p. 146 n. 10); three are common to go and to mss. (p. 147 n. 2, n. 4; p. 172 n. 5); five are common to more than two mss. (p. 123 n. 3; p. 150 n. 2; p. 164 n. 1; p. 170 n. 1, n. 11.) And one reading found in the Anuyogadvāracūrni occurs in to ms. only (p. 60 n. 2). .
5. Regarding the readings accepted by Ac. Haribhadra in his Vịtti, two are available in soms. (p. 61 n. 13; p. 67 n. 2), four are commonly found in any two mss. (p. 71 n. 12; p. 88 n. 3; p. 183 n. 1, n. 2) and twelve are common to more than two mss. (p. 71 n. 11; p. 119 n. 5, n. 24; p. 121 n. 12; p. 123 n. 2; p. 147 n. 18; p. 150 n. 6; p. 170 n. 11; p. 182 n. 13, n. 15; p. 183 n. 3, n. 5). And it is to be noted that one variant noticed in Ac. Haribhadra's Vștti is found in ato ms. only (p. 83 n. 8).
6. Regarding the readings accepted by Ac. Malayagiri in his Anuyogadvārasūtravịtti, three are available in #oms. and one is available in to ms. They are accepted by us and included in the body of the text proper. These are the readings on which we have written notes no. 5, 2, 4, 2 on pages 120, 137, 139 and 144 respectively, Again, one reading is found in 0 and ato mss. Refer to the reading on which we have written note 9 on page 139.
7. There is one reading (p. 96 n. 2) which is accepted in the Anuyogadvāracūrni and Āc. Haribhadra's Vștti but not found in any ms. Not only that, but even Ac. Maladhāri Hemacandra remarks that no ms. giving the readings accepted in the concerned Cürni and Ac. Haribhadra's VȚtti was available to him. But we are fortunate enough that out of the mss. utilised by us only one, viz. ato ms. contains the readings--of course incomplete-representing the tradition of the Cürni and Vịtti. That is, though Ac. Hemacandra was not able to procure, in the twelfth cent. V.S., the ms. giving the concerned readings, we are able to-day to obtain, at least one ms. which gives those readings.
The reading of the 17th Sūtra of the Anuyogadvārasūtra given in this edition between + + these two signs has been regarded as principal or original by Āc. Hemacandra. And hence he has commented on it. But in his commentary he has remarked that the suggested reading was rarely found in other mss. On the other hand, all the mss., without exception whatsoever, give this reading. That is, in the days of Āc. Maladhāri Hemacandra this reading was not available in most of the mss. But not a single ms. representing this tradition has come to us.
All this we have written only to point out the possibility of our acquiring materials or data of old recensions by properly comparing the extant mss. as also to give an idea of the variety of mss.
