Summary

The final section of this volume comprises a series of reviews of recent publications on Indian philosophy, religion, literature and history. Each review summarises the main arguments of a book, assesses its scholarly contribution and notes any errors or omissions. Works reviewed include L. M. Joshi’s lectures on Jain religiosity, expositions of Vedānta and Nyāya texts, editions of Purva Mīmāṃsā classics, poetic anthologies like Kapishayani, and social histories such as A. J. Rawal’s study of Indian society and mythology. Reviewers offer praise for clarity and comprehensiveness where due and point out misprints or interpretive issues where necessary. Collectively, the reviews provide readers with a snapshot of ongoing research and debates across diverse Indological fields.

Conclusion

The reviews section serves as an informative guide to recent scholarship, helping readers navigate new contributions to Jain studies, Sanskrit poetics and Indian cultural history. By highlighting both strengths and shortcomings, the reviewers foster critical engagement and encourage further research.
