ACTIVITIES OF THE ALL INDIA KASHIRAJ TRUST
I. Critical Edition:
(JANUARY-JUNE, 1967)
VAMANA PUR膧峁咥 WORK
The Critical text of the V膩mana Pur膩峁嘺 has been
constituted primarily on the basis of the collation of twenty
Manuscripts, i. e. 4 Kashmirian MSS., 3 Bengali MSS., 10 Deva-
n膩gar墨 MSS. of Northern India, and 3 South Indian MSS. (One
Devan膩gar墨 MS. from the Adyar Library, One Nand墨n膩gar墨 MS.
from the S峁涐箛ger墨 Matha, and one Telugu MS. from the Govern-
ment Oriental MSS. Library, Madras,)
Of these, the Kashmirian MS. No. 4012 (Steine Catalogue)
procured from Shri Raghunath Sanskrit Library, Jammu, through
the kind courtesy of Dr. Karan Singh, Maharaja of Jammu and
Kashmir, contains a very valuable Sanskrit commentary on the
V膩mana Pur膩峁嘺 by the Kashmirian Pandita, Rama Chandra
Bhatta. It is the only known and available Sanskrit commentary
on the V膩mana Purana. It lucidly explains difficult portions of
the text, and also mentions some variants.
WORK ON THE OTHER PURA峁咥S:
Sval pa Matsya Purana:
As has been mentioned previously it is being critically
edited under the direction of Dr. V. Raghavan on the basis of an
Assamese MS. and a London MS. Uptil now ten chapters have
been published in the 'Pur膩峁嘺' Bulletin. The next eight chapters
(11-18) are being published in this July issue of the 'Pur膩峁嘺'.
Further chapters are being edited, and will be published in several
instalments.
The work of the collation of the Kurma Pur膩峁嘺 MSS. has
been suspended for the time being, for all our staff is engaged in
the Vamana Pur膩峁嘺 work.
