II vol., p. 180—182, No. 1610 (=MS. or fol. 741). I first used a beautiful photograph of this MS. taken by Professor Count F. L.

1956. K.--Fol. 98 x 15 1. x 53 aksh. This MS. bears no date,
but it seems to be old. The MSS. A, E, P and K. have been procured and kindly lent me by Vakil Keshavlal Premchand B.A. LL.B., of Ahmedabad. I have much pleasure in publicly aknowledg ing my indebtedness to him for his unselfish endeavours in the interest of this work. My best thanks are due, besides, to the authorities of the Berlin Library for lending me MS. B, and especially to my teacher Professor Dr. Hermann Jacobi, who not only lent me his MS. and afforded me an opportunity of comparing the above mentioned MSS. of the Deccan College Library, but also, by his advice and assistance, most effectually aided me in preparing the text of this edition.
