MAY, 1892.] ANOTHER INSTALMENT OF THE BOWER MANUSCRIPT.

muktds ; f. 3al chanunayishyasi for chanunayishyasi; fl. 3a1 *vrittischa for vritt&s=cha; fl. 3a1 # na for na; f. 3a6 sarvvaritha for saruvatha ; A. 3a6 • saméshyasi for saméshyati; A. 3a7 sahayes for sahayais; A. 4a2 karané for kúpané (here shown by the metre); A. 4aya for yd; A. 5b4 dharmma for dharmmarh; A. 5b+ vandhás-cha for vandhánh=g=cha. Those cases, however, which are marked with an asterisk, may also be due to the anomalous character of the language.
Occasionally the scribe noticed a mistake and corrected it by interlinear insertions in minute and hastily drawn letters. Thus in fl, 3a4 na sanhiayá, Al. 4a3 api, f. 4a6 si cha, f. 593 bha are added interlinearly. Ordinary corrections, by alterations of already written letters occur; e.g., in in f. 27, 5b3 and elsewhere.
The language of the manuscript in the early extra-scholastic Sanskrit of NorthWestern India with all its usual anomalies in orthography, grammar, prosody and vocabulary. Of these I have noted the following instances :
1. In Orthography: spelling: Al. 1b5 singha for sinha, A. 2a6 avi for api, fl. ta3, 5al, &c. dukkha for duhkha: confusion of sibilants; f. 24 samánvitá for samánvita.
