PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION Although The Kdpdlikas and Kaldmukhas has become recognized as a standard work on these two Saivite sects of medieval India, it has never had an adequate distribution in India, despite the fact that it was originally jointly published both in India and the U.S.A. by Thompson Press and the University of California Press respectively. Hopefully this new edition by Motilal Banarsidass will largely solve this problem. The new edition also gives me the opportunity to present two new appendices that summarize the discoveries relevant to these sects and the analyses of them that other scholars have made since the book’s original publication in 1972. Except for a few minor corrections, the original text of the book remains intact. The new material described and discussed in the two new appendices has not been integrated into the bibliography and index, but extensive cross-references are included in the notes to the appendices as well as complete biographical citations. The photograph on the dust jacket of this new edition is of a standing sculpture of Lakullsa found at Alampur, (Mehabubnagar, A.P.) lOih-1 lih century. The photo archives of the American Institute of Indian Studies in Ramnagar, Varanasi, kindly supplied the original photograph. New Delhi David N. Lorcnzcn April, 1990
