INTRODUCTION
It is also curious that none of the MSS. seems to contain the name of the author.
It is to be mentioned that the present edition differs from the Ahmedabad one in the numbering of and reckoning of the extent of the individual sūtras. The latter does not count as sūtras the verses occurring at the beginning and end of each chapter and they are distinguished from the sūtras by a separate numbering. Also the word iti occurring at the end of each sūtra is taken in it to be a part of the sūtra itself while in the present edition it has been systematically separated from the sūtras. Tho samo remark applies to introductory words like tathā. Attention has been drawn to two instances of the latter type in the footnotes on pages 236 and 237.
As regards auxiliary matters a list of contents and a glossary of peculiar terms used in the sūtras have been added.
