Interrelationship of Mss.
of the above described Mss. only ms. खं. is a palm-leaf ms.. it is fairly old, dated 1390 V. S. (i.e. 1434 A. D. ) and it is comparatively better than all the other Mss. A comparison of all Mss. shows that is the origioal and the other four Mss were possibly successively copied from or from. some mss. based on the same source as that of M. Mr. वा. dated 1486 V. S. ( i.e. 1430 A. D. ), is older than the other three. It contains lesser mistakes. Other three Mss are considerably late, datable in the 16th or 17th century and they are much more corrupt. Mss. वा. and मो. form a sub-group and so also Mss. कां. and ली.
