(7) A MS. of the Astasdhasrikd Prajndpdramitd examined by Mahamahopadhyaya 

 Hara Prasada Sastrl in 1893. " The work is on palm-leaves pressed between two 

 wooden boards, with sticks inserted through holes in place of strings. One of the 

 boards is besmeared with sandal paste, which has accumulated there for ages. The 

 MS. was evidently an object of worship, and as Prajhaparamita is also called Raksha- 

 Bhagavati, it appears to have been regarded as a charm for protection against evils. 

 The MS. was copied in the 38th year of Govindapala, who is styled Gauresvara, i.e. 

 the year 1198 a.d. 2
