Reference. This Ms. was utilized by Charpentier for editing the
text of Uttaradhyayanasūtra. In his introduction (p. 63) to this work he observes :
“I have made use for the text of the Ms. no. 2 of coll. 1880-81, which is from samv. 1340 (= 1284 A. D.), and written apparently by the same hand which wrote no. 5 of the same collection mentioned above. It contains 64 leaves, is quite complete and is very well and clearly written. There are apparently very few mistakes in it, although the orthography is sometimes not quite correct. But this is a fault to be found frequently even in the most
excellent manuscripts". N. B.- For other details see No. 644 and F. Kielhorn's Report
for 1880-81, p. 3.
