The MSS. of Svayamprakáśa's commentary are indiffer-
ent; and all of them exhibit errors of commission and of
omission, not purely clerical. The copies of the Vártika, on
the other hand, are good, the last being by far the best.
Free as this last is from errors except a few clerical ones
which can be easily corrected, it has been found a very
valuable guide as furnishing a commentary which has enabled
us to restore the text of the Vártika to the form in which it
was at the time of the commentator. The readings of the
other two, where suggestive, have been given as foot-notes.

POSTSCRIPT.
Just as I was going to send to the press the final proof
of the pages of the Preface to this volume, I came by a
recently written Telugu MS. of the Mánasollása with Rána-
tírtha's commentary, belonging to Pandit Sítárámaśástri of
the Bangalore Sanskrit College. Though, as regards general
accuracy, this MS. can hardly compare with the Grantha
MS. on which the present edition is mainly based, its read-
ings are in a few cases found decidedly superior to those of
the other MS. or MSS. I note at the end of the volume not only
all these readings and such variae lectiones as are otherwise
deserving of notice, but also some typographical errors
which one more careful reading of the printed pages has
discovered.
