INTRODUCTION

 3. Ms. C : No C.964-B of the above Library, described in the above-mentioned Catalogue, vol. IV, pp. 1525-26. The ms. originally belonged to Shri Isanan Damodaran Bhattatiri, Ampalapuzha (Alleppey, South Kerala). It is well preserved and has few scribal errors. The codex contains the following works: A. Nyayaratna ; B. Sphutanirņaya with commentary, edited here : C. Jatakadesamarga of Putumana Somayaji ; and D. Karaņottama of Acyuta.

 4. Ms. D : No. C. 1945-B of the above Library, procured from Shri Jayantan Bhaskaran Mussatu, Vattappalli, Kumaranallur (Kerala) and described on pp. 1691-92 of vol.

Sphutanirnaya with commentary edited here; and C. Aryabhatiya (incomplete).

 5. Ms. E: No. R. 3799 (b) of the Government Oriental Mss. Library, Madras, a paper transcript in Grantha Script, prepared in 1921-22, from a palmleaf ms. in Malayalam script, preserved in the collection of Shri Ittiri Vāriyar of Kārakkātu Vāriyam, Kavaļappāra, Shoranur (North Kerala). The transcript is replete with errors, due, possibly, to the Grantha copyist not deciphering the original ms. properly. At the close of the ms. is found the following post-colophonic statement, which, among other things, gives the name of the scribe as Rudra :

akşaram yat paribhraştam matrahinam tu yad bhavet /
kşantum arhanti vidvanimsah kasya nasti vyat ikramah //

Rudrena likhitam idam pustakam. Sri-gurave namah. Sri-Daksinamartye namah. Sri-Mahaganapataye namah, Sri-sarasyatyai namah.

 6. F: A manuscript belonging to the Government Sanskrit College, Tripunithura (Central Kerala). The manuscript is well preserved and legible but the text contained is full of scribal errors.
