It is certainly gratifying that, within less than a year from the resumption of the publication of the Descriptive Catalogue of Manuscripts in August 1975, we have been able to bring out yet another volume of the Catalogue. This volume dealing with Tantra was, like the preceding one dealing with Dharmasastra, compiled by our esteemed friend, the late Dr. Har Datta Sharma. We take this opportunity to pay our tribute of gratitude to the memory of that indefatigable scholar. Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona 4 July 15, 1976 R. N. Dandekar

Description.-- Country paper ; Devanagari Characters; two hand writings; that on foll. 1-7 is good, that on fol. 84 is bad. Somebody has tried to disfigure last 8 lines on fol. 7; another person has tried to reconstruct; the result is, that the whole mass is quite illegible. fol. 8a has got only first six lines in fact, the remaining has been wiped of with water leaving a darkish paint over the leaf. Similar is the fate of 86. The Ms. can be divided into two parts. (1) foll. 1-7 and ( 2 ) fol. 8. The second part has different paper, different handwriting and is obviously a portion of a different work. The colophon there is-- (fol. 8", lines 5-6) iti divyazrIrAjarAjesvaritaMtre zivazrIsaMvAde dhyAnamaMgalastotra aSTaS TEI:1 So, it seems to form part of the 38th chapter of the Rajarajesvaritantra from which the title of the ms. is taken. Again the numbering of verses on this page is 221, 222, 223 and 224. The first part is the Rajarajesvari. dhyana. There is nothing to show that it forms part of this Tantra. The first part ends on fol. 76. The versenumber in the third line there is 115; but in the illegible mass, which follows on that page, an attempt has been made to number the last verse as 220, so that an apparent connection may be established between this page and the following. The first part starts with the traditional list of gurus, who should be remembered at the beginning of ritual. This list is put in the mouth of Hayagriva. Then Devi asks Sankara about the Rajarajesvaridhyana. Sankara after his usual expresion of unwillingness and a mild rebuke to Devi for her feminine curiosity, describes the said dhyana.
