consist zi five pravahas (currents), 476 vicis (waves) and 
2,380 verses, at five to each vici (vide so colophon at the end). 
But the three MSS. I have examined actually contain 474 vicis, 
2,363 verses. Two vicis have, in. fact, es omitted in the second: 
avaha, and less than five verses quoted in I,.95 (4), IL. 3 (4), 
TT. 129 (3), IV. 21 (4), IV. 68 (3) and V. 25 (4). Each verse

charge of a Maha mandala). The work bears a ample testimony to 
his taste and industry. Nearly two thousand four hundred verses 
have been compiled from morethan four hundred and fifty authors, 
culture with formation of libraries. Without his compilation it 
would have been impossible to write this font of Bengal writers.
