82 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [N.S., XII, 



song is given p. 101, and it contains only six and a half stanzas 

 in the following order : 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3. 



P : A MS. of Phutakara gita belonging to Carana Asiyo 

 Pabu Dana of Bhadiyavasa. Also about 100 years old. The 

 song, which is given p. 12a, contains only the four stanzas 

 following : 1, 2, 4, 5. 



R : A MS. containing the poems of Sadu Maid and other 



miscellaneous songs, belonging to Carana SUdu Rama Pratapa 



of Bhadoro. About 200 years old. The song is given pp. 107& 



108a, and it contains only the five stanzas following : 1,2, 3, 

 4, 5. 



In the text, which is given below, I have restored to 



their original form all the words which I have found to have 



been modernized in the MSS. The song was composed three 



hundred years ago, and it was, of course, composed in an 



;haic form of Dingala, not in the Dinga]a of the present day. 



^THf^f, ^rqx 



have corrected ^nsr into Klfm, ^ into *f%, ^f *TO into 



into vr?X etc. This will not be approved by the 



Caranas and scholars in Rajputana, but I could not allow my- 

 self to deviate from the most elementary canon in philology, 

 according to which any literary work that is to be edited, 

 should be presented in the same form in which it was originally 

 composed by its author.
