कष्टेन लिख्यते शास्त्रं । यत्नेन परपालितः॥ संवत् १६२० वर्षे अश्वनमासे कृष्णपष्ये सप्तम्यां तिथौ । ऽर्कवासरे ॥ 'कोरटा'
नगरे मधे लिष्यतेः॥ श्रीरस्तु ।। शुभं भवतु Reference. The specimens of Bhagavatisūra with the commentary
of Abhayadeva Sūri seem to have been published at Bombay in A. D. 1874 and 1877 respectively. The complete text together with Abhayadeva Súri's Sanskrit commentary, paraphrase in Sanskrit by Rāmacandra Gaņi and tabbã or the exposition in Gujarati by Megharāja was published at Benares in A. D. 1882. A tolerably good edition of the text was published with Abhayadeva Súri's commentary by the Agamodaya Samiti in three parts in A. D. 1918, 1919 and 1921 respectively.
A. Weber's "Über ein Fragment der Bhagavati", Berlin 1866-1867 may be mentioned in this connection.
