________________ 78 Summary and b) or last two (c and d) quarters, as they come either at the end or the beginning of the lost folios. Two karikas? have a line missing, probably due to the inadvertence of the scribe. The distribution of the karikas in each Adhyaya cannot be ascertained with certainty as most of them have lost certain portions. The fourth pada of the Adhyaya II (dealing with hetu, pratyaya and phala), and the first three padas of the Adhyaya III (dealing with pratiya-samutpada) are entirely lost. Major portions of the first pada of the Adhyaya I (29 folios), first pada of the Adhyaya IV, fourth pada of the Adhyaya V (7 folios) and the third pada of the Adhyaya VI (3 folios) and several small portions of the last two Adhyayas are also lost. As it is, we find the following number of karikas in each Adhyaya :1. 71 II. III. 105 125 VI.. VII. 58 ; VIII. 64 2 . Total 597 :: Since our extant work is just a little more than onethird of the original, it will be reasonable to presume that the entire karika text consisted of at least 1200 verses, covering almost the same topics that are dealt with in the Kosa, which consists of only 600 karikas" (excluding the thirteen karikas of the Kosa-sthana IX). A large number of karikas of the Dipa correspond, almost one for one and sometimes word for word, to the karikas of the Kosa, as will be evident from the comparison given in the footnotes to the text. 1. 93 and 192.
