dealt with in two polumes (i.e.) Volumes VI and VII. The sixth volume deals with the Pañcamahåkávyas, other Mabākávyas and Khandakávyas. The Pancamabākávyas are the Raghuvamóa, the Kumarasambhava, the Kirätārjuplya, the Sidupālavadba and the Naigadha. Each of these works is represented by a large number of manuscripts and consequently a slight change has been adopted in cataloguing these works. One manuscript is described in detail and the rest have been given in a tabular form, which is self-explana. tory. Thus No. 2777 describes in detail a copy of the Raghuvamia and the tabular statement begins with No. 2778 and continues up to No. 2989. Of Mallinātba's commentary on the Raghuvamga there are a number of copies and as before, one of them (No. 2990) is described in detail and the rest are described in tabular form (Nos, 2991-3044). Each Mahākávya and its cmmentary are being dealt with in this way--Kumarasambhava (Nos. 8046-3080); its Vyökbya (Mallinātha's) (Nos. 9081-89): Kirátārjuniya (Nos. 3095. 8164); its vyakhyā (Nos. 3185-86): Sibupälavadha (Nos. 3188-3872): its vyakhyā (Nos. 3978-8435); Naiqadha (Nos, 3444-8805); its Vyākhya (Nos. 3607-8678) Nárayapa's vyakhya (3679-8889). Apart from Mallinātha's eommentary there are certain other commenta. ries and they have been described in full. For manuscripts noted in the tabular statement, certain special remarks have been, wherever necessary, given and they follow each Mabākivya in order.
Nos. 3894-8739 describe the other Mahäkávyas. Nos. 87408861 describe in detail the Khandakivyas.
