This Society has been started in order to render accessible
to students the rich stores of the earliest Buddhist literature
now lying unedited and practically unused in the various
MSS. scattered throughout the IJniversity and other Public
Libraries of Europe.

The historical importance of these Texts can scarcely be
exaggerated, either in respect of their value for the history
of folk-lore, or of religion, or of language. It is already
certain that they were all put into their present form within
a very limited period, probably extending to less than a
century and a half (about B.C. 400-250). For that period
they have preserved for us a record, quite uncontaminated
by filtration through any European mind, of the every-day
beliefs and customs of a people nearly related to ourselves,
just as they were passing through the first stages of civiliza-
tion. They are our best authorities for the early history of
that interesting system of religion so nearly allied to some
of the latest speculations among ourselves, and which has

VUl PROSPECTUS.

influenced so powerfully, and for so long a time, so great
a portion of the human race — ^the system of religion which
we now call Buddhism. The sacred books of the early
Buddhists have preserved to us the sole record of the only
religious movement in the world's history which bears any
close resemblance to early Christianity. In the history
of speech they contain unimpeachable evidence of a stage
in language midway between the Vedic Sanskrit and the
various modem forms of speech in India. In the history
of Indian literature there is nothing older than these works,
excepting only the Yedic writings ; and all the later classical
Sanskrit literature has been profoundly influenced by the
intellectual struggle of which they afford the only direct
evidence. It is not, therefore, too much to say that the
publication of this unique literature will be no less important
for the study of history, — whether anthropological, philo-
logical, literaiy, or religious, — than the publication of the
Yedas has already been.

The Subscription, to the Society is One Guinea a
year, or Five Guineas for six years, payable in advance.
Each subscriber receives, post free, the publications of the
Society.

It is hoped that persons who are desirous to aid the publica-
tion of these important historical texts will give Donations
to be spread if necessary over a term of years.

%* Subscriptions for 1883 are now dm, and it is earnestly requested
that subscribers will send in their payments without putting the Society
to the expense and trouble of personally asking for them. All who can
conveniently do so should send the Five Guineas for six years^ to
their own benefit and that of the Society also.

KEPOET OF THE PALI TEXT SOCIETY

FOR 1882.

By T. W. Rhys Davids.

I HAVE to congratulate the members of the P&li Text Society
on the fact of its having safely survived the anxious period
of birth, and of its having fairly entered upon what we
may all hope will be a career of such usefulness as will
fulfil the promise with which it was started into life. Its
birth was announced in my Hibbert Lectures in the May
of 1881. At first — as was only indeed to be reasonably
expected — subscriptions came in but slowly, and some of
those friends who were its first supporters may have been
anxious at the long delay which has elapsed before they
have seen the first fruits of their subscriptions. I trust their
fears have now subsided : and I would take this opportunity
of pointing out how great is the debt which we owe to
these first adherents of a good cause that was then without
friends, and that but for their timely and generous aid might
have died still-born. When we recollect that a generation
elapsed after the publication of Tumour's Mah^-vahsa, and
again another generation after the publication of Fausboll's
Dhamma-pada, before any other Pali Text of importance
saw the light, we may well suppose that had it not been
for the manner in which our first subscribers led the forlorn
hope, another generation would have passed before the objects
of the Society would have been at all attained. As it is,
further effort was encouraged. It became certain towards
the close of 1881 that the Society would live. And the

to the ancient commentaries upon them, and he suggests
that these three classes of works should be kept carefully
separate.

He will see that this will be done. Each work will be
published separately in parts by itself, which are intended to
be bound together in one volume ; and thus no volume will
contain works from any two of these different classes into
which the PMi literature is naturally divided.

Sri Saddhftnanda Thera, of Batgama, who writes in P41i,
also mentions the Pitaka books, concluding, as usual, with
the Abhidhamma, and expresses the opinion that the contents
of these last can best be learnt by a study of the work called
Abhidhammattha-sangaha, He therefore, suggests that this
book, with the two Tik&s upon it, and with two allied works,
named Sucittalankslra and Abhidhamma vat&ra, should be in*
eluded in the series of Pali texts to be published by the Society ;
and he offers, if they are wanting in Europe, to supply the
necessary MSS. He points out the desirability of printing the
other Pali works not included in the Pitakas, and strongly
insists on the importance of our obtaining good MSS. with
the help of learned Buddhist scholars in Burma, Siam, and
Ceylon.

