PREFACE I have great pleasure in presenting to the world of scholars this volume of the Descriptive Catalogue of the Nataka Mss in the Govt. Mss. Library at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona. In this connection I have to invite their attention to a brief history of the entire scheme of the Descriptive Catalogue of Govt. Mss, given in the preface to Volume XII ( containing Alamkara, Samgita and Natya MSS.), published in 1936. As in the preparation of that volume I have followed also in this volume the lines on which the first volume in this series was brought out by the Government of Bombay in 1916. Every attempt has been made to make the description of each MS as objective as possible consistent with the lines already laid down by Govt. in the preparation of the first volume of this Catalogue referred to above. Much as I would have liked to read all unpublished works represented by Mss described by me and record the references found in them to earlier authors and works I was prevented from doing so owing to the limits imposed upon me by the model volume already published by Government. None is more conscious than myself of the utility of these references for historical studies but in view of the inordinate delay that may have resulted from the adoption of such a course I had to forego the temptation of recording and incorporating all historical data of the above nature. In the preparation of this volume I have availed myself of numerous manuscripts catalogues (descriptive or otherwise ) and printed editions of the works described, whenever available. I am particularly indebted to Prof. Keith's Sanskrit Drama' published in 1924. I take this opportunity of thanking the Executive Board of the Institute for allowing me to continue my work on the Descriptive Catalogue of Mss., the first tangible result of which was the publication of Volume XII of this Catalogue in 1936. I have also to thank Principal R. D. Karmarkar, M. A., Superintendent of the Pub

Preface lication Department and Dr. V. S. Sukthankar, M. A., Ph. D. the present Honorary Secretary of the Institute and the Superintendent of the Mss Dept. through whose genuine regard for the work carried on by me I have been encouraged to apply myself wholeheartedly to a quick preparation of the descriptive catalogue of Mss. I have to thank Messrs, M. M. Patkar, B. A. and S. N. Savadi, B. A. the two cataloguing assistants for their conscientious and efficient discharge of all work entrusted to them as also the entire office staff of the Institute including Mr. G. N. Shrigondekar, B. A., who spared no pains in the prompt disposal of all press-work connected. with the present volume. P. K. Gode.

Regulations of the Manuscripts Department 1. "The Government Manuscripts Library" formed and maintained by the Government of Bombay, and formerly deposited at the Deccan College, Poona, is now, subject to the general control of the Department of Education, Bombay, placed under the direct charge of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona. 2. The Department is administered by a Superintendent appointed by the Executive Board of the B. O. R. Institute subject to the approval of Government. 3. The Manuscripts are available at the Institute, during working hours, for purposes of bona fide study. 4. The Manuscripts in the Library, if, in good condition, and subject to the requirements of the Department, are lent out to bona fide scholars on their applying for them in writing to the Superintendent of the Department or to the Secretary of the Institute. Such scholars shall, however, execute a bond for the value of the manuscripts required, this value being fixed by the officers in charge of the Library. s. In the case of scholars from outside India, all requisitions for loans of manuscripts shall be made to the Secretary of State for India in Council, through whom also the transactions in manuscripts shall take place. Such scholars shall execute the necessary bond with the Secretary of State for India in Council, at his discretion. 6. In the case of scholars in India the execution of the bond shall be necessary before the manuscripts are lent out. When the applicant is not sufficiently known to the Superintendent of the Department, this latter officer shall have the power to call upon the applicant to produce a certificate as to his interest in the study of Sanskrit Literature, and of his being a fit person to be entrusted with Government manuscripts. Such a certificate shall have to be

Page #13
xii Regulations of the Manuscripts Department signed by Orientalists of recognised position, or by Government officers of the Provincial or other highest service, not below the rank of a Deputy Collector or Extra Assistant Commissioner. The certificate should contain a reference to works or essays published by the applicant. N. B. - In the case of scholars residing within the jurisdiction of a Native State, the certificate may be signed either by the Chief Sahib or the Divan or the Administrator of the State. 7. All applications for manuscripts shall state the reasons for which the manuscripts are required and the period for which the loan is sought. 8. If any manuscripts belonging to this Library have been used in the publication of an edition, or in any other learned disquisition, the author should present to the Manuscripts Library a copy of the work or works so published. 9. The number of manuscripts to be lent out at a time to a scholar, and the period of loan, is determined by the officers in charge of the Library. Usually, however, in the case of Indian scholars, not more than five manuscripts are allowed to remain with them at a time, and the period of loan shall not normally exceed six months. 10. Immediately on receipt of manuscripts, the scholars are requested to examine them carefully before signing and returning the receipt-form accompanying the manuscripts, as no complaints will be entertained thereafter. 11. When the manuscripts are returned to the Library they are duly examined, and if found in their original condition, the receipt formerly signed for them is returned and the bond cancelled. The liability of the borrowers ceases only after the re. turn of this receipt.

Page #14
X111 Regulations of the Manuscripts Department 12. If scholars find that, owing to the work on the manuscripts not being completed within the stipulated period, they cannot return the manuscripts when due, they shall, sufficiently in advance, apply in writing to that effect to the Superintendent of the Department, or to the Secretary of State for India in Council, as the case may be. The period of loan will be extended at discretion. In no case, however, shall any maunscripts be allowed to remain with a scholar longer than two years in India, and five years outside India. 13. The Manuscripts Department reserves to itself the right of refusing to lend out any manuscript to any scholars at any time, and in the case of manuscripts lent out, of demanding their return before the expiry of the stipulated period, if the manuscripts be required for library or other purposes. 14. All postal charges shall be borne by the applicant except in the case of foreign applicants applying for the loan of Govt. Mss. through the Secretary of State for India in Council. 15. The Department undertakes to procure on loan, for the members of the Institute, manuscripts from other lending Libraries.
