In 1942, Dr. V.S. Under the auspices of University of Bombay, Sukthankar was contracted to give four lectures on the “Meaning of Mahabharata”. The sad and sudden death of Sukthankar on the morning set for the lecture meant that the fourth and final lecture could not be delivered. For fifteen years, the Manuscript (Ms.), containing these lectures, a treasure that scholars have long lost, was not available to the public. It bore the title “Four Lectures about the Meaning of Mahabharata.” This lengthy title, which was quite heavy-looking, has been reduced to a shorter title in this publication: “On the Meanings of the Mahabharata.” Many sentences and paragraphs were placed in square brackets in pencil. This bracketed material was retained in this book’s body. Second, you may occasionally find an alternative word or phrase written in the margin with a pencil and an underscoring the relevant word or words within the text. It is recommended to keep the text of your script intact, and not add any marginal alternatives. One exception is Dr. Sukthankar’s penmanship of almost every para in the third lecture. The pencil-script is included in the book’s body. This page is reproduced in facsimile as the frontispiece. An Appendix provides an English translation of the German quote from OLDENBERG for the convenience and ease of the reader. Index I Sanskrit quotes are printed in Devanagari to aid those who don’t know the transliteration.
