planned critical edition of the Tika will establish.
They agree in reading the Tikā phrase as I have accepted it in this study, except for the redundant writing of va in E6 and the presence of te in the place of ti in E4, E21, and E25. The last variation does not make any significant difference. Tilinga and Telinga are wellattested names of the same Telangaṇā region.
The manuscripts designated E2, E17, E18, E19, and E26 by Rau do not contain the required portion. Rau's E12 is a modern transcript of E2. E9a did not somehow come to Rau's notice but was made available to me at the library of the Sanskrit College in Calcutta.
16. (a) I have not yet had time to determine which, if any, of the manuscripts accessible to me Manavallī followed in his editio princeps of the Vakya-kāṇḍa-ṭīkā. It is possible that, as a nineteenth-century pandit, he showed preference for the Sanskrit-sounding form trilinga over the Prakrit or desya-sounding forms tilinga and telinga. (b) trilinga is noticed elsewhere as a variant of tilinga (see note 18cd). Its acceptance would not affect the subsequent discussion in this study.
17. For a critical examination of the other aspects of
Thieme's view, see Aklujkar (1986).
18. (a) This spelling is according to the National Atlas of India. The spellings "Telingana," "Telengana," etc., are also noticed.
(b) For information on Tilinga or Telangana, see Raychaudhuri in Yazdani 1960:27-29; Sircar 1960:16, 71, 75-76, 88, 89; Gupta 1973:37; and Schwartzberg 1978:137, maps a and b; 38, map b; 39, map c; and 100, map a.
