Prithwi Singh

My Lord,

With regard to glossary of Sanskrit terms from your complete works, I have so far done both series of the Gita, The Life Divine, and some smaller books; I think it may take another year to complete this work. I have fixed the meaning in the majority of cases in your own words, and as this is a sort of lexicon, I have freely given different shades of meaning wherever necessary, even explanatory definitions, so that the reader Indian or Western may find no difficulty in understanding these terms wherever they may occur....

[Prithwi Singh asks a few questions of detail, which Sri Aurobindo briefly answers.]

With deep devotion I offer my pranams at Thy Feet.
