Present whereabouts are unknown. B is a MS from Bombay. Its form and the script used are not described. It contains a fragment of the text (1-129) with a Sanskrit commentary by Gangādhara (see also below, A, C and E). The text is a specimen of the so-called Vulgata. The MS was lent to Weber by G. Bühler. Weber, who erroneously considered it a copy especially made for him, entered it into the collection of the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin as MS or. quart. 557. Upon being notified of his error Weber sent it back to Bühler in Bombay. Lit.: Ed., p. XXXII; Retr., p. 346.
P. Berlin, Staatsbibliothek, MS or. quart. 365. MS or quart. 365 is a collation of 108 pages of a fragment (1-300) of the text of the so-called Vulgata together with extracts of the Sanskrit commentary by Pftāmbara, prepared in 1872 by R. Pischel of no. 7219, India Office Library, London. This original consists of 63 folios of glazed paper, measuring 9 1/2 by 6 1/8 inches, rather carelessly written in the Kannada script. It is undated but probably goes back to the nineteenth century. The Prākrit text and the Sanskrit commentary are complete up to Gathā 151 (folio 47). From Gāthā 229 (folio 59') there is either only
the Prākrit text of the Gathās or only the Sanskrit translation. :: Lit.: Catalogue of the Sanskrit and Prakrit MSS in the Library of the
