INTRODUCTION
HU: Widener Library of the Harvard University, Cambridge Mass, U. S. A.
MSS studied by microfilm; ordered from descriptions in 11. I. Poleman's
"Census of Indic MSS in the USA and Canada" [Am. Or. Soc.,
New Haven, Conn. 1938; to Dr. Poleman's kindness are due the
first microfilms, sent during wartime; the relevant nos. in Poleman's
survey are 2167-2184, 5745]. Harvard nos. 165, 271, 468, 632, 1376, 2133,
2135, 2144, 2145, 2131, 1397, 196, 1387; 1848 is a translation, the Rāṇä
Pratap version. Poleman's brief descriptions have to be corrected
in that HU 2133, 2144, 2145, 1387 are of the complete three śatakas,
HU 2135 being a prakrit Jain Vairagya having nothing to do with
Bhartṛhari.
