First edition limited to 550 copies, 8vo, pp. [2], xxix, [3], 216, [2]; frontispiece; original full publisher's cloth, fine in fine dust jacket. From the publisher's note: "This work is meant as a concise commentary on a Dinesen Sutra: the great people are judged by what they are... Part One, the longest, consists wholly of quotations from Masters Eastern and Western... Part Two is an essay examining the question of decay of the intellectual vocation in the context of the present academic condition in India [and] discusses, more specifically, the actual state of the Indian university today in terms of its three fundamental functions... The last Part is devoted to brief, intensive elaborations of the three crucial points concerning the life of thinking which arise from the argument of Part Two." "Awadh Kishore Saran (1922-2003), who wrote under the name A. K. Saran, was an Indian scholar, editor, and writer and one of the most important voices in the Hindu world on traditional thought" (studiesincomparativereligion[.]com). Samyag-Vak Special Series IIII.
