         Madras High Court Judge (Retired) 19-5-1938.

DEAR SIR,

Your scholarship in Tamil language and literature, your zeal
in the cause of popularising the great truths treasured up in the
ancient and sacred literary works in Southern India are too well-
known to require any assertion by me. Much is my appreciation
of the great task you have undertaken in  publishing the time -
honoured Periapuranam, with  your lucid commentary. I am glad,
you are devoting your talents very usefully.

                                                        Yours sincerely,

                                                            (Sd). K. SUNDARAM
                                                                      CHETTY.
