INTRODUCTION

fitted in with the section or sections in which he inserted them. He does not appear to have been very sound of memory, since he inserted as additional stanzas gāthās which had already occurred elsewhere in the collection in their appropriate places.
F: No. 565 of the L. D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad. 36 folios (72 pages of written matter). Hand-made paper. Size 10" x 4". 12-13 lengthwise lines on every page and about 40 letters in each line. Tolerably legible Nagari characters. Prakrit Text only. The MS. opens as follows :
ॐ नमः सर्वज्ञाय । विविहकइविरइयाओ गाहाओ बहुकुलाइ धित्तणं । एयं वजालग्गं विहिये जयवलहबुहेण ॥ इक्किक्के पत्थावे जत्थ परिसजति पवरगाहाओ । तं पि हु वज्जालभ्गं जयंतिय पदममणियन्वं ॥ एवं वज्जालमा सन्व जो पढइ अवसरे पत्ते । पाइयकव्वस्स कई सो होही
कित्तिमतोय ॥
This is followed by the गाह्रावज्जा, the first section called सोयारबज्जा being absent. The Ms. ends as follows:
विविह्कइविरइयाणं गाहाणं बहुकुलाइ गहिऊणं । रहयं वज्जाउलयं बुहेण जयवलहं नाम ॥ बिदा दिएण (?) य मुणिणा जयवलहेण णामेणं । रहयं वज्जलगं विहिये जयव लहं णाम ॥ इति जयवलहकृतं गाथाकोसं संपूर्णम् । श्रीरस्तु । शुभं भवतु लेखकवाचकयोः ।
This is followed by the EII stanzas printed on p. 5 of the present edition.
The following 15 sections are absent in the MS: किविण (60), उड्डू (61), रुद्द (63), ससय ( 65 ), बसंत (66), गिम्ह (67), पाउस (68), सरय · (69), हेमंत (70, सिसिर (71), जरा (72), महिला (73), पृव्वकयकम्म (74), ठाण (75), दोसिय (95).
The following additional sections are found in the MS.: सूअर ( = सूकर), सरह ( = शरभ ), immediately after the section on कण्ड (No. 62 in the vulgate ); पाालिया (= प्रपापालिका) immediately after the section on असई (No. 50 in the vulgate).
The sequence of the sections generally agrees with that in the vulgate, with the following exceptions :
(1) गुण, गुणणिंदा, गुणसलाहा and परिसानंदा (Nos. 76-79 in the vulgate) appear between नीइ (No. 8) and धीर ( No. 9).
(2) कमल and कमलनिंदा (Nos. 80 and 81 ) stand between सुरतरुविसेस and हंस (Nos. 27 and 28 ).