Professor Childers left a part, about one-third, of an edition
of the Abhidhammattha*sahgaha, the importance of which
was very early recognized by him, ready for the press. It
were much to be hoped that one or other of our contributors
should complete this 'for publication. There are sufficient
MSS. for this purpose in Europe : of the other works we
should be greatly indebted to our learned correspondent if
he would supply us with MSS.

Pann^nanda Thera, of Gintota, after welcoming thet So-
ciety, points out the advantage which it will be to those
readers of P&li who are not learned scholars to have correct
texts before them. He lays stress therefore on the import-
ance of our using good MSS., stating incidentally that some P&li
texts lately printed in Europe contain blunders (which is
very likely, though in the one example he actually gives he
jseems to have chosen about the least likely instance). He

EEPORT FOR 1882: 5

tben very properly desires that the Jain texts which we print
should be kept separate from the Buddhist ones.

Sri Sumana Tissa, of Minuwan-goda, sets out the historical
dependence of Burmese and Siamese MSS. on those of Ceylon ,
and strongly insists on the general superiority of the latter.
And he suggests the advantage, in editing also, but especially
in translating P&li texts, of European scholars obtaining the
assistance of learned Buddhist Theras in Ceylon, of the prin-
cipal of whom he gives a very interesting list. Finally, in
touching and beautiful language (and he is evidently a master
of style in the graceful tongue in which he writes), he gives
expression to the earnest desire which he himself feels to aid
in every way possible to him, though he has now grown old
in years, the high and worthy task, so full of benefit to the
world, and so difficult to fulfil, which the scholars in Europe
belonging to our Society have ventured to undertake.

We are much obliged to our friends, the native scholars,
for these proofs of their sympathy and interest, and can
assure them that their suggestions have been considered
with the respect which they deserve. Nothing would give
us greater pleasure and advantage than letters from the dis*
tinguished scholars, mentioned by Sri Sumana Tissa, in
respect of P&li Texts printed in Europe. We must only
ask that these letters should be in Pftli and not in Sinhalese,
as only two or three of us have the advantage of under-
standing the . latter of these two languages. They will
find that our scholars are very ready and willing to acknow-
ledge any errors that may have crept into our printed texts,
and to correct them in Lists of Corrigenda in the following
parts. The fact is we neither hope nor expect when texts
are first printed that they will be entirely without errors.
This was not the case when the Latin and Greek literature
was first printed, and will not be the case with our Pali
Texts. But our. printed books, which will be all carefully
edited by good scholars, and with collation of a number of
native MSS., will be more correct, even from the very first,
than any one MS. ever can be. They will also be much
more practical and handy for daily use and reference. One

of the many advantages which we claim for our texts over
those in MS. is precisely the ease with which the few errors
they may contain can be pointed out and discussed by refer-
ence to chapter and verse. And when a correct reading has
been once established, and published in print, it can never
afterwards be lost or forgotten.

It is the same with our translations. There are, for
instance, several passages in the version of the Khandhakas,
published by Professor Oldenberg and myself in the Oxford
series of the '* Sacred Books of the East," in which we have
been in great doubt as to the rendering of certain technical
terms connected with the Kathina. So, also, in the translation
in my Buddhist Suttas of the passage in the Mahd.-parinib-
b&na Sutta II. 32, I have only been able to conjecture
as to the meaning of the phrase vegha-missakena. Through-
out all our translations such doubtful passages are usually
referred to in the notes ; and suggestions or criticisms (in
PAli) from native scholars on these or other points in English
translations of P&li texts, will be gladly welcomed and fol-
lowed, and we trust that we shall be able to publish some
such letters in the next volume of this Journal.

We can also assure our friends in Ceylon that we recognize

as fully as they do the paramount importance of making use

of good MSS. We have enough such already available for

some of the publications of the next year ; but for others,

and for the texts to be published in following ye^rs, we

must appeal for help from Burma, Siam, and Ceylon. We

want most especially MSS. (both texts and commentaries)

of:—

UdAna. PatisambhidA.

Iti-vuttaka. ApadAna.

Vim&na-vatthu. KathA-vatthu.

Peta-vatthu. Puggala,

Niddesa. Visuddhi-magga.

The Society is willing either to receive MSS. of these books
on loan, or in place of subscriptions, or to give printed PAli
books of the same value for them, or to pay for them in
money. Scholars in the West are already working at the

REPORT FOR 1882. 7

Iti-vuttaka, the ApadsLna, and the Yisuddhi-magga. Oood
M88. of these books are therefore wanted at once, before there
can be time to have them copied. We would earnestly ask
that any Thera in Ceylon who possesses copies of them^ and
who is desirous to help us in carrying out our difficult task,
will be so kind as to allow us the use of themi on any one or
other of the terms just mentioned. All inquiries on the
matter, and MSS. intended for the Society, should be sent to
the Atapattu Mudaliy&r of Galle.

