43 states the total number of verses in the Rigveda to be 10580 and one pâda 2.
44: the number of half-verses is 21232 [=106141]; of the padas, 153,826.
45: of the karkåpadas, 110,704. The last line gives the number of the syllables as 432,000,
The six MSS. collated by me for the Anuvâkânukramani are:(1) W1, (2) C, both already described.
(3) C1, a MS. belonging to the Royal Library of Berlin (No. 1405 in Weber's new Sanskrit Catalogue), contains the Anuvákânukramani with Shadgurusishya's commentary, followed by that writer's introduction to his Vedarthadipika. It consists of 7 leaves, and is dated A. D. 1525 (Samvat 1582). The commentary in this MS. is more correct than in W 1, but it is no better than that MS. in Shadgurusishya's introduction. It begins, श्रीविश्वेश्वराय नमः । अथ गद्यात्मक (sic) अनुवाकानुक्रमणिका लिख्यते । and the comm. to the Anuvakánukramari ends, इत्यनुवाकानुक्रमणी समाप्ता । संवत् १५७२ वर्षे लिपितमस्ति । श्रीविश्वेश्वरार्पणमस्तु ॥
