Digitized by LjOOQle -X 94 K- (1) The Rgveda-Pratisdkhya, by Saunaka , the text (ff. 1—33), followed by the text together with a Commentary, called Parmdavrtti (IF. 34—155). This MS. and its relation to the MSS. of Uvata’s Commentary used by Professor Max Muller in his edition and translation of the Rgveda- Pratisakhya have been fully discussed by Prof. Eggeling. See Pig -Veda -Pratisakhya, das alteste Lehrbuch der vedischen Phonetik. Sanskrittext mit Ubersetzung und Anmerkungen herausg. yon Max Muller (Leipzig 1869), Einleitung, pp. 22—32. As Prof. Eggeling states, the name of Uvata is not mentioned in this Commentary, which differs considerably from Uvata’s Commentary as known to us, and probably contains an older and more authentic interpretation of the Pratisakhya, than that of Uvata ( l . c., p. 23 seq.). A complete collation of the text given by this MS., and an edition of this Commentary would be very desirable, though the MS. is unfortunately incomplete. The text breaks off after XVI, 52 in Prof. Max Muller’s edition, while the Commentary only reaches to the end of the tenth Patala. The text begins: — astau samanaksarany aditas tataS catvari sandhyaksarani i ete svara iparo dlrgliavat pluto- nusvaro vyanjanam va svaro va i etc .
