Vedic Texts: A Revision is an outcome of the work of preparing critical editions of Vedic Texts, being carried out by various Vedic Scholars in India. This Volume consisting of the specimens of the forthcoming critical editions of Vedic Texts is presented to Prof. C.G. Kashikar on the occasion of his eightieth birth anniversary, as a tribute of respectful gratitude to him for his profound scholarship in the field of Vedic ritualistic studies. The Volume consists of specimens of eight Vedic texts, namely Maitrayani Samhita, Gopatha Brahmana, Aitareya Aranyaka, Baudhayana Srautasutra, Manava Srautasutra, and Kausikasutra. The scholars to whom the revision of these eight works has been assigned are already quite familiar with these respective works and conversant with the necessary modus operandi. The Volume also includes a Foreword by Prof. R.N. Dandekar, a biographical sketch, biodata, and a bibliography of books and select articles of Prof. C.G. Kashikar.
