Temple Bhandâr at Cambay in Gujarata. FT The Kávyamálá edition in the third Guchha of the series
(A. D. 1887). It was based on two old incomplete manuscripts secured by Pundit Durgáprasada of Jaypore. This edition is incomplete, wanting in many verses in the middle and hopelessly incorrect after the 935th verse of the present edition. The last verse in the Kávyamálá Edition bears the pumber 927 which
corresponds to the 950th verse of the present edition. PTT This sign is used for some of the various readings noted
at the foot of the Kâvyamâlâ edition.
In collating all these manuscripts, all the important different readings not adopted are given at the foot, but some of them clearly incorrect have been also noticed simply to show, how and what sort of mistakes are committed by copyists through ignorance or want of practical knowledge.
The text having been thus edited after a careful consultation of all these valuable and old manuscripts, I think, I was fortunate to pitch upon the happiest reading possible in this standard edition of a classical work.

Some doubt, however, lingers only in the case of three verses viz, 684, 919 and 979. In the verse 82 facazes is the reading of , 77 of fagte of Tand Erice of FDI but a careful examination of the sense leads me to take far cos' as the true reading.
Before closing this notice about the manuscripts of the text of getthan it remains for me to add that to
