IO SAN 1912

Portions of the Mahābhārata

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Portions of the Mahābhārata

with different commentaries on different sections of the work:

a. Śalyaparvan (foll. 46), without Ṭīkā; corresponding to adhy. 1-30 of the Calc. edition; the remaining two adhyāyas being added to.

b. Gadāparvan (foll. 70), with Ṭikā.

c. Aiṣīkaparvan (foll. 11), with Ṭikā. The first part of the Sauptikaparvan (adhy. 1-9) is bound up with vol. viii.

d. Viśokaparvan (foll. 9), with Ṭikā; corresponding to adhy. 1-8 of the Strīparvan of the Calc. edition.

e. Strīparvan (foll. 21), with Ṭikā. The latter has the following colophon: iti śrīcaturbhujaviracitā śalyādipañcaparvaṭīkā samāptā || The commentary on the Śalyaparvan, however, is not given at all; and those on the Viśoka- and Strī-parvan are identical with those contained in Ms. 3136 (no. 3212), where they are (apparently wrongly) ascribed to Nīlakaṇṭha.

f. Rājadharma of the Śāntiparvan, with Ṭikā (foll. 179).

g. Āpaddharma of the Śāntiparvan, with (? Caturbhuja Miśra's) Ṭikā, the same as the one ascribed, in Ms. 3137, to Nīlakaṇṭha.
