CRITICAL EDITIONS OF THE PURANAS Vamana Purana: Besides the collation of the twenty manuscripts of the Vamana Purana, as already noted in the previous review, a newly acquired Kashmirian manuscript belonging to Shri Raghunath Sanskrit Library, Jammu (Kashmir), is now being collated. It contains a Sanskrit commentary by Pt. Ramacandra Bhatta, a Kashmirian Pandit in the times of Maharaja Ranbir Singh of Kashmir about a hundred years ago. This commentary is also being noted separately, and is intended to be published along with the English and Hindi translations of the Vamana-Purana. We have also procured another Sarada Ms. from the Banaras Hindu University Library, which is dated as Saka 1444 (A.D. 1522) the oldest dated manuscript procured up till now by us. It is also being utilised. An Oriya manuscript of the Vamana Purana has also been procured from Sri Raghunandan Library, Puri (Orissa). But it deals with Krsna, Gopis and Brndavana. It is being studied to find out if it is a part of the Brhad Vamana Purana. From amongst the south Indian manuscripts of the Vamana Purana we have been able to procure only three manuscriptsone Telugu, one Nandinagari and one Devanagari. These have been collated. But it is rather strange that inspite of our best efforts we have not been able to trace any available Grantha or Malayalam manuscript of the Vamana Purana. The Sarasvati Mahal Library, Tanjore, the Govt. Oriented Mss. Library, Madras, and the Keral University Library, Trivendrum, all have informed us that they do not have any Grantha or Malayalam manuscript of the Vamana Purana. So we have to go without them.
