ON SOME NONCANONICAL SUBHAȘITAand the second 50 Bhartrhari's epigrams. The third anthology is a fragment (3 folia only) of a south-Indian subhāṣitatype collection of ethical verses kept in the India Office Library (A. B. Keith No. 8167); the MS. is from the eighteenth century; it is written in Malayalam characters. Some of the verses included in this work, of which only two chapters are preserved (the vidvat-and daiva-pramāna), contains well known subhāsıta-s; 9.9. The Sūk tā valī is an anonymous anthology of 150 stray didactic verses, kept in the Bibliotheca Nazionale di Firenze (MS. G. 135) described by P.-E. Pavoliniz; it is also non-Jinistic in character; eight of its verses occur also in Somaprabha's Sūktimuktāvalid and in the Subhāṣitāvalī4 and other non-Jinistic subhāṣita-saņgraha-s (e.g. in 0. Bohtlingk's Indische Spruche); some 80 out of 150 verses could have been traced in some known nonJinistic subhāṣita-samgraha-s. Several other anonymous Suktāv ali-s are also mentioned in the Jinaratnakośa, mentioned below:
