The LPP edition (1999) which has been scanned for this ebook, is of poorquality, and in some cases text was missing. Where possible, themissing/unclear text has been supplied from another edition, which hasthe same typographical basis (both editions are photographical reprintsof the same source, or perhaps one is a copy of the other): BharatiyaPublishing House, Delhi 1978.

A third edition, Parimal Publications, Delhi 1998, which is based on anOCR scanning of the same typographical basis, has also been consulted ina few cases.

The term “Gloss.” or “Glossary” probably refers to the extensiveclassical commentary to Yoga Vásishtha by Ananda Bodhendra Saraswati(only available in Sanskrit).
