THIS edition of the Divyavadana is more or less a reprint in Devanagari script of the one edited in Roman script by E. B. Cowell and R. A. Neil (C in marginal references), and issued by the Cambridge University Press in 1886. It was issued by these editors at a time when Buddhist studies were in their infancy. The language of Buddhist works could not be studied and its special features could not be codified for want of sufficient material. Professor J. S. Speyer in his introduction to Avadana-Sataka (Text No. 19 in this Series already published) has made a special reference to this fact when he stated that he considered himself more fortunate in his editorial task than the editors of the Divyavadana.
