very order. The beginning of Sakhas with Paryaya evidences the same conclusion. The 13 additional Gotras &c. of the Ms. not found in P.T. are given below.

Both the texts are corrupt : many mistakes have crept in due to scribal negligence. When it is possible to build a fairly correct text in the light of literary sources noted below, it would be vain to tire out readers by giving VARIAE LECTIONES. But these differences in readings, in some cases, point to one fact that the list of Gotras has travelled different provinces of different dialects as can be inferred from phonetic changes. There are some cases where Kha and gha, tha and dha, da and la are interchanged. Names of some Gotras are altogether different in this Ms. In the absence of some more genuine Mss., I hav refrained myself from giving the details of textual discussions. However a printed list in Devanagari Characters, which would be of use to our Sastric friends also_is a desideratum.
Some remarks can be made on this list in comparison with the Brahmanic list; but at this stage it would be really a rash step when even our text is not definite.
Leaving out slight errors and differences in both the lists it is possible to have some general statements on the list of Sakhas, These errors can be checked in the light of original Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
