1902.] Annual Report. 37 



comes from beyond India. It belongs to the Kbalipas of Baghdad. 

 The third belongs to the Toghlaq Dynasty of Delhi. Most of the silver 

 coins belong either to the Moghuls or to the independent Muhammadan 

 Dynasties who preceded the Moghuls. One of them, however, is of 

 peculiar interest. It belongs to Asala Pala, a Hindu king of Kabul, 

 who must have flourished before the Ghaznavites established their rule 

 in that country. The copper coins are not of much importance. Three 

 of the copper coins are dated. They all, however, belong to a very late 

 date. 



Bibliotheca Indica. 



Twenty-four Fasciculi have been published during the year at a 

 cost of Rs. 10,099-11-2. Of this sum the printing charges amounted 

 to Rs. 5,926-14 and the editing charges Rs. 4172-13-2. The average 

 cost of publishing each fasciculus being Rs. 420. Of these 24 fasciculi, 

 22 fasciculi belong to the Sanskrit, two to the Arabic-Persian series 

 and none to Tibetan. No work has come to a close during the year. 

 These 24 fasciculi belong to 14 different works. The following is a 

 description of the three new works taken in hand, all being in the 

 Sanskrit series. 



1. Advaita Cinta-kaustubha by Mahadevananda Yati, a work 

 belonging to the non-dual school of Vedanta philosophy. It was com- 

 posed in the 18th century and it embodies the latest development of the 

 non-dual theory. It is being edited by Baba Girindranath Dutta, B.A., 

 Superintendent, Hatwa Raj. The work is accompanied with a com- 

 mentary, — an old and authentic one which has the rare merit of really 

 elucidating the text. 



2. Varsa-kriyakaumudi — by Govindananda Kavikaqkanncaryya, 

 under the editorship of a young pandit of Bhatpara, named Kama! 

 Krsna Smptibhusana. The importance and usefulness of the works 

 on Hindu Law and Ritual, which preceded Raghunandana's codification 

 in the 16th century, in the eye of scholars and anthropologists can 

 scarcely be overrated. The Society was anxious for a long time 

 to collect MSS. of such works and they have succeeded in this to 

 a great extent. They have discovered several old codes. Of these 

 Govindananda' s code, complete in four parts, is often quoted by Raghu- 

 nandana and his school. It gives a complete review of all the Rituals 

 to be observed during the course of a year. The Council of the Society 

 therefore, proposed to publish it. It was also proposed to infuse new 

 blood in the editorial staff of the Bibliotheca Indica series, and a young 

 Pandita from Bhatpara has been chosen.
