Report on the Mackenzie ManVktQriptt* ;J 



present not to the injury of the sense ; but requiring to be looked at, 

 from time lo time; the hand-writing is neat, and modem. 



Note.— It is entered in Des. Catal. vol. 1. p. 321 art, xii, to 

 which entry I refer. 



7. Narasa-bhupaliyam, a poem, No. 36 — Countermark 483. 



8. The same. ibid. „ 37. " „ 482. 



The same. ibid. „ 38. ,, 484. 



The copy No. 36, is complete in sixty-six palm-leaves, of recent ap- 

 pearance ; two or three leaves at the beginning are touched by insects : 

 the remainder is in excellent order. 



No. 37, is written on Talipat leaves : the two first are wanting, also 

 the 4th and 9th ; right thence to the-32d leaf, where it breaks off with- 

 out being finished. A few of the leaves, at the beginning, are damaged 

 by mildew, and one leaf is torn. 



No. 33, is an old manuscript, wanting seven palm-leaves at the be- 

 ginning, but complete thence to the end, save only four leaves. It has 

 the same title in English, on the label, as the other two ; but though on 

 the same general topic, as a flattering, tribute to Crishna-rayer, yet it is a 

 different work, by a different author, and on another heroirfe named Chan- 

 drica. See the notice of the book entitled diandric a Par inay a, below. 



The two f&st manuscripts are copies of a poem by one of the Ashta- 

 | digajas at Vij ay ana gar am ; there having been eight learned men so 

 termed, by way of distinction. Timma-raju, or by title Bhattu-murti, from 

 poeticaleminence, was one of these eight poets of Crishna-rayer'' s court. 

 This work, written by him, is entitled after the father of Crishna-rayer ; 

 and as usual contains the genealogy of the patron. Its subject is rheto- 

 rical and poetical, on the laws of the drama and poetical composition. It 

 is highly esteemed, and regarded as a very superior work. 



The three copies are entered in Des. Catal. vol. 1. p. 352 art. i but 

 the last MS. should have been noted ae a second copy of art. xiv p. 322 

 vol. 1. ut infra. 



9. Chandrica-parinaya, No. 66 — Countermark 355- 



10. Another copy (labelled A^arasa-bhupaliyam), No. 38— Counter- 

 mark 484.
