THE SANSKRIT MANUSCRIPTS.
597
No. 858. अवर्णि.
AVARNI. Pages, 11. Lines, 6 on a page.
Begins on fol. 16a of the MS. described under No. 853. Complete.
This work is intended to help the students of the TaittirisaSamhità in finding out where an initial 37 or 377 of words is merged in the final 3T7, T or 371 of the immediately previous words under the rules of Sandhi.
The author proposes to supply the omissions, to omit the excesses and to correct the errors found in the list of words given in another work of the same name forming part of the Varşalakşaņa of ancient authors' (probably this reference being to a Prātišākhya).
The author also says that he bas added a commentary of his own, which, however, is not found in this codex, but is found in the Ms. described under No. 860. Beginning:
