ends with the words:--" Ha fetalasiyamefra: Il jo 9493 a." Thus the MS. is more than 450 years old.
The MS. F (No. 405 of 1879-80 of the Deccan College Library ) contains only the first 2 Cantos and a part of the 3rd Canto, up to the 85th verse. It has 25 leaves only. The peculiarity of the MS. is that the original text of the Kâvya is written in a bolder character in the page proper and the commentary is written in very small though legible characters on all the four sides of the text, in the four margins as it
were.
The present volume contains the first ten Cantos of the text and the commentary. The remaining text with the commentary and notes and introduction will form the second volume.
