Appendix 1
I was aware of the second Ms. in the Deyaśā Pādā. Bhandāra, Ahmedabad. But while I searched for the Mss. of V. V. I could find only one Ms. on account of the incomplete state of catalogue and unsatisfactory arrangement of Mss. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of Mahārāja Sri Punyavijayaji that now the Bhaņdāra is organised and proper cataloguing is done. He came across this Ms. and showed it to me. I got the photostat copy of the Ms. from him, To give the idea of the Ms. I have given the block of the first and the last page. The colophon does not give any information about the date but the Ms. belongs to the 16th century on the basis of script and some other peculiarities such as changing of postposition Tes into 73, writing 9 and a etc. The text does not differ from the P. T. very much but as there being very little scriptal and scribal corruption, the text of this Ms. helps at many places the clarification of textual interpretation by giving correct textual readings. Below I give the readings of the Ms. text. I have refrained from noting the corruptions in writing Sk. verses as readings and have satisfied myself if the Sk.
St. is the same as one in P, T. I have carefully noted the readings of the Og. stanzas.
( The readings of Ms. 7– the second new Ms. of the Devasa-Pādā's Bhaņņāra, Ahmedābād. ]
The Ms. begins with 1 o I la. atalasta; 1.b. 519; atlèfo.
The numbering fs serially given without distinction between Og. and Sk. verse. e. g. TEMË wala etc. is numbered || 1; and next Sk, verse 31 Segar etc. is numbered || 2 and so on. P. T. Og. verse 51. Ff 345 He afety etc. is numbered 1 100; The enumeration then begins with
1 1; and the last Og. verse is numbered 161, which means serially altogether there are 161 verses in the text.
2. The Sk. stanza is agar etc. 3a. feratia; fem g auft asia Fest; 3b. Faha 9823; falet sia. 5a. fots lēnia ada fost; 4b wyfeat. Sc. ağla; 5d. adalettel. 8c. €7779&TITY.
