DESCRIPTION
The Buddha Carita will tell us little new about Buddhism and its history, but it is full of information for those who are interested in the history of Sanskrit Literature and I am sure that other and younger eyes than mine will bring many points of interest to the light which I have failed to see, as I was too much engrossed with minute varieties of reading and difficulties of interpretation to have always has leisure or insight for these larger questions. After all I have been obliged to leave many passages which are obscure from some detected corruption in the text. The inaccuracy of the Nepalese MSS must be my plea, as I submit this edition prima of the Buddha carita to the Criticism of Sanskrit Scholars.
