They are marked क, ख, ग, घ, ङ and च. (a) This MS. is in Bengali character. Each page of it contains 7 lines. It is a very good copy, but mutilated and breaks up suddenly at the farfe root ge (183). It belongs to the Rajshahi college Library. It extends from the beginning up to the root ge, only 7 leaves in all. (a) This is an exact copy from (*). It breaks up also at the same root EUR.
