1743 sadhanam, prarocanā iti vimarsa-sandhāv api trayodaśangani. (NS. has 'vidravah' after 'sampheța'. Bhoja reads it in the beginning.
For ‘kāntiḥ' NS. has 'dyutih' which is read in his further treatment by Bhoja.
Bhoja reads : "višeşanam, dyutih, prasādaḥ, ānanam, samayaḥ, upagūhanam, bhāṣaṇam, pūrva-vākyam, vākya-samhāraḥ, praśastir ityādi, nirvahana-sandhau caturdaśāngāni.
Bhoja has an interesting remark at the end - (pp. 505) - saisā sandhyangacatussaștir nāțakā"dişu mahākavyā"dișu ca pūrņa-sandhyā"dişu nibandhanīyāni.
prati-sandhi ca yāny angāni pathitāni tāyatām eva kramena nibandhah kārva ity esa pracurah prayogah, samvidhāna-vaśāc ca, nyūnádhika-bhāvena, vyutkramena ca prayoga ity etad apy avagantavyam iti.
It may be noted that while attempting definition of individual sandhyanga, Bhoja follows, mostly, the sequence and definitions as given in the NS. At times variants read in the foot-notes in the NS. are read by Bhoja in the body of his text. This we will try to clear in the comparative table to be given by us at the end of this treatment. One thing emerges clearly that Josyer has not taken care to correlate the names of sandhyanga-s read in Bhoja first in enumeration and then in definitions and illustrations.
Dr. Raghavan has ignored the '54 - text of the G.O.S. while publishing his magnum opus "Bhoja's Śr. Pra.", for reasons best known to him, for it is absolutely clear that the G.O.S. Edns present better readings and better foot-notes showing variants, as compared to the edn.s of the NS. consulted by Dr. Raghavan. This is very sad. The G.O.S. Edn. was available to Dr. Raghavan but he chose to ignore the same to his own disadvatage.
Now we will quote from Dr. Raghavan at length, but a most interesting and comparative study of Bhoja and the A.bh. has to be attempted by us in near future, but not at this moment. We will try to indicate something in this direction in the table showing comparative details later.
Dr. Raghavan writes : (pp. 593; Bhoja's Śr. Pra., ibid) - (We do not know which edn. Dr. Raghavan is referring to. We have only Josyer's Edn. with us. But we will keep the page numbers as mentioned by Dr. Raghavan as they are while quoting from him) :
"The Sixty-four sandhyangas : Bhoja deals with the 64 sandhyanga-s on pp. 490-524. The section opens with a few verses on the Sandhyanga-s in general, their
