INTRODUCTION.
THE HE Tanjore Mahārāja Serfoji's Sarasvati Mahal Library, which is described by Dr. Burnell "to be perhaps the largest and most important in the world" and which Dr. Bühler says "contains a great many useful and a number of very rare or nearly unique books many of which are quite unknown or pro curable only with great trouble and expense" was till recently the private property of the Rajas of Tanjore.
The earliest beginnings of the Library must have been about the end of the 16th century when Tanjore was under the rule of Telugu Nayaks who collected Sanskrit Manuscripts written in Telugu character. In the 18th century the Mahrathas conquered the country and since that date the Library has been increasing. By far the greater portion of the collection was made by Serfoji during a visit to Benares during 1820-1830. Śivāji his successor added a few. There has practically been no addition of any value till very recent times. A good number of Sanskrit Manuscripts including rare and valuable manuscripts representing the collection of generations of a family of scholars, known as the "Jambunatha Bhat Landagai Collection" was added to the Library in 1921.
Regarding the origin and importance of this collection, Dr. Hultzch has the following interesting information in No. III "Reports on Sanskrit Manuscripts in Southern India", edited by him in 1905 at Madras:
"The manuscripts described in this Report belong to Jambunatha bhatta, a Mahratha Brahmana at Tanjore, who is the eldest son of a certain Mannambhatta. He is a no mean Sanskrit Scholar and knows the whole Rgveda by heart. As he is continually teaching the text of this sacred book to students, even his blind daughter has learnt to recite portions of it. The existence of his Library

was brought to my notice by Mr. T. S. Kuppuswami Šāstrī, of the Educational Department, who is favourably known to Sanskritists by his paper on Rāmabhadra Diksitar. During my absence on furlough in Europe, my First Assistant, Mr. V. Venkay ya, M.A., was deputed to Tanjore in order to catalogue Jambunătha's collection. He spent three months at this work, in which he received the valuable aid of Mr. Kuppuswami Sāstri.Both the list and the extracts testify to the thoroughness and care with which he has accomplished his task. From his annual Report on Epigraphy for 1898-99 I quote the following details about Jambunătha's collection:
“He is the eldest of the three brothers and is descended from a family whose influence is reported to have been very great when the Mahratha Kingdom of Tanjore was in existence. When manuscripts were obtained for the Palace Library from Benares and other places in Northern India, the ancestors of Jambunătha bhatta appear to have systematically used their influence to make their collection of Sanskrit works. This accounts for the existence in this collection of a large number of ancient manuscripts evidently copied in Northern India. The texts were transcribed by the members of the family, who appear to have been learned men. This, according to the present owner of this Library, was how this collection came into existence. The manuscripts are all written in Nāgarī characters and on loose sheets of paper. Having been frequently handled by ignorant and careless men the manuscripts became mixed up, and the owner, who despaired of restoring order among them, made them into bundles and tied them with cloth. About two years ago, Mr. Kuppuswami Sāstrī, to whom examination of Sanskrit manuscripts is a labour of love, prepared a tentative list of the contents of these bundles.
went to Tanjore on the 2nd January, Jambunăthabhatta showed me about one hundred of these bundles. A cursory inspection of them satisfied me that the Library was an important one, and it should be carefully examined. This meant that not only should these works wbich were still coinplete be registered in my list, but that an attempt should also be made to put together pieces which, through careless handling, had got out of their places."

In 1922, the Library received other valuable collections of rare interest, known as the "Kagalkar" and the "Patanga Ayadhūta" collections. The former is about 150 and the latter, about 100 years old. The collection made by the Kagalkar Family of learned Sanskrit Scholars of Tanjore especially versed in Sanskrit Grammar (21TUTA ) contains the autograph copies made by some of them of the works composed by themselves and others. Its prominent feature is the collection of works on Sanskrit Grammar. The collection made by Patangāvadhūta whose descendants settled at Tiruvadamarudūr in Tanjore District contains a large number of works on Vedānta (aerah ) and Bhakti (Hit:). Both these collections comprise several Manuscripts which do not already exist in this Library.
The attention of the Government of India and through it of the Government of Madras was directed in 1868 to the importance of the examination, purchase or transcription of Sanskrit Manuscripts in Indian Libraries and the framing of printed lists or catalogues of the saine. (Proceedings of the Government of India in the Home Department (Public), No. 4338-48, dated Simia, 3rd November 1868).
In respect of magnitude as well as the range of subjects dealt with, not to speak of the diversity of languages employed, the Tanjore Library is probably second to none among Oriental Libraries in India.
In December of the same year, the Governinent of Madras asked Mr. Pickford, Professor of Sanskrit, to carry out the instructions of the Government of India. He commenced to catalogue the manuscripts at Tanjore but he fell seriously ill and had to return to Europe in March 1870 and never came back to India. It is not known how much he had done as his unfinished catalogues could not be found. (Letter from the Professor of Sanskrit, Presidency College, Madras, to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Madras, 22nd May 1976, and Letter No. 1560, dated Madras, 7th June 1876, from the Director of Public Instruction Madras, to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Madras.)
Thereupon Dr. Burnell, District and Sessions Judge, was appointed in G.O. No. 71, dated 16th March 1871, to catalogue the