This matter of good MSS. is moreover of such importance
that I have deemed it advisable to add to the present issue of
our Journal such accounts of the MSS. at present existing in
most of the more important of our European libraries, that
our friends in Ceylon will be able to see in what respect we
are already provided, and that our contributors in Europe
may be able to ascertain whence MSS. of the books they are
working at can be procured. To these I add a list of the
MSS. in the two principal libraries in Ceylon, for purposes of
reference and comparison.

With regard to our future work, it should be mentioned
that we hope to publish about 25 sheets (that is, 400 pages)
regularly at about Christmas time each year until our im-
portant work is actually concluded. The Yinaya Pitaka
being already nearly completed by the industry of its learned
editor, Professor Oldenberg, the following table will show
how far that part of the Pali Pitakas which the Society
hopes to publish has been at present dealt with or under-
taken : —

On this it should be noted that I have been so fully occupied
this year with the unexpectedly wide correspondence and
anxious thought which the starting of our Society has
brought upon me that it has not been possible for me to
make more than a very little progress with my projected
edition of the Digha. But about half of the work is in a
more or less forward state^ and four of the largest Suttas
are already nearly ready for the press, and Dr. Morris
has been kind enough to promise his assistance with respect
to one or two others which he has already copied for other
purposes.

Mr. Trenckner is hard at work at his edition of the
Majjhima, which he is printing without any assistance from
the Society's funds. It will promote the good cause none
the less for being independent of our aid, and our readers
will all be glad to hear that the edition of so important a
work by so able a philologian is already in type to the extent
of between three and four hundred pages, and bids fair to
arrive at a safe and speedy conclusion.

Of the Anguttara, by Dr. Morris, we have the pleasure
already this year of presenting to the subscribers the first
instalment, containing the Eka Nip&ta and the Duka Nip&ta,
together about one-eighth of the whole work. The editor,
who, in spite of the claims of other fields in which he is
already so distinguished, has heartily devoted his wide know-
ledge and almost unrivalled power of rapid work to the cause
of our Society, has the next instalment well in hand, and, as
will be seen below, both gives and promises other very sub-
stantial aid to the common enterprise.

No one has as yet ventured to undertake the whole of the
one remaining of the four great collections of the Suttas, but
M. L^on Feer, having concluded the important works on
Tibetan Buddhism on which he has been engaged, will
begin, and hopes to complete, his edition of the first part
of it this year ; and may possibly be persuaded to continue it
afterwards.

With regard to the miscellaneous* canonical books, we

year. Professor Oldenberg's edition of the Thera-g&thft is
almost ready for the press (a few references only requiring
to be added), and will be sent to press early next year.

10 PALI TEXT SOCIETY.

FausboU hopes to have the Sutta Nip&ta and the new edition
of his Dhamma-pada ready during the course of 1883 ; and
the former of these two he will publish without requiring
any assistance from our funds. The J&taka, as our readers
will already know, he is publishing in his magnificent edition
of the Jatak-attha-vannan& ; and it will therefore be un-
necessary to repeat it, without the commentary, in our series
of FsLli texts. Dr. Frankfurter has had his edition of the
Dhamma-sangani nearly ready for some time, bat wishes to
perfect it before publication by further collation with the MSS.
at Paris. Dr. Morris has so far progressed with the Puggala
that he only requires a short interval to prepare it for the
press, and we hope to distribute this work next year.

Besides the above Fitaka books, and separately from them,
we propose to publish also a selection of later works throwing
light on the history of early Buddhism. Of these the follow-
ing may already be mentioned : —

This list might be indefinitely extended ; it contains only
at present the engagements already made, and the names of
one or two other works which are particularly wanted. Two
of them are Jain books — that is, books written by the fol-
lowers of Nigantha Nathaputta ; and three are Sanskrit

REPORT FOR 1882. 11

Buddhist works from Nepal — that is, books written by the
followers of those Bhikkhus who, after the close of the
Council at Yes4Ii, held the Mah& Sangiti. Of these, one of
the Jain works is completed, as far as the text is concerned,
this year. It is scarcely necessary to point out to our sub-
scribers in Ceylon that we do not propose to print these
works because we believe them to belong to the F&li Fitakas,
but because of their historical interest and especially because
of the light they may reasonably be expected to throw upon
the growth of Buddhism. We learn enough in the Pali
Fitakas and in later F&li records about Nathaputta, and
about the holders of the Mah& Sangiti, to make us wish
to know more. The works of their followers are the most
likely source from which such further knowledge can be
obtained, and we are particularly fortunate to have had
the advantage of Frofessor Jacobi's help in this matter ;
whose work, now published, the edition of the AysLranga
Sutta, will be the more useful, as a translation of it by him-
self will also appear this year at Oxford.

