No. 16. F A|C7 (51975137:). RGVËDABHĀSYAM (VĒDĀRTHAPRAKÄSAII). Substance, palm-leaf. Size, 154 X 11 inches. Pages, 130. Lines,
8 on a page. Character, Grantha. Appearance, old. Injured. Incomplete. The well-known commentary by Sāyaṇācārya, the prime minister of Virabukka, the king of Vijayanagaram.
The commentary of the whole samhita of the Rgvida has been edited by Professor Max Müller; and the first chapter alone by Dr. Roer in the Bibl. Indica. The first three Adhyāyas only have been commented upon by Anandatīrtha in such a way that cach Rk is made to refer to god Vişnu, and that the name of every other dcity indicates that deity alono. Somo say that Anandatirtha wrote a commentary on the whole of the Samhita, but this opinion is opposed to the statement of Jayatirtha, who wrote a gloss on the Bhänya of Anandatirtha and says 'कासांचन ऋचां भाष्यं करिष्यन्नाचार्यः' “ the teacher going to comment upon a few rcas.”
One hundred and forty leaves in the beginning being lost, the manuscript begins from the 4th Rk of the 34th Varga of the 1st Adhyaya in the 1st Astaka, and ends with the 4th Rk of the 38th Varga of the 2nd Adhyâya in the same Aştaka.