Page #7

Sanskrit Library at Tanjore, That learned Scholar devoted a great deal of research and labour to the task and his catalogue which he styled "A classified Index to the Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Palace at Tanjore," was published in three parts between 1878 and 1980 in London. This is now the chief key to the huge Sanskrit collection in this Library. But unfortunately a great many manus. cripts, above 4,000, seem to have been omitted and his catalogue cannot be said to be complete,
During the course of his preparation of the catalogue Dr. Burnell wrote to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Madras from Bangalore on 6th August 1873 as follows:
"It may perhaps be asked if the Library is worth the labour spent on it. I can answer unhesitatingly that it is. It is now a recognised fact that nearly all Sanskrit works of importance exist in different recensions. The Tanjore Library is unrivalled in this respect ; it contains several good manuscripts of all the most important ones known as yet, including a few that are new............The Tanjore Library, however, contains additional manuscripts of most of the works which I had discovered elsewhere, and this is a matter of great importance.
I believe that this Library must, sooner or later escheat to the Government. The preparation of this catalogue will therefore protect property of enormous value. Sanskrit Manuscripts have long been very dear and the cost of making proper transcripts is now very heavy. As far as I can judge, it would not be possible to form a collection like that at Tanjore at a less cost than £50,000 but many manuscripts are unquestionably unique. "
The Tanjore Mahārājā Serfoji's Sarasvati Mahāl Library is now a public library in the full sense of that terın, the Government of Madras through the Treasurer of Charitable Endowments, being responsible for its administration. The collection belonged to the reigning princes of Tanjore--the Mahratha Mahārājas. When the last of them died leaving no direct male heir and after the death of the last surviving Räni this collection together with the other pro. perties formed the subject of litigation in civil courts. There was a rumour a few years ago that the collection had attracted the

Page #8

attention of some wealthy patrons of learning from Overseas. And it would appear that arrangements were very nearly ready to sell the whole collection outright at an assessed value, when public attention was focussed on certain remarks of Dr. Burnell to the effect that "it would not be possible to form a collection like that at Tanjore at a less cost than £ 50,000". The parties cancerned had perforce to wake up and the deal was not immediately concluded. The public of Tanjore also began to interest themselves in the affair adequately. It was rightly considered as a question of National pride. The parties in O. S. No. 26 of 1912 on the file of the Subordinate Judge of Tanjore agreed that it was eminently fit that the Library should be preserved and maintained as a public Library in trust for the public and removed the Library and one lakh of rupees to provide for its upkeep, from the subject matter of the suit. The Government of Madras in G. O. No. 1306 Home (Education), dated 5th October 1918, accordingly took possession of the same under the Charitable Endowments Act and have framed a scheme for the management of the same.
Since the Library became a Public Trust there has been a marked improvement in the reception accorded to it by the public. Various liberal and generous-minded benefactors have come forward with magnanimous offers. The Library has been enriched with several very fine collections of manuscripts, every one of them rare, valuable and very interesting. The Kagalkar collection, Jambunātha Bhat Låndagai collection and the Patanga Avadhūta collection-all these three alone number 2181 manuscripts. Besides these, the Tygarāja Svāmi collection which alone contains more than 1000 manuscripts; then the minor collections—the Subrahmanya Sastri collection, Subrahmanya Rao collection, Ramachandra Ganapat collections-all are of great and paramount importance.
The manuscripts are either on palm leaf or on paper. They are of very different value and come from very different sources. A large collection of these are recent Nagari copies of Manuscripts in South Indian characters and are at least a century old.
These manuscripts are in more than eleven distinct alphabets being from all parts of India. On the whole, one may easily say that the total number of manuscripts now in this Library is likely to exceed 30,000.

