fa ll It is a pity that the leaf which comes next and which is probably the last (232) should be absolutely illegible except a few letters here and there. It is written on both sides and contains probably some information about the author, as the words atran 4 - occurring on the very first line of 232a prove. It is further uncertain whether fol. 232 is really the last : the writing does not appear to have come to its natural end
in the last line of the page. Reference - For another Ms. cf. India Office Catalogue No. 748.
For some account of the author and his work cf. p. xxxviii of the index of authors in Dr. Peterson's report for 1886-92, from which it will appear that the author lived from Samvat 1285 to Samvat 1341. Aufrecht gives the date 1229 A. D. to 1287 A. D.

legible writing. Generally correct and complete. Age - The Ms. is old in appearance. Author - The Ms. mentions no author; but comparing this with

Kātantra school of grammar. The treatise contains full exposition of the application of in all 64 79Ts.
