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 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 had leisure or insight for these large question. After all, I have been obliged to leave many passages which are obscure from some undetected corruption in the text. The inaccuracy of the Nepalese MSS. must be my plea, as I submit this editi prime of the Buddha- Carita to the criticism of Sanskrit Scholars.
