Pothikhna of Jaipur: Khas-Muhar / 347
Manuscripts and books collected during Sawai Madho Singh II (1880-1922 A.D.) and Sawai Man Singh (1922-1970) will be discussed in the Pothīkhānā : Collection of manuscripts and printed books, as the major part falls in the category of printed books.
The paper is being concluded at this point with a remark that though the Catalogue of the Khāsmuhar collection is published, it is in index form. If the collection is properly studied subjectwise, the late medieval period ideas may be retraced and will help in understanding the cultural and scientific life.
