spade- work was done by Shri Veni Madhav Sharma, Senior Research Assistant posted at Alwar. As he ḥad prepared in Hindi, Sh. Onkar Lal Menaria, Assistant Director, was assigned the work of rendering it into the Roman alphabets and characters, besides preparing the indicies etc. Sh. Visay Sagar, Senior Research Assistant glaneed through the classification of subject-headings and made necessary changes. As cosbarers in finalising this bulky volume they have done their respective job quite satisfactorily Dr. Deo Kumar, Surveyor took the extraets from important manuscripts. Proof- reading was done by Dr. D.B. Ksheersagar, Senior Research Assistant and Sh. Girdhar Vallabh Dadhich, Junior Technical Assistant. All deserve a word of thanks. M/s Himalaya Printers & Pankaj Printers Jodhpur remain to be thanked for printing the volume with due care and devotion. However, for errors and omissions. I seek indulgence of readers.
