ference to the Vira Saiva 9ec^; or the persecuting, and exterminating,clas9 

 of Hindus. Where the said matter in Canarese is, I know not. With 

 the discrimination given, this book must pass as it is. It requires no 

 further notice.

Patulu-ray^sha Ma/tafmyam, legend of the fane at Panderpur, 

 This buok is written in Balbund characters, and is an incomplete 

 copy, or rather a fragment of the legend in question. There being a 

 better copy in Telugu, before abstracted, this book requires no further 

 notice. It is in moderately good preservation. 



D.— MALAYALAM. 



It was heretofore sta^e l tliat, to the best of my knowledge, all the 

 Malayalam MSS. had been attended to; but, on the remainder of the 

 collection coming more completely under my inspection, two palm- 

 leaf MSS. in Malayaiam were met u ith, among the Tamil documents, 

 and one amidst the Telugu palm-leaf manus ripts ; with some portions 

 in Malayal.im, mingled with Tamil and Telugu, in manuscript books. 

 The following notice relates to these different documents. 



1. Kerala ?7/pa/i«, an account of Malayalam, No. 3.— Countermark 

 632. 



This is a complete copy of the Kerala UJpatti^ on palm-leaves ; agree- 

 ing with the copy which was before noted from a rnanuscript book. 

 One leaf which was broken has been restored. The remainder is in 

 good order.. 



Appended is the tale of 5'acara, being I perceive, in all probability, 

 the original of the Tamil MS. entitled Sacara-cadha, abstracted at the 

 commencement of my third report. This document has the beginning, 

 and is in regular order to the 25th leaf, but the remainder is wanting. 

 This fragment is slightly touched by injects, but upon the whole is in 

 good order. 



2. Fragment of the Kerala Ulpatti. 



This document was without label, number or any other of the usual 

 marks of these manuscripts. On examination it was found to be an un- 

 connected part of the Kerala Ulpatti, in that portion which, relates to
