on the Sanskrit Manuscripts in Madras. 81 



Vol. I, 12, Vyayogacya natacam (read Vyayogakhya nata- 

 kam) where the proper title Narakasuravadha has been 

 omitted. Vyayoga is the generic name of a class of dramas. 



Vol. I, 93 and 140 we read, " No. 1882 Siddhanta kaum- 

 udi vyakyanam, by Praudha manoramai" (read manorama). 

 Here the title of this commentary on the Siddhantakauni- 

 udi, Praudhamanorama, has been mistaken for the author's 

 name. The author is Bhattojidixita, who commented on 

 his own work, the Siddhanta-kaumudi. 



Vol. I, p. 67, Mr. Taylor makes the extraordinary state- 

 ment, that the " Taittiriya-samhita, relates to the Yajurve- 

 dam" (read veda, masc.) The fact is that the Taittiriya- 

 samhita is the first part of the Black Yajur-Veda. 



In Vol. I, 114, No. 1893 and p. 118, No. 1898-1900, p. 116 

 No. 1828, the term Nyaya is constantly translated by 

 " knowledge or wisdom," though it never has this meaning, 

 and in these titles apparently signifies " Nyaya philosophy." 



Vol. I, 199, 1. 6 f. a., Vicishtadvaita is translated "almost 

 advaita." It means the doctrine of unity (advaita) with 

 attributes (vicishta). 



Vol. I, 115, No. 1900 " Nyayadipaprabha (prabha), torch 

 of knowledge (?) being a commentary on a work entitled 

 Sashadhara, or the " hare-bearing moon — on logic." Here 

 we have another quid pro quo. Sashadhara, or more cor- 

 rectly (Ja^adhara, j s name of an author, who wrote a 

 book entitled Nyayaclipa or Nyayacastradipika, A com- 

 mentary on this work is named Nyayadipaprabha, illustra- 

 tion of the Nyayadipa. This fault is so much less pardon- 

 able as Mr. Taylor himself states all this correctly on p. 

 Ill, No. 1901. 



Before concluding this list of specimens Mr. Taylor's 

 Sanskritic attainments, the reader's attention should be 

 directed to a passage in the " Introduction" to the article 

 Veda, where the Rev. gentleman gives some specimens of
