In Professor Valentine Zhukovski’s edition of the Asrar’ut 
Tauhid fi Maqamat’ish Shaykh Abi Sa‘id the latter Quat- 
rain is the same as in the B. M. Manuscript; only the former 
has gy Ula for o%,s dea yoit of the latter.

The position of the lines is reversed in B.M. thus :—

The first line (with (8b , US) is nice, but the second line 
(with sof .,0,$ 1%») has a far-fetched meaning.