A large number of original records belonging to the last reigning house of Tanjore which will be of very great importance for reconstructing the political and social history of the Mahratha rule in Southern India has recently been transferred to the care of this Library from the Civil Court by order of the Judge.
Besides these manuscripts there are also a number of books and Manuscripts in almost all the Indian and European languages and on almost all branches of human knowledge. Special mention may here be made of the books and manuscripts in Telugu, Tamil, Mahrathi and English on account of their number and importance.
or
Dr. Burnell issued what he modestly styled "A classified Index to the Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Palace at Tanjore," between 1878 and 1880. Between 1880 and 1918 for very nearly forty years, the Library has been the victim of many an outrage. Those who were in possession gave out on loan very many manuscripts which were never returned. And many more somehow other, found themselves into Libraries other than at Tanjore. Dr. Burnell's catalogue is very usful to us to trace out lost manuscripts, which are never likely to come back to us. Our losses are probably far more: for even Dr. Burnell's admirable catalogue was by no means a complete catalogue of all that existed. For, where he mentions a single work in a bundle, we are able to-day to trace two or more works in the same bundle.
The Committee appointed by the Government of Madras took charge early in 1919. Since then, they have been busily pushing forward the work of revising and preparing a fresh catalogue of all the works now in the Library according to the latest scientific methods. Each work is described in detail in a card-index-form which contains all the necessary particulars.
In 1920 a Catalogue of printed books in French, Latin, Italian and Greek was published. In 1926 three volumes of a Catalogue of Tamil Manuscripts in the Library were published. These are now on sale and can be had from the Secretary of the Library.
The Administrative Committee of the Library approached the Government of Madras, year after year with the request for a special grant to enable them to prepare and publish a descriptive

catalogue of the Sanskrit Manuscripts in this Library. In their G. O. No. Mis 563 Dated 9th April 1927, the Government of Madras were pleased to allot the necessary funds for a three-year programme for carrying out the long delayed desire of the Committee. The work of cataloguing and printing has since been pushed forward with great rapidity.
The First Volume of the Descriptive Catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts is now published. The first Volume contains notices of 697 Manuscripts belonging to the Veda Section. The Veda section is expected to comprise in all about 2000 Manuscripts and will be completed in three Volumes. The third and last Volume will contain a detailed introduction to all the Manuscripts contained in the Veda Section besides the various indexes and other useful information.
In issuing this Catalogue, I have great pleasure in acknowledge ing gratefully the loyal and ever-ready assistance I have been uniformly getting from Rao Sabib. T. Sambamurthi Rao avl. B.A. B.L. the energetic Honorary Secretary of the Library and the permanent staff working under him, on whom and on the special staff sanctioned by Government have fallen all the arduous and exacting work connected with the rapid preparation of the work for the Press.

The title page continues the story narrated in No. 69 in pictures. As a result of the churning, the deadly poison हालाहल is engendered. Visnu, Brahma, Indra and Agni pray to Siva and Parvati to protect them from the all consuming poison. Siva accedes to their request and drinks the poison himself, whereupon Parvati, solicitous of Siva's life, stops the poison in Siva's neck; hence the name Nilakantha (bluenecked) to Śiva.

in No. 70. The three countries, Cera, Cola and Pandya suffer from want of rain. The Kings of these three lands pray to Sage Agastya who advises them to practise the Somavaravrata or fasting on Mondays to please the Lord Siva. As a result of the penance they are endowed with a power of travelling in the air at will, whereupon Indra asks them what they wanted. Indra accedes to the request of the Kings of Cera and Cola for plenty of rain but refuses the same to the King of the Pandyas as King Ugrapāṇḍya was insolent enough to seat himself on an equal seat with him. Indra and Ugrapandya fight each other. Ugrapandya uses his second giftthe divine bangle referred to in No. 62 and chops off the crown of Indra. This incident is illustrated in full detail ag

The title page pictorially illustrates another incident from the Sivapurāņa. Once Brahmã woke up the sleeping Vişnu and accosted Him "child, wake up." At this, Visnu grew angry; and both decided to fight out the issue. The Gods grow frightened at the unpleasant turn of events, and prayed to Paramasiva to put a stop to the duel. Paramasiva thereupon appeared on the scene in the form of a Jyotirlinga standing in full enveloping heaven and earth. Brahma and Vinnu were now convinced of another being greater to them. selves, stopped fighting and looked wonder-stricken at the Jyotirlinga.

The title page contains a pictorial representation of the famous Siva Linga in or modern Tirukaḍayur near Tranquebar in the Tanjore Dt. The Lord is known as Amṛtaghaṭeśa. The picture shows Märkandeya worshipping the Lord when God Yama, riding his buffalo throws his Kalapāśa to remove Markaṇḍeya to his own regions. Yama is attended by his followers. The worship of Markaṇḍeya stands him in good stead. From out of the Linga emerges the Lord as Kalasamharamurti and throws down Yama from his vahana with His Divine Trisula.

