INTRODUCTION
This version is well-determined, differing considerably from the
rest of the archetype, except Y₁. Most remarkable are the omissions of
many otherwise accepted slokas, such as eke satpuruṣāḥ [221] and brahmã
yena [285]. The major differences of order from Y T G M are seen from
the chart to be transposition of yadāsīd ajñānam [6] from Ś 59 to V
101, and another of a whole group of stanzas between V 8 and V 35. Most
MSS derive from Sātārā district, probably even BM 256, and IO Mar.

with division into paddhatis is unmistakable, though Ś numbers are rather badly
upset after $ 19. Bikaner 3277 is another Y MS from the extreme north of
Bhartrhari territory; dated samvat 1900, and complete though corrupt; it is
supported in its order by Hain. 1836 and Bik 1027, which is a misch-codex with
Y type N and a V of N; also by Bik 3285, which has the V alone with northern
interpolations towards and after the end. Finally, Bik 3286 with the same

have not been collated.

into decades by simply omitting the numbers beyond ten in each set. This
rigid subdivision into decades for N and V, with scores for Ś [still further
subdivided into irregular portions] is the main feature of this major version.
Nevertheless, the complete uniformity thereby attempted has not been achieved,
and there is a surprising number of minor versions. Also not collated

many N concordances, apart from strong differences in sloka content; and the
10 Telugu printed edition of 1810 or 1848 (no title page!] which is fully
attested in slokas as well as its queer readings by Mysore KB 340, a Kanarese
MS on European factory paper. The eighth paddhati in Niti is generally
disturbed, perhaps because of an excess over the 100 of ślokas at hand when
