corded by Taylor, Catalogue Raisonné of Oriental MSS in the
Government Library, vol. 2, p. 370, no. 523. Taylor there de-
scribes the poem as 100 slocas with a tica: description of the
Sun, and praise, as to a deity.'¹
A Süryaśataka in Telugu, composed by K. R. Lachchana. The
work is entitled Süryaśatakamu, and consists of 105 verses ad-
dressed to the Sun. Meter, kanda. It was published at Madras,
in 1897; cf. L. D. Barnett, A Catalogue of the Telugu Books in
the Library of the British Museum, p. 96, London, 1912.
I have been told that the group of 108 names of Surya, found
in Mahābhārata, 3. 3. 16-28, is sometimes called Süryaśataka, but
I am inclined to think that this is more commonly known as
Süryastotra, the name by which it is called, for example, in
Aufrecht's Katalog der Sanskrit-Handschriften der Universitäts-
Bibliothek zu Leipzig, p. 37, no. 175, Leipzig, 1901.
INTRODUCTION
¹ The statements of Taylor must always be accepted with caution (see
above, p. 102). It is possible that this is merely the commentary on
Mayura's Süryaśataka by Lingaya, as noted in the Alphabetical Index of
MSS in the Government Oriental MSS Library, Madras, p. 109, Madras,
1893.