Remarks :—The beginning of the Fourth Adhyaya “fe fe
a dera” is given after the colophon. The last section in this Ms." ifayattaa" is the 22nd. section of Rg-veda Khila (See M. Muller's Second Edition of Rg-veda. Vol. IV. Page 534].
The title page contains a pictorial representation of the worship of the Lord Vaidyeśvara by the ten-headed demon Rāvaņa. The place of worship is the modern Vaidiśvarankoil in the Tanjore Dt. Rāvana made the supreme sacrifice to satisfy the Lord Mahadeva by offering his heads one after another in the sacrificial fire. When the tenth and last bit was about to be offered, the Lord was pleased and stopped Rāvana at the last minute. He appeared as the Divine Doctor and reset the lost heads on Rāvana. Hence the name of Vaidyesvara to the Lord Mahadeva. On one side of the title page, Rāvana is shown worshipping the Lord and on the other side his attendant demons all standing in an attitude of ecstatic prayer. The demons are depicted with long upturned noses in the forin of a scythe.

Ādartiya commented the Sankhāyana Srauta Sūtra, and this is probably the writer here alluded to in the beginning of this
Ms). It seems to nme not unlikely that this Ms. (described above) is a fragment of Mahidhara's commentary on the Rg-Veda ("Catalogue of Sanskrit Mss. existing in oudh", pp. 2, 3 of Fasc. i.). There is no other commentary (except perhaps Ātmananda's which is in the I. O. Library) that I can suggest. I have, however not seen either." He also adds--"As the author (of this Ms.) considers the Rg-Veda to teach Nārāyaņa to be the Supreme Being, this cominentary cannot be old."

century under the patronage of the Hosala family & Canarege dynasty originally Jains, and converted by Rāmānajācārya about 1150 to the Vaişnava faith. Rama reigned at Devagiri from 1272, 3-1310, and this commentary must, therefore, have been composed within that period. It is very concise, and there is every reason to believe that only the Pūrva-ārcika, Āraṇyaka Samhitā, and Mahanāmos hymns were commented on by Bharata Svāmin, for there is no trace of a commentary on the Uttarãrcika by this author; and here 9,112 (Bharatasvāmin's commentary) and 9,108 (Sāyana's commentary on the Uttara-Arcika) formed part of the same Ms. originally. I have seen this occur in another instance. Saunaka, the Aitareyabrhāmaņa, Āśvalāyana sutra, the Taittirfyaka, Babe vộca Upanigad and apparently Yãska are quoted, so far as I have examined this commentary."

author Bhattabhāskara, Dr. Burnell gives the following on page 7 of his Catalogue:-"Bhatta Bhaskara Misra is quoted by Sayana, and according to tradition lived about 950-1000 A. D. He must not be confounded with Kasyapa Bhatta Bhaskara, who wrote a Samavedarseyadipa, or index (about 1000 granthas) to the metres, sis and deities of the Sámaveda P. A., and who probably lived in the fourteenth century. (C.C. on the Sāmaveda Brāhmaṇas are attributed to this author, but I have not seen them. This Bhatta Bhāskara quotes Bharata Svāmin). The quotations in this work, though meagre, are interesting. In the parts I have been able to examine, besides Bhavasvămin, the Taittiriya Anukramani,
Manava Dharmasastra and Panini, Yaska K. i. 1, 13-regarding 'पय:' (N. ii. 5),Pr. 2, 80-regarding 'अतिथि' (N. IV. 5) are

cited. In K. ii. 1, 5, the opinion of Bharadvaja is quoted. In the same Kanda, Prasna iv. Anuvaka 14, there is an interesting discussion on a passage cited from some work on Astronomy - अव चन्द्रगुणकीर्तनेनाऽदित्या एव स्तूयते.... तथा हि सूर्योनिमयो
गोळश्चन्द्रोऽम्बुमय: स्वच्छः । इति तस्मादस्य दिवसकरमरीचिसमाश्लेषेण भास्वरत्वं भवति ; यथाहुः---
भाग्रहाणां गोळार्धानि स्वच्छायया विवर्णानि ।

Towards the end this commentary becomes a mere paraphrase with an occasional brief explanation of an unusual form or accent. At the end of the Kāņdas in some Mss., it is stated that Bhatta Bhāskara composed this commentary;
'एष निष्पावकेशाके कौशिकान्वयजन्मना ।
भट्टभास्करमिश्रेण ज्ञानयज्ञः प्रकीर्तितः ॥' This proves that he was a Telugu Brāhman, as they only take names of plants for their family names. His name was thus (re-translating the two words) Anumula Bhatta Bhāskara. This family name is still a common one."

Remarks:--This Ms. is an abridgement of Jñanayajña of Bhattabhaskara. Dr. Burnell's Remarks on this Ms. that it is 'apparently the original of the last', namely 9049 a, is quite unfounded, since these two Mss. deal with entirely different texts. See subjects on Ms. 672 and 687. This Ms. contains after the 8th leaf, the Sayana's commentary also on the 6th and 7th Prapathakas of the 4th Kanda. See 687. The Ms. is in good