Of the other works in this list, the Abhidhammattha-
sangaha has already been referred to above (p. 4). The
very valuable and important portion of the Mah&vansa that
was published by Mr. Tumour is not only out of print, and
difficult to obtain, but is not up to the level of present
knowledge, and is often indeed incorrect. One may be
allowed to say this without detracting at all from the high
estimation in which his weighty services to historical inquiry
ought always to be held. Few and far between among the
hard-worked civil servants in India and Ceylon are the men
who are willing to give up the precious hours of their
scanty leisure time to original work, either of an historical
or of a scientific kind ; and we, of this Society, are the last
who are likely to forget the debt of gratitude we owe to
Mr. Tumour for the interest which he took himself, and was
able to arouse in others, in the native literature and religion
of the people among whom his official duties lay. Nearly
fifty years have elapsed since he wrote ; and only one work-
man has descended with practical pick and shovel into the

12 PALI TEXT SOCIETY.

mine which he opened for us. A careful edition of all that
can probably be rescued of the text of the older, and almost
superseded, Dtpavansa is the result of the new effort. But
we ought to have the whole of the Ceylon Wama poth^ the
ancient civil and religious chronicles of the island, made
accessible to the world in printed texts. In the first place,
of course, we want the P&li Pitakas ; but this ought we to
do, and not to leave the other undone — at least, if our funds
hold out. And that brings me to the final point, last but by
no means least, of this report, the question of the present state
and future prospects of our finances.

Perhaps I ought, however, to add a word or two here
about our Journal, It will appear every year, and contain a
Report of work done, and work about to be done. But it will
also be open for the insertion of letters, notes, and even short
papers, relating either to the texts themselves or to early
Buddhist history, from the pens of native or of European
scholars, and either in the English or in the Vk\\ language.
We hope also to include in it Analyses or Translations
in English of P&li texts, explanations of difficult or mis-
understood terms, Catalogues of MSS., Indices, Glossaries,
and other aids of a similar kind to the use of the works
published by the Society. We hope to receive a number of
such communications, and shall be prepared, if necessary,
to publish an intermediate number of the Journal during
the course of the year.

The annexed lists will show the names and addresses of
those who have come forward to assist the young Society.
With one or two exceptions, they have all paid up ; and we

BEFORT FOR 1882. 13

It is not possible to state at present what our expenditure
here for this year will be, as our printers' bills have not yet
all come in, nor have the accounts from Ceylon been yet
made up for the year. A complete Balance Sheet must
therefore be held over till the next issue of our Journal.
But it is possible to estimate the total cost of printing,
binding, and despatching to subscribers the four parts we
issue this year at something under £135. In other words,
the eighty odd subscribers in Europe and America will
receive, thanks to the donors and the help we have had
from Ceylon, about fifty per cent, more in printed matter
than the value of their subscriptions, even reckoning the
value of our issues at only the cost price. It will be noticed,
also, that we have not encroached, for this year's expenses,
on the subscriptions paid in advance for five years. That
amount remains in hand for use, in due proportions, during
each successive year.

As to the future generally I am afraid to prophesy, lest
I should appear too sanguine. But thus much is at least
certain, that even if the number of subscribers remains the
same as at present, we shall be able to continue our work
in regular course. I have already put communications in
train with Burma, Siam, and Japan. It is scarcely likely
that in all these three Buddhist countries there should be no
result at all. Even in Europe and America we may fairly
hope for a few more subscribers. Our next year's issue will
be somewhat larger than that for the present year; and we
may reasonably look forward to carrying to a successful
conclusion, and that within a limited number of years, the
difficult and important enterprise which, in spite of gloomy
prophecies and of much discouragement, we have thus
ventured to set on foot.

