CRITICAL NOTES ON KALHANA'S EIGHTH TARANGA.
BY E. HULTZSCH. The subjoined list forms tha continuation of my "Critical Notes on Kalhana's Seventh Tarangu" in Vol. XL. of this Journal (p. 97 ff.). It is concerned with verses 1-1500 of the last Taranga (VIII.) of Kalhana's BAjatarangini and registers those readings of my ancient Sârada MS. (M) which are either preferable to those of Sir Aurel Stein's edition or worth consideration. The abbreviations are the same as before (Vol. XL. p. 97), but the two MSS. P and E were not at hand during the preparation of this list. In M the following verses of the passage VIII, 1-1500 are preserved either in full or partially :-1-24, 733-1369, and 1495-1500, while the leaves containing verses 25-732 and 1370-1494 are lost. It will be observed that, wherever M is available for comparison, it becomes possible to correct some details of the published text. Every student of the eighth Taranga is therefore recommended to consult this list when using Sir Aurel Stein's excellent edition and translation of Kalhana's chronicle.
