This appears to belong to some work on sorcery ; and from the 
fact that on the second leaf occurs the phrase sarva-siddhdnam pamcli- 
dbhijndnam namah it would seem to be a Buddhistic work. For the 
“ five knowledges ” are a well-known Buddhist term. The diction is 
a barbarous mixture of Sanskrit and Pali. The following is a tentative 
translation : — 
“ (The image) should be washed with .... He will be well. Sa- 
lutation to the elephant king with the lightning-like tongue! Yuju! 
Yuju ! yuji ! yuji ! Oh Malini, oh Vimanani ! Of such and such a king 
let an image of copper be made ! That image should be rubbed with 
mustard oil, (and) having burned (it in) fire , such a one will be 
attacked with fever. If it is wished to deliver him ( from fever), the 
following ( charm should be used ) : “ Itti, itti, mayest thou forgive, mayest 
thou wipe off ; Oh Katakapali ; I send an army ; let him praise this 
mountain-king ! ” Having uttered a spell over kushtlia and asafoetida, 
(this remedy) should be drunk; (then) there will be deliverance. Salu- 
tation to the elephant-king with the lightning-like tongue ! (Then to 
be said) as follows : “ Hail to her who bears a chaplet of kuli (Solanum 
Jacquinii) ” ! Am image of copper should be made ; (this should be 
rubbed) with oil and clarified butter (and heated) in such a king’s 
name ; (then) he will burn (with fever). If it is wished to deliver (him), 
a spell should be said over fragrant water : “ itti, itti deliver 
him, oh Satasati, Dliana-dhana, hail!” That image should be bathed 
(with the fragrant water) (worst) of the S'abaras ! oh wicked one ! 
oh pierced one! Having taken (him), he should be 
warded off. 
Part IY. See Plate III, fig. 1. No more than the fragment which 
has been figured exists of this manuscript. It is, however, of very 
considerable interest, as it presents a species of the North-Western 
Gupta character, which forms the link between that and the Central 
Asian type of Nagarl characters. For comparison the forms of the super- 
scribed vowel e and of the consonants j, t, n may be especially noticed. 
The figured page reads as follows : —
