13. Another argument confirming the assumption that the
CRCa II MS is another text of the B峁沨aspati-samhita of the
Garuda-pura峁嘺 or an extract of it, seems to be the fact that the
CRCa II text is the only MS of the CR version which contains
the only existing introductory stanza of the B峁沨aspati-samhita of
the Garuda-pur膩峁嘺 (1.108,1) and does not contain any of the
introductory stanzas of the CR version found in all other texts of
the CR version (CR reconstructed 1.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 15), nor the
closing stanza of the CR version.鹿

14. The CRCa II MS reproduces also some stanzas from
the B峁沨aspati-samhita of the Garu岣峚-pur膩峁嘺 which were
quoted in any of the CR texts or any of the other text of the
others Ca峁嘺kya's version, (Some of these texts could not even be
found in any other known primary source of Sanskrit literature*
and, therefore, it seems unlikely that they could have been
borrowed from any other source than the Brhaspati-samhita of the
Garu岣峚-pur膩峁嘺). These fourteen verses are: CRCa II 1, 2, 28,
29, 30, 31, 34, 35, 42, 45, 46, 48, 53 aad 54.3
15. The fact that the CRCa II MS has borrowed directly
from the B峁沨aspati-samhita of the Garu岣峚-pur膩峁嘺 seems to be
evident from the comparison of the texts, as it appears in CRCa
II, in the GP, in Cr and in other texts of Sanskrit literature, as
shown in the tabular presentation included in annex I. It shows
that the text of CRCa II is the nearest to the GP text.
16. The CRCa II text was compared with the B峁沨aspati-
samhita of the Garu岣峚-pur膩峁嘺 as it appears in two main texts, the
GP and GPy. The GP text is also identical with the text of
the GP published recently in the K膩艣墨 Samsk峁泃a Grantham膩l膩.
