 a. Palm-leaf Manuscripts. 



The following manuscripts are portions of a version of the Maka- 

 hhdrata, 



Adi-parvamu, or the first book of the Bhdratam, No. 1.— Counter^ 

 mark 161. 



This copy contains from the beginning down to the 241st palm-leaf, 

 •without intermediate defect ; but all the remainder is wanting. The 

 manuscript is very old : the hand writing somewhat antique ; and the 

 leaves are damaged, in several places, by the eating away of the edges | 

 so that portions of the nearest line have words eaten out.