When that is done Buddhists throughout the world will
have before them complete copies of their sacred books in
the original language ; and in a form at once more accurate,
very much cheaper, and more handy for use, than the bulky
MSS. in which alone they are at present accessible. European
scholars will have before them a valuable series of original

14 PALI TEXT SOCIETY.

documents on one of the most important and interesting
chapters in human history. Part of the result will be, on
the one hand among the Buddhists themselves, to encourage
throughout the East the study of their ancient literature,
and thus to insure and to popularize an accurate acquaint-
ance with the primitive forms of their venerable faith — and
on the other hand here in the West, to provide the bricks
out of which historical works can be built up to enlighten
us on the deeper feelings of that larger half of the world of
which we know so much too little. And is it too much to
hope that a widespread acquaintance^ among our educated
classes, with the history of a religion so remarkably similar
in some points of its origin and in the whole course of its
development to our own, will do much to enlarge their
sympathies, and to aid them in forming a correct estimate
of the real meaning and value of not a few details in their
own inherited beliefs P

moment in the issue of our first year's publications. But
our subscribers will recollect that our editors had less than
a year to work in, and that there are always unusual diffi-
culties at the commencement of such work as they have
undertaken. Next year we hope to be fully up to time.

P.S. 'No. 2. — Just as this report is being struck off, I have
received the welcome intelligence from Siam of the substantial
donations mentioned in the following list.

List of Pdli, Sinhalese, and Sanskrit Manuscripts in the

Colombo Museum,

The following list is compiled from the official list pub-
lished in 1876 by Louis de Zoysa, Mudaliy&r, the Librarian
of what was then called the " Ceylon Government Oriental
Library.*' I have omitted nothing that would be of interest
or value to European scholars. There have been some further
additions, especially of rare works discovered since that date,
but of these I have been unable to obtain any information.
The following are the learned Mudaliy&r's prefatory remarks.

The collection of manuscripts in the Government Oriental
Library consists^ at present^ of 188 volumes, or 209 distinct
works, some of the volumes containing more than one such
work.

The manuscripts have been classified as follows : —

A. — Consists of texts of the Canonical Scriptures of Buddhism.
Of these there are twenty-seven volumes in Burmese
characters, presented by the Xing of Burma ; and four-
teen in Sinhalese characters, copied at the expense
of Government, and presented by private individuals.
The Burmese text is complete, but the following will
have to be added to complete the Sinhalese edition : —

Digha Nik&ya.

Sanyutta Nik&ya.

Anguttara Nik&ya.

Portions of the Khuddaka Nikd^ya.

The whole of the Abhidhamma Pitaka.

B. — Consists of miscellaneous religious works, such as Attha-
kath&s (Commentaries on the Sacred Text), Tik&s
(Comments on the Atthakathas), and other religious

MSS. IN COLOMBO. 47

works of a general nature. Of these there are seventy-
one volumes. No copy of the Burmese edition of the
Atthakath&s has been received, but a portion of the
Sinhalese edition has been copied, or presented, and
the following will have to be added to complete the
collection, viz. : —

1. Commentary on Majjhima Nik&ya.

2. Commentary on Sanyutta Nik&ya.

3. Commentary on Anguttara Nik&ya.

4. J&taka Atthakath&.

And a few other minor commentaries.

G. — Consists of historical works, legendary tales, etc., and
contains twenty-five volumes.

D. — Philological works. Under this head there are twenty-
nine volumes.

E. — ^Poetry, etc., sixteen volumes.

!F. — Miscellaneous works, scientific, medical, etc. Of these
there are six volumes.

A short description of each manuscript (excepting those of
the Canonical Scriptures, of which only a general description
will be found) is given, indicating its contents, and whence
it was obtained.

1 (Phayre Collection).

Manuscript of the whole Tipitaka presented by the King
of Burma.

The MS., written in the Burmese character, consists of
29 volumes, each of which, wrapped up in a piece of silk, is

the dates of Sakkaraj 1202 or 1203 (a.d. 1841-42). In cor-
rectness this manuscript far surpasses most of the MSS.
written in Burma which I have seen. The contents of the

mised as an introduction to the principal work, the first
inscribed M&tikanayatvai (Burmese treatise with few P&li
quotations), the second Dh&tukath&nayatvaiy being a P41i-
Bur'hiese Nissaya of the third volume of the Abhidhamma-
pitaka.

Saddalakkhanay grammar composed by Moggall&yana.

Begins :

saddhammasangham bh&sissam Md.gadham Saddalakkh-

anam I
aadayo ti t&lisa vanh& | das&do sar& | dve dve savannd, |

The chapters are : saiin&dikando pathamo (ends f. k^^),
syadik. dutiyo (ki'), sam&sak. tatiyo (kri'),n&dik. catuttho (kft),
kh&dik. pancamo (kli), ty&dik. chattho (ke').

