Grammar
Reference - The work has been printed by Pandit Bala Sastri
Benares 1890. For the question of its authorship see Bůhler's Report for 1875-76 pp. 72-73 and Dr. Bhandarkar's Report for 1883-84 p. 58. Consult also Liebich who has translated two chapters of the Vșitti, Breslau 1892. A critical edition of the work is still a desideratum, in spite of good Ms, material available in the libraries of India and Europe.

a line. Description - Thick country paper, Deyanāgari characters with
98475|18 ; bold and legible handwriting, fairly correct. The corners of leaves 4, 5 and 6 spoiled so as to lose about 3 lines. Leaves 51, 424 and 425, each numbered twice ; leaf 55 wanting ; leaf 114 very much torn. Adhyāya I ends on leaf 77; while adh. II begins on leaf 80. The leaves are numbered continuously as well as separately for each adhyāya. The 8th adhyāya belongs to a different Ms. from
the rest and has thus its own paging. Age - Samvat 1543, of the first 7 Adhyayas ; and Samvat 1535, of
the 8th Adhyâya. Author - Vāmana. In this Ms. we nowhere find the mention
of Jayāditya in the several colophons. The colophon generally at the end of each pāda is 'sta tilantei arit TTHEYTETITE TOTA: 919' and so on. At the end of Adh.
I, it is 'fa alaninantei gai etc.' (1. 77). " Ends - At the end of Adh. II. the usual colophon is followed by
'इष्टपसंख्यानवती शुद्धगुणा विवृतगूढसूत्रार्था । घ्युत्पनरूपसिद्धिवृत्तिरिय काशिका नाम ॥
