INTRODUCTION
Nag(pur): Four MSS in the newly started University collection, by
kindness of the curator Mr. Karambelkar.
Nepal: One MSS of the Y [southernmost] version, in the possession of
the Department of Public Instruction, Govt. of Nepal. Copied for
me by kindness of the Director General, His Honour Major General
Sir Mrigendra Shum Shere Jung Bahadur Rana, and Dr. Gokal Chand
of the Katmandu College, from an original dated Saka 1727 - A. D.
1805. This is presumably Aufrecht's Katmandu 7 [CC. I, p. 96], from
a list of Sanskrit works supposed by the Nepalese pundits to be rare
in Nepalese libraries at Khatmandoo", signed by the Resident R.
Lawrence on August 2, 1868. From the saka date, presumably of Maha-
rāṣṭrian provenance, though infiltrated with N readings. The copy
came to hand much too late for collation. This forms a minor version of
with Jodhpur 6, of which only the N and V survive (dated A. D. 1823).
NS: Collection at the Nirnaysagar Press, Bombay 2. Three complete MSS,
of which the first two are of N type, and the third a modern copy of the
Kavi Băla text + samavṛtta.
Par(is): Bibliothèque Nationale, Sanskrit MS no. 708. A misch-codex copied
in 1844 at Poona by one Moropandita; fine calligraphy. Microfilm
by courtesy of H. N. Randle of the Commonwealth Relations Office
Library. The S is of type W influenced by X; N is also of W type, but
the V comes from some N vorsion. A Grantha palm-leaf codex reported
at the same collection was reluctantly abandoned because of the difficulty
of reading such palm-leaf microfilms.
PU: University of Pennsylvania collection; Poleman's Census Nos. 2168,
2169, 2183, 2184 and PU 496, complete but for the first 14 ślokas of
niti; of N.
Pun(jab): University of Punjab Library, at Lahore before the partition; 8
MSS, none of local provenance.
Raj(āpūr): Skt. Pāṭhaśālā, Rājāpūr, Dt. Ratnagiri. Five MSS, by kindness.
of Pt. Raghunath Sastrī Pāṭaṇkar.
RASB: Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1 Park St., Calcutta. Nos. 5100-5111
of the Catalogue pt. vii [Kavya]. In addition, No. 6, embodied in an
anthology called the Padyasamgraha and fearfully misrepresented in R.
Mitra's Notices II. 706, is our Y7.
Śrň(geri): Library of the Matha, Śrügeri, Mysore State. By courtesy of
the Matha authorities through Brahmaśrī V. S. Rāmacandra Šāstrigaļ
and R. B. V. Doraiswamy Iyer, both of Bangalore. One W and a Y MS.
SVP: 5 MSS from private collections at Benares, obtained by courtesy of
Prof. S. V. Puntämbekar, then Principal of the Arts College, Benares
Hindu University.
Tan(jore): The Tanjore Maharājā Sarafoji's Saraswathi Mahal Library.
As their rules do not permit loans, the 37 MSS had to be studied in
hand-copies and by pratika index or collations against printed editions.
The information was not always consistent.
