आर्याः, 

आदरणीयं विद्वन्मित्रं  श्रीकृष्णप्रसादमहमस्मिन् शुभावसरे हार्दमभिनन्दामि। अनेन गीर्वाणीप्रणयिना यदकारि तत् सर्वथा समर्हति सभाजनम्। विरलाः खल्वीदृक्षा निरपेक्षबान्धवाः सारस्वतजगतः। अस्य कर्मयोगिनो लिपिरूपिणीयं सेवा कृतज्ञतालिपिनिबन्धनपूर्वकं कोविदहृहयकुहरेषु संस्मर्यत इति नास्ति संशीतिलेशः। 

इति भवदीयः
