षोडश ग्रन्थाः (महाप्रभु वल्लभाचार्य - पुष्टिमार्ग सिद्धान्त एवं सान्वय हिन्दी व्याख्या)

EDITORS' NOTE. I. Giridharaji's is the 9th. It was obtained with considerable difficulty from Kankroli through Chhannulālaji of Bombay. The tīkā is in the collection of the Saraswati Bhandar of S'rī Dwarkadhis'aji. J. The 10th is Lalubhatta's. It is based on three very good and old MSS. One dated 1800 st. Bhadra. sud. 12th, second dated 1876 st. Ashadha vad., third, written by one Vishnudāsa. K. The 11th is nameless. This was obtained from Ranchhodlalji. Nine out of these commentators are Vallabhacharya's direct agnate descendants. Their acquaintance is already made in our previous publications. The other two are also descendants of Vallabhacharya from daughters and they are known as Bhattas or Lalajis. We express our thanks to the Goswami Balakas, and learned gentlemen, and Pandit Gattulalaji's institution, for the loan of the above-mentioned MSS., but for whose kind cooperation we could not have collected so many tīkās. To our knowledge no tīkā of Siddhanta Rahasya remains to be printed now. We hope that learned Vaishnavas will study these and spread the noblest teachings of S'rī Vallabha among Vaishnava masses. With feelings of joy, we offer this fruit of our labour of love at the Lotus-Feet of Lord S'rī Krishna. Bombay, ⎬ M. T. Telivala. 29th April 1924. ⎭ D. V. Sankalia.
