We are profoundly indebted to
Thiru. N. Mahalingam, B.Sc, M.I.E., leading industrialist
and well-known savant of Tamil for his gift to this Library of a
handwritten copy of
Ilakkanavilakkam, which along with a very old printed edition, long
since out of print, has
been the main basis of this publication.
We are thankful to our learned Librarian Professor V. Gopala
Iyengar, M.A., for his
general supervision of the editorial and printing work and to
Messrs. Vetrivel Press for their
neat execution of the printing.
We wish to record our gratitude to the Government of Tamil
Nadu for their annual
publication grant which has made this publication possible.
