वेदसार सहस्त्रम: Veda Sara Sahasram - Padma Purana (An Old and Rare Book)

I am very glad that Sarasvati Mahal of Thanjavur is releasing Veda Sara Sahasram of Sri Paramasivendra Sarasvati, the 57th Acharya of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham during the century year of Sri centenary year of Sri Paramacharya of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, which is rare coincidence.

The piece of Prayer which is found Padma Purana in the form of verses, is consisting of one thousand different names of Lord Shiva. The author explains the meaning of all the names with reference to the Vedas, upanishats, Puranas etc.

This will be useful to the devotees from all parts of the world who have a good knowledge of Sanskrit.

My thanks are due to Sri S. Krishnamurti Sastri, the Senior Sanskrit Pandit and Sri N. Srinivasan, the Sanskrit Pandit of Sarasvati Mahal for their endeavour in releasing this rare work.

My Appreciations are due to Sri. A.M. Mohamed Yousuff, the administrative Officer and Sri. A. Panchanathan M.A.L.I.S. the Publication Manager of Sarasvati Mahal Library in bring out this rare manuscript.

My Thanks are due to the Govt. Of India for their liberal grants to bring out the rare manuscripts and the members of the printing press of Sarasvati Mahal for the neat execution.
