124 Sanskrit Works under publication. [AUG., 



2. The Tantra Vdrtiha. This is a work similar to the preceding 

 one, and refers to the Mimamsa doctrine. It is likewise highly esteemed, 

 and several MSS. of it are accessible. It will be edited by Pandit Mahesa 

 Chandra Nyayaratna, Principal of the Sanskrit College, as soon as he 

 has completed his edition of the Mimamsa text. 



3. The Kdla Viveka, by Jimuta Vdhana, the author of the Daya- 

 bhaga. It is a treatise on appropriate times for religious 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. 



4. The Vivdda Batndkara, 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 Natha STyaya- 

 ratna, a Professor of the Sanskrit College. 



5. 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, Bdmdnuja 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 first two 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. 



6. The Matsyd Purana, which will form a sequel to Dr. R. Mitra's 

 edition of the Vayu Purana which is now nearly finished. It will be 

 edited by Pandit Hrishi Kesa Bhattacharya, a Professor of the Sanskrit 

 College. 



7. The Kosha Mddhaviya of Mddhava Achdrya. 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 Tarkalankar, 

 from a large number of MSS. 



8. The Yogini Tantra, containing a history of Assam and Kiich 

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