INTRODUCTION

 

The December-1994 issue of the journal "Sri Aurobindo: Archives & Research" was the last to come out for the present. The Glossary and Index of Proper Names in Sri Aurobindo’s Works, published in 1989, covers issues of the journal up to the year 1987. Relevant information occurring in the issues of 1988 to 1994 is given in this Supplement to the Glossary and Index. In addition, the Supplement corrects errors, supplies omissions, and provides improved versions of some of the glossary articles.

    The name-entries are in alphabetical order, followed by the page numbers of the book in square brackets. Most of these entries are already listed in the main series. The rest, marked with an asterisk, are either new names or cross-references left out by oversight. The new entries have been dealt with in full according to the procedure adopted in the book. In the other entries (i.e., those already listed in the book), the abbreviated instructions used are as follows:-

 

add (begin)     for Add at the beginning of the glossary article.
add (end)       for Add at the end of the glossary article, before the sources.
add (source)      for Add the following source(s) in parentheses.
include     for Include the following variation(s), derivative(s), and/or index reference(s) at the appropriate place in the book, making any necessary changes in the existing text. 
subs.      for Substitute

           

Note: The line numbers (mentioned in making changes) relate to the glossary article.

     In the index references, the following Roman figures have been used for the post-1987 issues of the journal. These may be added to the list given on page xvi of the book.

    Names taken from the Record of Yoga were listed in the book in advance of the publication of the Record. Some of them are not found in the Record as it is now finally published. They are, therefore, to be withdrawn from the book.
