IV, NAME AND NATURE OF THE WORK,
As already indicated, the work is named differently in different lanuscript Catalogues. For example, in the "Second Report of Operations in Search of Sanskrit VISS. in the Bombay Circle” by P. Peterson the same work ( called Upanidānam in the colophon ) is described on p. 11:3 ( 90 also p. 185), under the name छन्द विचय; and on p. 180 it is called सामगानां छन्दः; cf, also p. 383 of Autrecht's Catalogue of the Oxford MSS., 1864. On p, 28 of the "Catalogue of Siunskrit MSS. Existing in Vadh", VIII, it is simply called
7:. On pages 33 and 257 of Stein's Catalogue of Jammu MSS, the work is called FT:Tiefety. For other references and details in this respect see Catalogus Catalogorum, Parts I and II. Besides, it has already been pointed out that the commentary of Deva Yājnika on the Yajulı-sazvānukramaņi refers to the same work by the naiue gratiaftige several times, see pp. 7, 327. Even our MSS. name it differently.
It being so, it was a question as to which name should be given to the work in this edition. Any of the abovementioned names apparently would have done equally. But I prefer to adopt the present name, firstly, because it is more significant than the others inasmuch it readily signifies the nature of the work that it is, like the Nidāna-sútra, connected with the Sāmaveda. It also shows the dependence of this work on the Nidāna--Sūtra, which is clearly stated in the stanza : glauftsagaa etc. quoted above. Moreover, the
