Abstract

A REformed edition of Colonel G. A. Jacob's Laukikanyāyāñjali. The Laukikanyāyāñjali, a compilation by Colonel G. A.

The Laukikanyāyāñjali originally consisted of three parts (called Handfuls), published over a period of almost quarter of a century. The were revised and reprinted several times in many editions. Its English title is--A Handful of Popular Maxims.
