not marked. Fortunately, however, the first and the last leaves are preserved. The last leaf gives an account of the family.
The MS. had the five chapters, separately paged. We have got in the fragment the first three leaves of the · 1st chapter, the first six leaves of the 2nd chapter,
leaves 2 to 5 and the 7th and the 8th of the 3rd chapter, a leaf unmarked containing the colophon उमापतिसगर्भश्रीविश्वधरसूनुना श्रीकेशवेन व्याख्यातं चतुर्थप्रथमाह्निकम् ; leaves 70, 73 of the 4th chapter and the rest of the 5th chapter; leaves 74, 75 of the 4th chapter ; a leaf marked 71 with the colophon इति महामहोपाध्याय-तर्काचार्य-वेदान्तव्यास-ौकेशवमिश्रकृते गोतमसूत्रप्रकाशे पञ्चमस्याद्यमाहिकम् ; then a leaf unmarked which seems to be the next leaf; then the last two leaves marked 14 and 15 of the 5th chapter. The last colophon :
इति महामहोपाध्याय-तर्काचार्य-वेदान्तव्यास-ौकेशवमिश्रकृते गोतमसूत्रप्रकाशे पञ्चमोऽध्यायः समाप्तः ।
पञ्चमोऽध्यायः समाप्तः । It begins :
प्राणान्तं कृशोदरीणां वाम्बानयनान्तसज़खं । तेजस्तमालनीलं शरणागतवचपञ्जरं वन्दे ॥
