viii Digitized by Madhuban Trust PREFACE. (c) paśusūtra, on 16 leaves, by the same hand as (a), on the same kind of paper; Śake 1673. (d) cāturmāsya, on 17 leaves, by the same hand as (a) and (c) and on the same kind of paper; Śake 1660. (e) cayanasūtra, 22 leaves; Śake 1803. (f) vājapeya, on 9 leaves, well written, no year, corrected. (g) rājasūya, on 12 leaves, written by the same hand and on the same kind of paper as (f). (h) iṣṭikalpa, on 14 leaves, Śake 1803; same hand and kind of paper as (e). (i) aśvamedha, on 15 leaves, well written, apparently by the same hand as (f) and (g); corrected. (k) dvādaśāha, on 16 leaves, corrected. (l) mahāvrata, etc., called at the end: एकारबौख्यं on 17 leaves; the numbers of the khaṇḍas are corrected so as to continue the numbering of (k); apparently written, together with (k), by the same hand that wrote (f), (g), and (i); partly corrected. (m) kāṭhakasūtra, on 8 leaves; same handwriting and paper as (e) and (h). (n) uttarā tatiḥ, on 41 leaves, well written, but containing a very corrupted tradition, just as B; happily the greater part of this MS. has been carefully corrected. The khaṇḍa-numbers have been partly effaced. (o) dvaidhasūtra, on 63 leaves, śamamtaṃ (sic) 1825. Rather badly written. (p) first karmānta praśna, on 23 leaves, presents several lacunæ. (q) second and third karmānta praśnas, on 38 leaves; the second praśna has been carefully corrected; the third is very corrupted and full of lacunæ. (r) śulbasūtra, on 17 leaves. (s) pravarasūtra, on 7 leaves, written by the same hand as (e). This valuable collection will be seen to contain a nearly com- plete Baudhāyana Sūtra. Missing are the soma-, pravargya-, aupānuvakya-, and prāyaścitta praśnas. On every part the number of the praśna (here called adhyāya) is written; some- times the number found in the original handwriting is corrected. This (secondary) numbering of Benares 115 agrees wholly with the numbering of the praśnas in B. 3. H, belonging to the Court and State Library at Munich, registered as: MS.
