The present copy of S has numerous marginal additions which indicate that it was compared with one or more other MSS. E.g. 61 samāniãin, sa samāpiāith (cf. B), 50 jura, s2 juvara (cf. Bh, R), 120 mārueņa (cf. K), sa mārueh it (cf. We B, Y, P), 184 manqusamuppanneņa (cf. K), s? mannusamuppāena (cf. , Y, P), and 441 a(9) ghissaṁ (cf. Bh, R, Ti, Tp), accissan (cf. W, Y, T).
23 Saptaśat Tsara with Bhavad Tpikā of Vema Bhupala, along with the Chappannaya-Gahão (text and chāyā), ed. by A. N. Upadhye, Shivaji University Sanskrit and Prakrit Series Vol. III, Kolhapur, 1970. The book 'has unfortunately not been available to me. See also Saptaśattsāra, ed. by D. V. Sitaramaswamy (with Telugu translation), Andhra University, Waltair, 1951, mentioned in Sriramamurti (1972: 68).

As for the two recensions no certain dates are available, theoretically also the reverse may be assumed, namely that they themselves were the first kośas thus arranged and that they set the standard to be followed in all subsequent kośas. It is unlikely, though, that they did indeed excercise such an influence, considering the rarity and geographical limitations of the occurrence of the MSS containing these two recensions.
