a line. Margins are ruted with three red lines. The folio-nunters are written at the bottom of the right margin on the reverse of each folio. Eaclı page has a decorative space of the shape of a sacrificial altar of thirteen padas left out in the middle, its minimum and maximum measurements being 0.3' and 1.3" respy.
There are threc cases of supra lineam additions, propria nant, but there are no corrections not any marginalia. In line 2 on folio 1 a space of two letters is leít out since the writing on the obverse has spoiled the paper on the reverse. Erasures are indicated in ways more than one viz. by not drawing the head-line of the letter to te erased, by placing two or three vertical lincs above the letter to be erased or the portion thereof desired to be crased. At two places a dayda is erased by drawing cross-wise a black line over it. At one place the letter & is changed to a by simply writing down the latter over the fornier. Likewise there is a case of a written over a whicli latter is to be deemed as era sed, and in one case the syllable q is changed to 4 in a similar way. At one place in the word sukha sanadirudhu two vertical strokes are placed above the letter di evidently to cancel it and probably to correct it to dhi, tout, for one reason or another, the revised entry of dhi is not made anywhere. Final on is always written as an anusvira and the employment of parasavarna also is mostly avoided. The lettera is generally written as 7 and as e. The employment of the danda is quite regular.
The l'rshamirūs are resorted to in most of the cases where two walrus strokes have to be slown,
Not only the colophon but also other portions of the text at haphazard intervals are lightly dauded over with red chalk.
No. 5177 is put in the middle blank space on the last page in Gujarati script by a later hand. The left margin contains the writing Rā s' in the same line as the above number, beneath which is written the word 'Dhang'. The significance of these remarks is not known. Probably these are reparks put by an owner of the Ms., no. 5177 evidently standing for the number of the Hs. in his collection,
The condition of the Ms. is gocd and the writing is Ingible and fairly correct.
MUTUAL RELATION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS
Out of these three Mss, only G contains the full text as presented in this volume, while K and O contain only one prabandha viz, that of King Madan 2bhrama. These three Mss, do not display anything like recessions, but they
