Suryaprajñapti into chapters known Prābịtas (Pr. Pāhudas). It is more or less of an astronomical nature and has many points in common with Sūryaprajñapti. In many a place even the wording is the same ;' so one is tempted to believe
that this differs from Suryaprajñapti only in name. Begins.— fol. 14 THT SPREAIUTI
