The printed editions have been consulted only to check the omissions of the text. Each and every material has been scrutinised and judged from this angle of vision in order to make the text a useful one.

These Prākrit renderings are found in the marginal notes of ACC. 981 and in the footnotes of P. In this randering, some incorrect Prākrit forms or scribal errors are noticeable ;
