Transcriber's Note

Apparent typographical errors have been corrected, and the use of hyphens has been normalized. Text in black-letter font has been bolded.

The author does not identify the transliteration scheme(s) used for Indian words in the text. Macrons (as in "ā") are used extensively and there is some use of the "diacritic dot" (as in "ṇ").
