________________ INTRODUCTION 23 which has many stanzas that are found nowhere else except in D. BORI 328 was the oldest dated Bhartrhari MS known in India, of samvat 1617 - A. D. 1619-1, prsthamātrās being used throughout. Only the last two ślokas of the 8 (which ended at 102 or 103) are preserved. To calculate from the l'emaining folios, the lost N and the Ś were of normal length, as in D. On the other hand the last few of the 124-stanza V of our Pt parallel the corresponding stanzas of BORI 328 exactly. Finally, the single foliu preserved of ISM Gore 144 [from an anthology that contained at least a V, of 194 stanzas, followed by the Carpatapañjarī) gives some stanzas that appear only in the V of GVS 2387. Version E: The Dhanasāra version. Commonest among N MSS, with a popularity which results in wide variation and generally corrupt copies. The Jain commentator Dharrasāra cannot be dated from the pontifical rolls of the Upakeśagaocha [R. Hoernle: Indian Antiquary XIX, 1890, pp. 233-242] where the name of his guru Siddhasuri recurs in a triadic cycle. Muni Jinavijayaji finds from the colophon of a MS of the Santināthacaritra in the Singhi collection at Calcutta that Dhanasāra's pupil's pupil wrote in samvat 1628 - śaka 1493 = A. D. 1571. From the prasasti in MS 1074 of this tīkā in Śri Hamsavijayaji Mahārāja Jain Bhāņdār at Baroda, it would appear that Dhanasara wrote it at Jaipur in Samvat 1535, making him the oldest known Bhartyhari commentator. Though the comment is perfunctory, its influence can easily be traced. Because of its interest as a specimen of colloquial Jain Sanskrit, I have edited the version and commentary separately, and hope to publish the work elsewhere. In the first five of the following MSS, the commentary runs consecutively with the text. Eo=BORI 795/1886-92; size 10" x 4-1/4"; fol. 18 + 17 + 18, 1. 15, let. 50. Dated 1688 May 10, March 26, April 1, rather corrupt.

N and Ś only. Size 10" x 4-1/2", fol. 41 = 20+21; 1. 15, let. 50-52. Corrected, old enough to belong to the 16th century. N. 36 [ 32 ] = mrgamina thrust by mistake into the commentary. The readings form a subgroup of E with BORI 382/1884-87. E2= Baroda 1370; size 10-1/2" x 5-3/4"; fol. 48, l. 18-20, let. 42-55. Dated 1793 April 28. Contaminated with H readings. At least one folio in the middle of the must have been missing in original before copyist, to judge from the disturbed text. Extra stanzas at the end of Ś agree precisely with BM 284, with which this must be taken to form another E subgroup. Colophon: इति श्रीभर्तृहरिशतकं संपूर्ण सवृत्तिकं ग्रन्थाग्रन्थसर्व २५६९ श्रीरस्तु. संवत् १८५० मिति प्रथमवैशाखे कृष्णपक्षे द्वितीया तिथौ भृगुवासरे लि० सीतारामेण । लिखापितं यति डुंगरसीजी स्वार्थे. ES = Baroda 1780; size 10-5/8" x 4-5/8"; fol. 48 [1st 2 missing l; 1. 18-19, let. 48. Dated 1763 March 18. Lapses like the two preceding into an occasional use of Prethamātrās. Text readings tend to form another E subgroup with Es, but some aberrant readings agree with I.
