Dr. Amalendu Bagchi is a renowned sanskrit scholar and has made a special study of ancient sanskrit literature on sciences-physical and chemical sciences in particular. He has at the same time studied the corresponding western sciences, especially at the conceptual level. He has not limited himself to printed literature, but has taken great pains to discuss abstruse points with. among others, Acharya Satyendra Nath Bose, the eminent physicist and with Acharya Gourinath Sastri, one of our most respected sanskrit scholars.

Dr. Bagchi has, after a dedicated study covering more than three decades, come out with a number of correlations which demand attention of the scientific community. I believe that he has got a few novel ideas and thoughts to share with the modern scientists.

Dr. Bagchi has opened our eyes to rich sources of India's scientific tradition. They are sure to inspire science scholars and sanskrit scholar to come together to delve further into the points brought to our notice by him.

For E of Einstein's equation, E-me, Kapila's Samkhya gives rajas' meaning the temporal motion-dimension of causal inter-transformatory relativity-dynamism between the other two dimensions of material nature viz., 'Sattva' or space-dimension bearing the reflection of adjacent 'puruşa' or conscient self reflectively appearing as the subjective Quantum-ego of the objective Energy lending quasi-permanent reality-constant to a particular moment of Energy's causal interdimensional transformatory dynamic continuum,- and 'tamas' or space-contracting inertial mass-dimension. Ancient Indian sciences build everywhere on this logic of 'ahamkara' or reality-manifesting Quantum-ego of the causal Energy which otherwise, i.e., without its Quantum-ego- construction by subjective self-reflection on the space- dimension, is liquidated so as to lead 'triguna praksti tridimensional primamateria to pass into an 'avyakta' or unmanifest state scientifically unknowable since undefinable as mc, ie, in terms of limited units of space and time.

The important feature of distinction between the two schools of scientific thought, modern and ancient Indian, lies in the respective outlook of each about the relation between Quantum and Energy in the matter of the creation of manifest realities of objective nature. According to the standpoint of modern science, Quantum, said to be 'given in nature', is identical with the ultimate 'constant' of Energy's mass-space relativity, the h of Max Plank's equation E-hy, objectively realised as the infinitesimally small physical particle of which five kinds, with four kinds of iertial spatial proportionals of the vunder the h of them, combine to form firstly into 92 (or 108) kinds of so-called nucleus-cum-shell atoms and secondly into the property- manifesting molecular element-units of them, combining further into inter-molecular solid, liquid or gas giving the gross substances of manifest nature. As to the biochemical elements of the animal-body like mere circulatory fluid in the lowest cadre of living organism-kinds and amino-acids, blood, bone etc. upto the consciousness-manifesting cortical- spinal central sensory-motor neural structure found functioning in higher animals-highest in man, with scope possible for self-stimulated cortical activity for cortical activity's sake, modern biochemists and neurologists have been trying their utmost to bring them all under this or that special. electro-magnetic mechanical feature of the neural hv-divorced from all consideration of any subjective self-conscious part of its h.
