as a supplement to his monumental work. I have taken notice of the readings of Prof. Jacobi's text and my Ms. in the notes, only in such cases where the understanding of the text is vitally concerned. The glossary is selective and its unnecessary enlargement is strictly avoided. I have also sub-joined brief Sanskrit comments, specially taking note of Des'i words and intricate evolutes. The introduction will deal with the problems such as the name of the work, the life of Haribhadra with discussion on his date, the summary of the two chapters, its language, style etc.
2. The Name of the Work. The preset work is popularly known as Samarãicca-kahã or the life-history of Samaraicca. But it seems that Haribhadra intended to style it as Samarãicca-cariya while he says,
नवपुत्वभवनिबद्धं संवेगकरं च भव्वसत्ताणं ।
चरियं समराइञ्चस्सऽवन्तिरमो सुणह वोच्छं ॥ In another reference, he writes,
वोच्छं तप्पडिबद्धं भवियजणाणंदथारिणं परमं ।
संखेवभो महत्थं चरियकहं तं निसामेह ॥
Again at the end of the work he also refers the work as चरिय.
