PREFACE. In this edition of the Taittiriya-Samhitá, the original is given in Samhitá and Pada texts along with Bhattabháskara's commentary. But the pada text of the 1st praśna of the káņda I. is given separately at the end of the praśna, as the insertion of the pada-pátha in this edition was only the outcome of an afterthought. In the pada-pátha, the text of each section (Anuváka) is marked off into sub-sections to facilitate reference to the commentary.
The following MSS. were used in the preparation of this edition of the commentary :7.-A. Grantha MS. of the Sarasvatí-Bhandára of His
Highness the Maharaja of Mysore, comprising . .. káņņas I–III and V-VII of the Samhitá. E.-A Telugu MS. containing the commentary on
káņda I. up to the 23rd anuváka of the 4th praśna. T.-A Telugu MS. obtained from Vizagapatam contain-.
ing the commentary on the first six praśnas of
kanda I.
E.--Another Grantha MS. belonging to the Sarasvati
Bhandára of His Highness the Maharaja of
Mysore. Very closely allied to . H.-A Grantha MS. copy of the commentary on káņda I. 1.- MSS. of the commentary belonging to the Palace
Library at Tanjore. To this volume is appended an edition of Káņďánukramaní, prepared from a MS. copy of the text and commentary belonging to the Government Oriental Library. Dr. Weber's edition of the same has also been consulted.
