INTRODUCTION
Uda(ipür): State collection at the Sarasvati Mandir; 7 MSS described
in M. L. Meņāria's Catalogue, pp. 70 and 96. No. 1633 is a Nīti fragment,
713a Świth Dhanasara's commentary, and 717 a modern copy of the
V. The remaining four are complete. No. 1486, dated samvat 1885, gives
Rāņa Pratap's translation with a Sanskrit text which does not fit.
No. 1650 has some queer omissions in Niti with an odd arrangement
of the S. No. 1748, copied by 712, is part of a palace anthology (in
uniform writing with prsthamātrās) of which the Śṛngāratilaka and the
Pañcatantra were copied in samvat 1621, the Anangaranga immediately
preceding Bhartṛhari being copied in samvat 1623. Old horoscopes of the
Udaipur house on blank sheets at the end show that A. D. 1566 is about
the date of the S-N-V text, which is then the third oldest dated
Bhartrhari text known in India, and the second oldest complete one.
Ujj(ain): The Scindia O. R. Institute, Ujjain, C. I.; 19 MSS numberd as 18.
VSP: Vangiya Sahitya Pariṣad, 243/1 Upper Circular Road, Calcutta. One
MS of each of the three satakas, in Bengali script on yellowed unglazed
paper, but comparatively modern calligraphy, and certainly forming just
one śatakatraya collection. Nos. 734 [122], 735 [65], and 737 [140] of
the catalogue. V colophon: Sri Mahesacandra Devasarmma Bandopā-
dhyāyasya; śri gurucarana mamācalā bhaktirastu; om tatsat. The
version is very close to HU 2144 and Limbdi 885/1 for Niti, and Bikaner
3278 for S-V, so that it may be taken as copy of a Rajasthani MS of
archetype alpha. It may be mentioned in passing that the Parişad
has listed its nine MSS of the Bhattikävya under the authorship of
Bhartrhari, though the identification of the author Bhatti or Bhartṛsvamin
with our poet cannot possibly be sustained. By special courtesy of
Mr. Sisirendu Gupta and the Parişad council.

Wai: Prajia Pathaśālā, Wai; 3 MSS, two of version W, the third similar
to our version B but corrupt and inflated.
