dealt with in two volumes (i.e.) Volumes VI and VII. The sixth volume deals with the Pañcamahäkävyas, other Mabākāvyas and Khandakavyas. The Pañcamahākāvyas are the Raghuvamsa, the Kumarasambhava, the Kiratarjunlya, the Sisupalavadha 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 Raghuvamaa and the tabular statement begins with No. 2778 and continues up to No. 2989. Of Mallinatha's commentary on the Raghuvamsa 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 Mahakavya and its commentary are being dealt with in this way-Kumarasambhava (Nos. 3045-3080); its Vyakhya (Mallinatha's) (Nos. 3081-89); Kirātārjunlya (Nos. 30958164); its vyākhya (Nos. 3165-86); Sisupālavadha (Nos. 3188-3872); its vyakhya (Nos. 3873-3435); Naigadha (Nos. 3444-3605); its Vyakhya (Nos. 3607-8678), Nārāyaṇa's vyākhyā (3679-8689). Apart from Mallinātha's commentary there are certain other commentaries 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 Mahakavya in order.
