I told Wopke that the advice of Babu Rajendralala Mitra would 
in many instances be of great use to him in identifying Sanskrit 
terms, and I hope he will apply to him, if he should need it. 
If you should not succeed in finding a sufficiently good copy of the 
Tabakati Nasiry, you might publish Cywly99 wrel. It is a poem 
which has been translated from the Pehlewy by Nitzamy ’Aridhy. 
There is a copy, I believe an unicum, in your Library. It was com- 
plete, but the book-binder finding it troublesome to mend the leaves 
has thrown away some. I should not mind this defect but publish it as 
itis. As far as I can judge, it is, after the Shahnama, the most im- 
portant work in Persian literature. As it contains a very great num- 
ber of obsolete words, care must be taken that it is not modernized 
by a native editor. The labour of editing is not great, there is only 
one copy, and consequently no MSS. have to be collated, and the 
original is beautifully written. All that is necessary is to compare 
earefully the proof-sheets with the original, you would therefore 
have little expense on this account. 
I talked to Mohl regarding the publication of Ramyn and Ways, and 
he agrees with me in recommending it as one of the most useful works.” 
Dr. Weber writes to Mr. Cowell, dated Berlin, April 9th. 
“T have to thank you for your edition of the Kaushitaki-Upanishad, 
and the Society for the continuation of the splendid series of the 
Bibliotheca Indica (Nos. 175—185, new series 14—80) and of its 
Journal (Nos. 1—4 of 1861 and of 1862). 
The difference of the texts of the Kaushitaki-Upanishad, and the 
curious state of its wording in several places, is a very interesting 
fact. Vindyaka in his commentary to Sankhay. (= Kaushitaki) 
br4hmana V. 5 quotes the first two chapters of the Aranyaka (which 
are closely followed in our MS., Chambers 6770 Ey the Upanishad) as 
the 31st and 82nd Ange aya of a brahmana : agqutet qafeanalsue- 
SISA BAG UAH Canaateteasiad weretafeta : 
the adas of the text certainly refers to the Somasya mahdvratam 
as a later part of the work. On the other hand Varadattasuta 
Anartiya in his commentary to the S/ankhay-S/rauta Stitra 18,15, 1 
quotes them by the title Aranyaka: awmawaaae qaxcuwala 
aarecin Hata afau:. Both commentators quote several times a 
Mahd Kaushitaki brahmana. Anartiya tells us (at 14, 2, 8) that the
