________________ INTRODUCTION. of the Ms. of Yohiprâptilakshanam.* The Sûtras are the same as those commented upon by Trivikrama, Lakshmidhara, and Simharaja. They are attributed to Vâlmiki, author of the Râmâyana. Since the opening verses embody a salutation to Vâlmiki, the verses cannot be taken to have been composed by Vâlmiki himself, and the concluding portion in which the Sûtras are attributed to Vâlmiki cannot be taken to be a decisive proof of the Sûtras being composed by the well-known Vâlmiki. But Lakshmidhara's positive statement as to the authorship of the Sûtras and the beginning and the end of the Ms. lend a strong support to the presumption that the Sûtras are traditionally believed to be the composition of a sage Valmiki. *Vide No. 943, p. 680 of R.
