श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता गोतार्थसंग्रहोपेता followed in the present edition, because it is entirely based on the Kashmir MSS. Again, it is not alto- gether improbable that Pandit's MSS contained the BG text too. At times the texts commented upon by Ramakantha, as found in T.R. Chintamani's edition¹ are also taken into account, provided they do not appear to go against the spirit a the GS. This is done with a view to have as far as possible the Kashmir variants of Ag.'s time. Further the GS seems to suggest, as we saw above, that in certain places the BG text of Ag. might have differed from the text usually found in the Kashmir MSS. Those differences are indicated with a question mark in the present edition. They are also discussed in the Tippani and in the Notes. An Anukramaṇikā is added at the end (pt. I) so that one may have a comprehen- sive idea about the differences between the text followed here and that of the vulgate." lii 1. Op. cit. These textual variants, whenever adopted, are specified as such in the Tippani (pt. I) and in the Notes (pt. II). 2. There has been good amount of discussion on the utility, authenticity etc. of the Kashmir variants of the BG text. See e.g. (i) F. Otto Schrader of the Kiel University Isco (Germany): The Kashmir Recension of the Bhagavad gita (Stutt- Rart, 1930, pp. 1-52). (ii) Srimad Bhagavadgita: Ed. S. N.
