Division. 5 Lessonl. ]. As to the style of painting, I may refer the reader to the publication of the Gujarati Translation of Nayadhammakaba by Pundit Bechardas Jivaraj Dosi where ia the beginning the picture of Meha's harem is given, in the very form and colours as those in the Ms. itself, which belongs to the same group as our Ms. This Ms. does not belong to the group of B. C. as the study of its readings cited below in our text will show. The Ms. contains 19 leaves. The colophon अट्ठमं अगं सम्मत्तं ॥ छ । ग्रंथाप्रं ७९० ॥छ॥ शुभं भवतु ॥छ॥ कल्याणमस्तु ॥छ | is not any way informative.
Ms. B. 103x+t in. Leaves. 22. Lerubhai Vakil's Bhandar, Patan Box No. 4. Ms. No. 19: seems to be the copy of C. looking to the readings and even similarities in faults with C. C. is certainly older than B. The colophon is like that of A. uninformative.
Ms. C. 111x51 in. Leaves 19. Lerubhai Vakil's Bhandar, Box. 6. 36. Patan. It has the colophon: ग्रंथाओं ७९० । शुभं भवतु ॥ श्रीश्रमणसंघस्स ॥ कल्याणमस्तु । संवत् १५५४ वर्षे शाके १४१९ प्रवर्तमाने प्रतिपदातिथौ चंद्रवारे अहिपुरे पं० श्रीसुविहतसिरश्चक्रधूडामणिकोविदसाधुरत्नशिष्यतपोरत्नेनांतगडसूत्रमलेखि । यादृशं पुस्तकं दृष्टवा तादृशं लिखितं मया। यदि शुखमशुद्धं बा मम दोषो न दीयते ॥ १ ॥
