Sometimes we find the comment classed separate from the text and 

 bearing a separate title. Thus the chief commentary on the Bhaga- 

 vata is called Sri Dhariyam, as being written by Sri Dhara Swamy 

 and one on the Ramayanam is called Tirthiyam. 



Some treatises on Telugu grammar are written in Sanscrit, but 

 are classed under Telugu, because appertaining to that language. 



There are no printed books in this catalogue. The printed San- 

 scrit and Telugu books being placed in a separate list, viz., that of my 

 English library. 



There are some trifling miscellaneous articles which did not de- 

 serve a place in the alphabetical catalogue, such as medical receipts 

 which were found written at the end of more important books, like- 

 wise modern compositions, as my translations of parts of the Bible 

 and copies of some trials and Telugu letters. These are placed at 

 the close of the alphabetical catalogue in several lists, as medical 

 fragments, poetical fragments, fragments on law, &c. &c. 



These catalogues were framed in the year 1834, when I was act- 

 ing Judge at Rajahmandry. 



The present remarks are drawn up both in Telugu and in English 

 by me as a key to the catalogues. 



The entire library cost me about twenty-four thousand Rupees, 

 the greater part of which was laid out in pay to the learned Bramins, 

 who under my directions framed commentaries on the Telugu poems, 

 and also the copyists who assisted me in my Dictionary. 



It requires a little experience to use the present catalogue ; thus 

 under the title Bharata, we find the name Annsasanicam which is 

 marked so as to show that there are no MSS. -of that poem. But 

 a little lower down we find a complete MSS. of the entire Ma- 

 habharat, in the English form, which not only contains the Annsa- 

 sanicam (or eleventh book of the Bharat) but exhibits the various 

 readings found in nine collated manuscripts.

Postscript. — For four years after my return to India, 1838, 39, 

 40, 41, my establishment of Writers, with bills for paper, printing, and 

 binding native books cost me just about two hundred Rupees a month. 

 During several months, the expense was double that amount.
