N=The Northern Recension
Archetype a
Version A: The northernmost of our established versions, conser-
vative and well-determined both as to the actual stanzas and their readings.
Hence, this occupies a place analogous to that of Kaśmiri-Śāradă sources in the
Mahābhārata oritical apparatus, and like them agrees at times with the Mala-
yalam group from the extreme south. Besides the MSS given below, the
version is attested by BBRAS 103, a corrupt and uncommented MS of samvat
1875 from Vikrampura [ - Bikaner ?]; by the extra stanzas in the current
Gujarati Printing Press edition of Bhartrhari; also by Leipzig 419; by the
fragmentary Bikaner 65; and Limbdi 1103. The stanza labheta sikatāsu [319]
is omitted, while āvartah samśayānām occurs twice as N 51 and ś 29. The
commentary [ in Ao. 1 ] is by Rüpacanda & Jain of the Kharataragaccha;
simple but accurate, it agrees far better with its own text than is the case
with commentators of other versions; its language, with verb-forms like chai
and nominal terminations ro-ri-rã is a mixture of Jaipuri and Mārwārī, in the
olassification of J. Grierson's Linguistic Survey of India.
Ao = BORI 796 / 1886-92; size 10 " x 4-3 / 8"; fol. 3-93, 1-2 missing; 1.
11-13, let. 38-42. Dated 1770 December 16. Commentary continuous with
the text in the same clear and bold hand. Tends to add an extra mätrā,
particularly at the end of a quarter, probably from miscopying from original
punctuation dandas. Colophon :

above corresponding portions of text. Generally very carefully written and on
the whole the best MS of our entire critical apparatus. Dated 1731 September
27 at Sojitnagar, probably Sojat near Marwar junction. Copyist Candravallabha,
pupil of the commentator Rüpaoanda. Colophon:

commentary. An excellent codex, but contaminated by E readings. Srinātha
