24 Annual Report. [Feb. 



2. The KXla Viveka, by Jimuta Vahana, the author of the Daya- 

 bhaga. It is a treatise on appropriate times for religions ceremonies. 

 Its astronomical disquisitions are of great value, and it is accepted as 

 the leading authority on the subject it treats of. It will be edited by 

 Pandit Madhu Siidana Tarkaratna, a Professor of the Sanskrit College, 

 from several MSS. 



3. The YiVADA Ratnakara, a digest of the laws relating to Juris- 

 prudence. It is held in high repute. Some six or seven MSS. are 

 available, and the edition will be prepared by Pandit Dina Nath Nyaya- 

 ratna, a Professor of the Sanskrit College. 



4. The smaller commentaries of the Vedanta Sutra. There are 

 five of these : 1st, Vallabha Bhdshya, which expounds the system of 

 Epicurianism of the Hindus ; 2nd, Edmdnuja Bhdshya, which holds the 

 human soul to be a creation of the Divinity ; 3rd, Vishnu Bhdshya, which 

 holds that the human soul is a reflection of the Divine one ; 4th, Nemdrha 

 Bhdshya, which holds the human soul to be subordinate to the Divine 

 one, and 5th, the Mddhava Bhdshya, which teaches that the human soul 

 is essentially and eternally distinct from the Divine one. These different 

 theories have been all deduced from the Vedanta, and illustrate in a 

 remarkable manner the different phases of philosophical thought among 

 the Hindus. They are in fact protests against the theory of S'ankara. 

 All these five works are short ; but at present there are only in the 

 case of the two first mentioned sufficient MSS. available to proceed to an 

 edition. These two editions will be entrusted to Pandit Hema Chandra 

 Tarkaratna and Pandit Ramanatha Tarkaratna respectively. 



5. The Kala Madhavita of Madhava A'charya. This will form 

 a sequel to the same author's Parasara Madhava, which is now in course 

 of publication. It will be edited by Pandit Chandrakanta Tarkalankara, 

 from a large number of MSS. 



6. The YoGiNf Tantra, containing a history of Assam and Kuch 

 Bihar. It will be edited by Mr. G. A. Grierson, C. S., from six MSS. 



7. The Narada Smriti, one of the standard authorities on Hindu 

 Law. It is unique in interest, because no other Smriti is known to contain 

 equally copious rules on judicial procedure and civil law. It will be edited 

 by Professor J. Jolly, of Wiirzburg, from six good MSS. The text will be 

 accompanied by the commentary of Asakaya, as far as the latter goes. 



8. A Manu Tika Sangraha or Extracts from various old Commen- 

 taries on Manu's law-book, also by Professor J. Jolly of Wurzburg. 



9. The S'ankhatana S'rauta Sutra, to be edited by Professor A. 

 Hillebrandt of Breslau. 



10. Brahma Gupta's Karana Grantha, the so-called Khan da 

 Khadya, to be edited, with a translation and notes, by Dr. G. Thibaut.
