Forty and three [stanzas are uttered about] the splendor; a sextet [of
stanzas] is uttered [about] the horses;
Then a double sextet [of stanzas is uttered about] the driver; and further-
more ten [stanzas] are uttered in [describing] the chariot;
Besides, eight [stanzas constitute] the praise of the disk, and twenty [the
praise] of Ravi.
Whoever shall daily recite this Sataka, thus produced by the celebrated

Stanzas I, 40, and 56 of the Süryaśataka are also cited in
Halayudha's commentary on Pingala's Chandaḥśāstra, to illus-
trate certain types of caesural pauses. See A. Weber, Ueber die
Metrik der Inder, in Indische Studien, vol. 8, p. 459-466, Berlin,
1863; cf. the Kāvyamālā edition of Pingala's Chandaḥśastra, by
Kedaranātha and Paṇashikar, p. 76-80, Bombay, 1908.

The Descriptive Catalogue of the Skt. MSS at Madras (see
above, Addendum to p. 23), vol. 19, lists five manuscripts of the
Süryaśataka (nos. 11314-11318). It is highly probable that
these five include the manuscripts mentioned in Taylor's Cata-
logue Raisonné and in the Alphabetical Index of MSS in the
Government Oriental Manuscripts Library, Madras.
