ORITICAL APPARATUR
Ms. is Vyākaraņa 565. It was copied in the Bengali year 1316 (=1908 A.D). There are numerous glosses of Prākrit and Sanskrit words. One important feature of this Ms. is that some explanations (=tākā) of some sūtras are found in the margin and these explanations are not found in any of the other manuscripts. All these tīkās are included in the text. Moreover, the beginning of this Ms. is exactly the same as we find it in Lassen's book. It has some new additions also. All these will be found in the beginning of the tikā of this text. This Ms. is no doubt a fair specimen of its class. There are some alight scribal errors in the matter of rendering Sanskrit words into Prākrit; and these matters have not been recorded in the foot-notes as variants. It begins with
eq* aut quote Il cfTcia a and ends with--faraatset aretes:..... alse17: 1A: 1 TEF5717790-980: 979 fuT' F1g? || (27 folio). The Prākrit grammar is upto folio 21a and the first line of 21b.
$ 9. 8.=This country-made paper manuscript, written in almost modern Bengali character, with usual method of topographical peculiarities wbioh can be inferred from the form of the letters and the quality of the paper, is also found in the Government Sanskrit College Library, Calcutta. It is written in black ink and bears the number Vyākaraṇa 716. It has 5 lines per page. It has 10 folios and is incomplete. It contains the Prākrit renderings of Sanskrit words found in the V?tti and Sanskrit renderings of Prākrit words found in the examples of the sütras. There are some marginal notes and explanatory statements (i. o., ţikā), and these have also been included in the text. These two tīkās of S and S, do not tally with each other in respect of explaining the sūtras, i.e., these two Mss. do not explain the same sūtras in the margin. The beginning of this Ms. is
_ नमो गणेशाय । समृद्ध्यादेरादिरदाद् वा ॥ and it extends upto the výtti
संस्कृतानुसारात् सुपा सह युष्मदस्मof the sūtra no. III. 58.
