complete glossary, as Bollée did with the Pında-nıryuktı and the Oha-nıryuktı, or with an ample selection of important words, as he himself did in the case of small Nijuktis on the earlier canonical texts The BKBh being still verginal territory so far, he has once more opted for this third approach to start work on it Prof Bollée has further pointed out that glossanes of this kind may, on the one hand, serve as an index rerum and a complement to the table of contents, on the other, they can provide the new Dictionary of the Prakrit Languages appearing in Pune and the supplements of Turner's Comparative Dictionary of the Indo-aryan Languages with new words, wordforms and references, and thus may indirectly also be useful for the etymological references in dictionaries of modern Indian languages In the case of the text, although Prof Bollée has taken it to serve mainly as a reference, it was metrically checked and a number of emendations were made, but minor variants like ve u/o, n/n, ya- and ta-sruti have not been considered Further, various parallels were added from other texts which happened to have at least pratīka-indices, viz Nisītha-bhāsya, Nuryuktı-samgraha, Višesāvasyaka-bhāsya, and Pravacana-sāroddhāra.
