▸Mr.S.L. Kapadi, a friend of Dr. S.R. Phatak, who knew about
the idea , took the author’s rough draft and notes of his
Marathi repertory and came out with a skeletal copy of his
repertory. The author arranged the work properly and
made many additions.

copy was lying on authors table for nearly ten years.

work and with the help of Mr. Datay first edition was
printed in September 1963 at Mouj Printing press.
