(The usual abbreviations of journals like BSOAS, JAOS, JAS, JRAS, WZKSOA are too well known to be included here.)
While referring to the text of the MNA as edited in Germany, we use the Roman numerals I to VIII to denote the number of a chapter. An asterisk (*) is added to the number of a verse if the verse is numbered in the edition, otherwise it precedes the number supplemented by us. $ is prefixed to the number of a prose passage. Thus, e. 1.91.1 (om namo titthassa...) or 1.1* (uvasante ...) on p.18 of MNSt.B. V.811 (p.190,line 39) (se bhayavam affhanham sähúņam asaim ussaggeņa va ...) refers to MNSt.B,p.190, line number is added here (in italics) because 811 though of considerable length is not further sub-divided.
• Similarly we use -an isterisk or $ to characterize verses or prose passages respectively which are cited from other Prakrit or Sanskrit texts.
Printing mistakes in all publications are corrected silently.
