9H ATT giay riunie 11 This St. is given in P. T. as St. 85. It is found only in 77 Ms. The smaller version also contains this St.
These points of the analysis of s. version as represented by: Dhruva on the basis of the scroll-text point out the following conclusions.
The Śtext represents the version as found in t. E. and 7. Mss. but again is influenced by another version as it has verses [ See points 10 and 12.] which are not found in any extant Mss. It is also influenced by version [ See points above 9 and 11. ). and also 37 version [ See point 14. ] Thus the s. text Ms. is the composite version of the extant versions of available Mss. and also a version for which a Ms. is not available. More light on this version can be thrown about the nature of this text, only when the scroll is published.
. I do not desire to enter into a discussion of Mss. , 0, 9= A, B. ( B. O. R. Institute Mss.) and ( Pāțaņa Ms.) which have already been described and discussed by Prof. Vyāsa and I agree with him in the conclusion of the theory of two versions of the yeah1971, one represented by 7, a, (and also the Ms. ut obtained by me), and the other repre-. sented by. (i. e. Pāțaņa Ms. ). The Ś version as analysed above points out the possibility of a third version. The fourth version which has been here brought to light, is the smaller version ( ggalaat) which is equallyold as its Ms. is dated 1574 V. S..
The smaller version ( sgalgar ) has a history of its own. It was cursorily examined by Maņilāl Bakorbhāi Vyāsa who was interested in the studies of Og: texts in the early days of this century. He found the Ms. of V. V. at the exhibition of old Mss. held at Surat. He copied out the Og. verses and sent them to the late Prof. K. H. Dhruva6 who had edited, the work in Sālāpatra. I came across the foolscape sheet written
