1889.] Annual Report. 33 



drakanta Tarkalankara, Professor, Sanskrit College, Calcutta. This is a 

 very different work from the Kusumanjali Karika edited some time ago 

 by Mr. E. B. Cowell. That work is in verse but this is entirely in prose. 

 The work is accompanied with the commentary entitled Prakdsa, by Vard- 

 dhamana, the commentary again being explained by extracts from the 

 gloss entitled Makaranda by Ruchidatta. This is a work of the highest 

 authority in the Nyaya School of Philosophy, having for its object the 

 determination of the nature of mukti. Nos. 6S9, 695, Fasc. I, II. Total 

 two fasciculi. 



15. ParasARA SiMriti, edited by the same learned professor, is the 

 text of Parasara as commented upon by the great Madhavacharya. The 

 first volume of the work treats of the Achdra Kdnda, and the second of 

 the Prdyaschitta Kdnda. The first volume has not yet been completed. 

 Nos. 649, 678, Fasc. VI, VII. Total two fasciculi. 



16. Samkhya Sutra Vritti, edited with indices by Dr. Richard 

 Garbe, Professor of Sanskrit in the University of Konigsberg, consists 

 of two rare commentaries of the Samkhya Aphorisms by Aniruddha and 

 Vedanti Mahadeva. Though the commentaries are not very old, yet 

 they throw much light on the history of the Samkhya Philosophy. Ani- 

 ruddha appears to be older than Vijiianabhikshu whose work in fact has 

 cast Aniruddha into the shade. Mahadeva is later than Vijiianabhikshu 

 and has made very good use of his work. The learned editor has given 

 only the original parts of Mahadeva's comments. No. 6S8, 692, Fasc. I, 

 II. Total tioo fasciculi. 



17. The first volume of Samkhayana S'rauta Sutra, edited by Dr. 

 Alfred Hillebrandt, of Breslau, containing the text and indices, has been 

 all but completed. The various indices of Vedic quotations are exceed- 

 ingly valuable. In the preface the learned editor says that the home 

 of the Sankhayanins was Northern Guzerat, and that the Sutras contain 

 a very large number of interpolations. In the second and subsequent 

 volume the editor intends to publish the commentaries to the work. 

 No. 667, Vol. I, Fasc. VI. Total one fasciculus. 



18. S'ri' Bhashtam, a Vaishnava commentary on the Vedanta 

 Aphorisms of Vadarayana by Ramanuja, edited by Pandit Ramnath 

 Tarkaratna. The peculiar doctrine taught by Ramanuja, a great 

 teacher who appeared in Southern India in the thirteenth century, 

 is what is called the Visishtadvaitavada, a peculiar form of Advaita- 

 vada. No. 658, Fasc. I. Total one fasciculus. 



19. Tattva Chintamani, edited by Pandit Kamakhyanath Tarka- 

 vagisa, is the standard work on the Nyaya philosophy in the Schools of 

 Mithila and Bengal. It was composed about 500 years ago by Gangcso- 

 padhyaya, and is a complete work on the various logical proofs. It is