The sequence of the suttas is disturbed at several points in
the samasak., n&dik. and khddik., probably in consequence of
the leaves of the original MS. having been misplaced.

To enable the reader to form an idea of the relation of this
grammar and the following two works, which are based on
Moggalld^yana's system, I shall extract from each of them a
passage treating of the same subject. I select the rules about
the sandhi of vowels, which is treated of in the Saddalakkh-
ana in the following few words :

fol. k& : saro lopo sare pare kvaci | na dve va | yuvannft-
nam e o luttd. | yv&sare | eonam | gossclvamb {sic) (see P&nini
6, 1, 123).

130 leaves, signed with the Sinhalese letters ka — jhl (the
same leaf has got the two numbers nri nri, the following nli
and nil), preceded by 4, followed by 2 blank leaves. On an
average 8 lines. Sinhalese writing.

The Fayogasiddhi, grammatical work of Vanaratana based

fIlI MSS. in the INDIA OFFICB LIBRARY. 95

on the system of Moggall&yana (see d'Alwis introduction^
p. xiv). The work concludes with the following stanzas :

Division of the chapters :

The disposition of the work is contained in the following
dates: saiinayidhana (ends f. ka') — sandhi yuccate (f. ka')
— atha n&m&ni vuccante (f. ki') — atha sankhy&sadda vuccante
(f. kah') — ath&sankhyam uccate (tarn duvidham p&di-c&dibhe-

n&dayo (n&dayo !) yuccante (f. khu') — atha tabb&dayo yuccante
(f. khe) — id6,ni tyddayo yuccante (f. khau).

I giye now as a specimen of the Padasadhana the chapter
treating of the sandhi of yowels (f. ka'-ki') :

matical categories from a logical point of view ; as the tikd,,
however, never gives a coherent explanation of its contents,
but only comments on single words, it is scarcely possible to
form an accurate idea of the work itself. The commen-

tary on the conclusion of the Y&cakopadesa (f. khu, etc.)
furnishes some dates about its author. The work is said to
have been composed in Sakkar. 967 (=a.d. 1606) ; then the
commentary goes on (f. khu) : Turangapappato Pamyanagarato

identical with that of the author : iti Cac kein ti khy&ta-

The Mah&vamaa. This copy ends, like the Copenhagen

contains a few verses more. The last verse is :

85 leaves, signed with the Sinhalese letters ka — cu ; each

The same work. The MS. ends in the 42nd chapter; the
last verse is :

teraccha eva netd ti katikaii ceva k&rayi.

93 (Turnour Collection).

Two volumes. The first contains 100 leaves, the first 98
being signed ka — chsl; the pages are marked with the
European numbers 1-195 ; 9 lines. The last two leaves
(ka — k&) contain an index of the chapters. The second
volume contains 100 leaves signed chi — dA ; the pages are
marked with the numbers 196-394 ; 8-9 lines.

The same work. The first volume ends short after the
beginning of chapter 58. — Tumour's edition of the Mah&-
vamsa (Ceylon, 1837) is doubtless based on this MS.

The conclusion sufficiently shows that Tumour was mis-
taken in stating that this commentary was composed by the
author of the Mahdyamsa himself. He was misled probably
by the explanation of the first line of the work, where the
paraphrase as well as the text speaks in the first person.
!Excepting such cases, the commentator uses, when speaking
of the author, the third person, calling him the d,cariya ;
for instance, in tte note inaccurately translated in Tumour's
Introduction, p. xxxii, of which I giye here the full text :

It may be observed further that the commentator not
only gives different explanations of many passages, himself
doubting which is to be preferred, but also various readings ;
for instance, p. 13, 6, ed. Turn., after having commented on
dhurandhare, he adds : dhurandhar& ti katthaci likhitan ti.

Finally, if there could remain any doubt, it would be
removed by the comments which the Tika gives on Mah&v.

The commentary, generally, concisely follows the single
words of the text ; sometimes it inserts historical excursuses,
some of which Turnour has translated in his Introduction to
the Mah&vamsa. The interest which these passages deserve
will justify me, I hope, in repeating here the P&li text of two
of the excursuses given in English by Turnour.

2. fol. gd— cai (8 lines). The Bdthdcamsa.

3. fol. CO — jo (7 lines on an average). At the end of the
