Five fascicles published to date, issued respectively in 1925, 1927, 1929, 1933 and 1937, up to page 496. The name of the second editor appears for the first time on the cover of the fourth fascicle.

The Benares edition
The Chowkhamba edition is somewhat of a mystery. The editor is the son of the late Lakshmana Shastri Dravida, the second editor of the Society's edition. The contents of the Benares edition are nearly the same as those of the Society's edition. It gives the full commentaries of Sankara and Raghunātha, but does not give the one by Bhagiratha. Instead of this it has a subcommentary by Rāma Tarkālankāra. In addition, there are copious editorial foot-notes both text-critical and exegetical.
The Benares edition gives a prefatory note, twice over, in fascicles 1 and 2, in which details of the MS. materials used are given, and it may be that this list also applies to
