INTRODUCTION
Nāg(par): Four MSS in the newly started University colloction, by
kindness of the curator Mr. Karambelkar. Nepal: One MSS of the Y [ southeraniost] version, in the possession of
the Department of Public Instruction, Govt. of Nepal. Copied for me by kindness of the Director General, His Honour Major General Sir Mrigendra Shum Shere Jung Bahadur Rana, and Dr. Gokal Chand of the Kutmandu College, from an original dated Saka 1727 - A. D. 1805. This is presumably Aufrecht's Katmandu 7 [CC. I, p. 96), from a list of Sanskrit works supposed by the Nepalese pundits to be rare in Nepalese libraries at Khatmandoo", signed by the Resident R. Lawrence on August 2, 1868. From the saka date, presumably of Mahărāştrian provenance, though infiltrated with N readings. The copy came to hand much too late for collation. This forms a minor version of
with Jodhpur 6, of which only the N and V survive (dated A, D. 1823). NS: Collection at the Nirnaysāgar Press, Bombay 2. Three complete MSS,
of which the first two are of N type, and the third a modern copy of the
Kavi Bāļa text +gamavrtta. Par(is): Bibliothèque Nationale, Sanskrit MS no. 708. A misch-codex copied
in 1844 at Poona by one Moropaņdita; fine calligraphy. Microfilm by courtesy of H. N. Randle of the Commonwealth Relations Office Library. The Ś is of type W influenced by X; N is also of W type, but the V comes from some N version. A Grantha palm-leaf còdex reported at the same collection was reluctantly abandoned because of the difficulty
of reading such palm-leaf microfilms. PU: University of Pennsylvania collection; Poleman's Census Nos. 2168,
2169, 2183, 2184 and PU 496, complete but for the first 14 ślokus of
niti; of N. Pun(jab): University of Punjab Library, at Lahore before the partition ; 8
MSS, none of local provenance. Raj(apūr): Skt. Pāthaśālā, Rājāpūr, Dt. Ratnagiri. Five MSS, by kindness
of Pt. Raghunāth Śästrī Pātankar. RASB: Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1 Park St., Calcutta. Nos, 5100-5111
of the Catalogue pt. vii [Kāvya]. In addition, No. 6, embodied in an anthology called the Padyasaingraha and fearfully misrepresented in R.
Mitra's Notices II. 706, is our Y7. Śrn( geri): Library of the Matha, śpigeri, Mysore State. By courtesy of
the Matha authorities through Brahmasri V. S. Ramaoandra Šāstrigal
and R. B. V. Doraiswamy Iyer, both of Bangalore. One W and a Y MS. SVP: MSS from private collections at Benares, obtained by courtesy of
Prof. S. V. Puņtâmbekar, then Principal of the Arts College, Benares Hindu University.
Tan(jore): The Tanjore Mahārājā Sarafoji's Saraswathi Malās Library,
As their rules do not permit loans, the 37 MSS had to be studied in hand-copies and by pratika index or collations against printed editions, The information was not always consistent.
