PREFACE This Department was inaugurated more than quarter of a century ago for bringing into light the precious manuscripts treasured in the Palace Library of His Most Gracious Higlines The Mahiraja of Travancore, more especially those admirable treatises composed by the members of the Royal Family. The private manuscript libraries in various parts of the State play a silent but conspicuous part in the steady growth of the Department by their readiness to lend their. literary treasure. The enornious collection of rare and unpublished manuscripts thus made called for immediate publication lest they should be lost to the world for ever. And when some of thoz * precious gems saw the light of day, their radiant effulgenye naturally attracted the profound attention of the scholarly world eliciting warm and unstinted appreciation and encomium from all distinguished orientalists. It is also noteworthy that the owners of manuscript libraries spare no pains in inducing other custodians of manuscripts as well. to place them at the disposal of this Office and that quite recently Bralimasri Kasi Vidhyar of Mahadinapuram has presented to this Department twenty. five rare manuscripts. These eminent works covering as they do all phases of literature have in no small measure added to "the prestige of this Department.

transcripts of all worthy manuscripts have been and still are prepared, the nuniber of original manuscripts and transcripts in this Library at preseilt amounting to 1,000 and 1,500 respectively. It is significant that more than one work are embodied in several of these manuscripts and that the total number of works may thus exceed 5,000.. And yet a vast literary field remains to be explored in Travancore. If a careful scrutiny is made in all private manuscript libraries it is sure to yield splendid results, thus paving the way for the early fulfilment of a long-felt desideratum--the formation of a Central Manuscripts Library. The manuscripts collected and preserved in this Library are of admittedly highly remarkable quality though not extensive in quantity. It is long since the necessity for the preparation of a Descriptive Catalogue was keenly felt, the nominal list of manuscripts made as soon as collected failing to furnish any useful information needed for research. There is thus ample justification for the publication of a Descriptive Catalogue of the manuscripts of this Office of which this forms but the first volume containing descriptive notices of Sanskrit manuscripts on Veda, Srauta, Smrti and Purana. Alphabetical order has been followed in giving the names of works in each section, the designation contained in the original being retained as such. The details of many works coming under the same denomination and vice versa are noted in the remarks column For Private and Personal Use Only

separately. This work being composed on the basis of the Descriptive Catalogne of Manuscripts in H. H. The Maharaja's Palace Library, the identical portions in each work have not been reiterated, but only referred to. The Government of Travancore have been invariably lending their generous support to this Department ever since its inception as is amply borne out by the publication of this Catalogue as well and I deem myself fortunate by the permission kindly accorded to me to associate myself with the ensuing Session of the All-India Oriental Conference by the presentation of these Descriptive Catalogues. A list of abbreviations and a detailed table of contents are appended to the work with a view to facilitate reference. Any suggestions from scholars on the rectification of defects will warmly be received and incorporated in a separate appendix at the close of the Catalogue. Acknowledging with gratitude my deep indebtedress to Rao Sahib Mahakavi Ullur S. Paramesvara Aiyar for the invaluable suggestions given to me time and again and extending my most cordial thanks to all the Pandits in my Office for their promptness and zeal to act up to my instructions, I place this work before the enlightened public.

Leaves are tied together promiscuously. In the 1st Astaka, the leaves containing 1 to 7 Adhyayas are arranged in order, but many Granthas are lost on account of the decayed nature of the Ms. Not less than fifty leaves are found after the 7th chapter of the first Astaka, relating to chapters 3, 7, and 8 of the fourth Astaka. Then are seen nearly a dozen leaves connected with the fifth Astaka, The Ms. appears to be 600 years old. It is different from the one sent to this office from the Adyar Library.

He belonged to Tanjore and was the son of Narayana of the Kausikagotra. Pedda Sastri may be identical with the author of Vedanta Pariblasa which has been published by this Department as No. 80 of the T. S. S. He was a great Vedic scholar and grammarian. His teacher was one Rangaratkadhvarindra of Kandaramaniky a village in Tanjore. This Ranganathadhvarin was the maternal grandfather of Narayana and is known to have written a commentary called Makaranda on Patanjali's Mahabhasya and another Purnima on Kaumudi. Remarks- The introductory stanzas prove that there are six different Chandovicitis attributed to Pingalaniga. The Chandoviciti of Patanjali is common to all Vedas alike. Rgveda has three. Chandovicitis and Yajus, one. The Nidana Chandoviciti on Sama is written by Patanjali. It is not known whether the Ms. of Patanjali's Chandoviciti has been discovered anywhere.

Burnell reads Bhosala into Hosala and says that Ramanatha was a Mysore King who flourished at Seringapatam in Mysore about the end of the 17th century. It seems that Mr. P. P. S. Sastri also accepts this view (vide p. 438 D. C. S. M. Tanjore). It is seen from our Mss. that the reading Bhosala is quite correct.

The inscriptions to which you have made reference are of that monarch and of no other.

The language exhibits 24ady, goda and other features of old Malayalam and so the work might have beon written some five centuries ago. Seven leaves comprise a part of some drama of mixed Sanskrit and Prakrit. Six leaves discuss some topic on Mimamsa and the last four leaves deal with Vastupuja. The Ms. is much decayed.

SANSKRIT MANUSCRIPTS. 169 show probably the date of transcription, Saka 1660 (1748 A. D.) Though this transcript comprises only three Adhyayas it is clear from Devasva mibhasya that there are on the whole 12 Adhyayas. The author Devatrata is referred to in the Nirnayasindhu of Kamalakara as well as in the Samskarakaustubha of Anandadeva. His nama suggests that he was a native of Malabar. He is referred to on the 6th page by the words, "qar yara Rateta". Bhavatrata might have been Davatrata's father and probably a com mentator on the Rgveda.

They are neither. allowed to uningle, nor to enter into marital relationship with the other classes of Brahmins. The author "might possibly have been a member of that class. His great grandfather was a great scholar and poot famous by the title "Balakavi". His heirs. living at present also affirm that the author was also the recipient of that title. He was the court poet of the King of Tanjore and was removed from that place by the King owing to mischievous plots set on foot by the orthodox Vaisnavites and Madhvas. Being thus left adrift into the world again with no support at all to make both ends meet, he took to agriculture and purchased a buffalo. Owing to the systematic troubles given by the official world he stopped cultivation and com: posed a small kavya "Mahasa Sataka" in which all the officers were severely criticised under the guise of panegyrizing his buffalo. The Maha. Raja learning all these facts, invited him to the Court and gave him many presents. All these incidents are described by Balakavi himself in the introductory verses of his Mahisasataka. The author himself states that Balakavi, was his great grand-father. Saunaka and other Acaryas are referred to in this work.
