The rest are practically ready for the last several years. But some of them will have to be now modified, in case numbers of works are to be replaced by those for printed pages, and this can be done only when the entire matter of Vol. XVIII spread over parts II-IV: gets printed.
Now a word about “Supplement". The work entitled as Nayakarnika and numbered as 13846 of 1891-75 was lost sight of till the Ms. of another work following it got printed. To reserve it till the completion of this Vol. meant waiting for an indefinitely long period, in view of the present rate of printing. Consequently I have here assigned a place to it by way of “ Supplement" and numbered it as 6a, too, to suggest its precedence over No. 7 described on pp. 17-19. Same has been the case with Mss. of Ayatanagatha and Ayatanasvarapa.
i Parts II and III deal with works of the Svetambara school only, and part IV with those of the Digambara one. .
