 PKEFATORY LETTER 
 
 Dear Mr Vice-Chancellor, 
 
 The following pages are intended to fulfil the promise 
 made in my letter, published by your predecessor in the 
 University Reporter of 26 May 1885, of submitting to the 
 University a detailed account of my recent tour in India, in 
 accordance with the conditions of Grace 2 of the Senate of 
 19 June 1884. I then expressed a hope that the present 
 publication might be ready early in last Michaelmas term; 
 but circumstances rendered that impossible, and even now 
 it is not as full as I could have wished. It seemed better 
 however to make no further delay. The chief matters post- 
 poned are the descriptions of several interesting and little- 
 known MSS. and the publication of several inscriptions. 
 
 In the descriptions of the new literature that I have 
 brought to light, I fear my brief notices will seem very partial 
 and meagre, if compared, for instance, with the admirable 
 accounts and extracts given in the recent reports of Professors 
 Peterson and Ramakrishna Bhandarkar. Some allowance 
 will doubtless be made for the difference of situation between 
 scholars working with the ever-helpful pandit always at hand 
 in the glorious \a/j,7rp6<; aWrjp of India, and the single-handed 
 efforts of one whose hours of daylight (such as it is in a London 
 winter) are chiefly consumed by official work. I have thus had 
 to forego describing in detail the fine representative collection 
 of Sanskrit and Prakrit literature purchased by me at Bombay 
 from Pandit Bhagvan Das, and to confine myself to reproducing 
 his rough list without classifying the MSS., as I have done in 
 
 B. h

 the case of my own collection. Still less have I been able to 
 give notes on the more remarkable works, as I have attempted 
 in that case. An adequate description, indeed, would be the 
 work of years rather than of months. My want of daylight 
 leisure has also prevented me publishing all my inscrip- 
 tions ; but I hope to be able to deal with them before very 
 long. 
 
 My acknowledgments of help received during the journey 
 itself will be found at the end of Part I. In reading these, I 
 trust my native friends will recognise their own names. At 
 the risk of occasionally seeming pedantic, I have transliterated 
 their names like other Indian words, without reference to local 
 pronunciation \ 
 
 In the preparation of the present work, I have to thank 
 several friends, especially Professor William Wright, for many 
 valuable hints and for kind and prompt help in revising the 
 proofs. Professor J. G. Biihler of Vienna has likewise aided in 
 the revision of my inscriptions. Professor Cowell, Dr Daniel 
 Wright, Professors Weber, Jacobi, and Adams have also 
 favoured me with ready answers to various special questions 
 that I have ventured to address to them. 
 
 I feel it also my sad duty to refer here to not fewer than 
 three of those who aided in my work in various ways, and have 
 been removed by death since I commenced it. 
 
 The first is the late Rana-uddipa Simha (Runoodeep Sing), 
 Maharaja (Prime Minister) of Nepal, who was slain during the 
 disturbances in Kathmandu in November last. Whoever may 
 be the new rulers, I trust they will be no less ready than the 
 late Premier to afford a courteous reception to scholars. 
 
 Next I must mention ]\Ir James Fergusson, incomparably 
 the soundest and most accomplished critic of our day in his 
 particular branch of art, who took a kindly interest in the 
 journey now recorded, both before and after it was undertaken. 
 
 1 As for Bengali, where the divergence of speUing and pronunciation is 
 greatest, attempts to put them into ' popular ' spelling appear often as ridiculous 
 in the eyes of the Hindus as in our own, if we may judge from the correspond- 
 ence in the "Pandit" for April 1869 (Vol. ni. p. 2i8).
 
 TO THE VICE-CHANCELLOR. VI l 
 
 Perhaps one of the last opinions he delivered on his favourite 
 subject of Indian art was in reference to the photograph of the 
 temple at Oodeypore now published \ 
 
 Lastly I have to mourn the heavy loss, still fresh in the 
 mind of every Cambridge reader, of one of the most trusty, 
 most energetic, and most appreciative friends and supporters 
 of the present work, and, let me add, of the worker also. 
 Under the auspices of Henry Bradshaw, the greatest librarian 
 of our time, it was my privilege to commence my study of 
 manuscripts. I shall never forget the sympathy, and even 
 enthusiasm with which he used to follow, in the minutest 
 palseographical and chronological details, my endeavours to 
 arrange the great Nepal collection of our Library, nor my debt 
 to him for many a hint and practical direction in the work of 
 re-arranging many masses of confused leaves and in describing 
 and registering the re-arrangement. I well remember a phrase 
 of his, used not without a touch of irony significant for us 
 librarians : " My favourite occupation is putting rubbish in 
 order." Though no professed Orientalist, he had something 
 to teach specialists in all branches. He had, as many others 
 can testify, a very strong sense of the value of our Oriental 
 collections, and not the least of that sent by Dr Wright from 
 Nepal. My proposal to visit that country found in him 
 from the first one of its most friendly and warmest supporters. 
 I have seldom received more real encouragement than from the 
 expression of the genial and firm support that he w^as pleased to 
 give to my application to the Worts Fund on the occasion of 
 its discussion in the Arts School on 17 June 1884. 
 
 Conscious as I am of the shortcomings of the present work, 
 I have no keener regret in connexion with it than that it cannot 
 be submitted to him at all events in its complete form, though 
 some of the first part was read in manuscript by him and has 
 been in a few places modified according to his suggestions. 
 Yet it is some satisfaction to know his opinion of my efforts, 
 and of their possible results and development, whether by

 myself or others: and thus I feel that 1 cannot now do better 
 than conclude by quoting the final sentences of the last letter of 
 any consequence that he wrote to me, — a propos of the journey 
 now described : " Your work is a real beginning and must lead 
 to more good work. I only hope that you may be allowed 
 to have a hand in it." 
 
 I remain, 
 
 dear Mr Vice-Chancellor,

 2 The two views from Oodeypore (I. 2 and VII) are also not described in the

 scenery, so characteristic of Bajputana, in a locality still surprisingly little 
 known. As for the temple (No. VII), almost the only notice I find of it is in 
 Major H. H. Cole's First Eeport on Ancient Monuments, p. clxxix, where he 
 draws attention to its astonishingly late date, a.d. 1734. As the photographs 
 illustrating this Eeport are not generally accessible, I publish this, though it is 
 by no means all I could wish it to be, until a better appears. The condition of 
 photography in India, I may here observe, is most unsatisfactory. The ordinary 
 European firms charge for views prices that I may characterize, from knowledge 
 of the actual cost of photography in the country, as most exorbitant. I found 
 however one distinctly able and enterprising photographer, somewhat more 
 moderate in charge, Lala Din-dayal, a Digambara Jain at Indore, who seems to 
 have brought to bear on our modern art-science some of the traditional art- 
 feeling of his sect. For the sake of those readers who are interested in Indian 
 architecture I may mention that this photographer has a Loudon agent, Mr 
 Farrer of Hanway Street, W.

 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 My tour in Noithorn India commenced at Bombay on Oct. 
 22nd, 1884. 
 
 After landing I lost little time in making the acquaintance 
 of Pandit Dr^ Bhagvanlal Indraji, whose researches in Indian 
 antiquities, chiefly published in the Indian Antiquary, are well 
 known both in India and Europe. The Pandit resides near the 
 Valkesvar shrine — a celebrated and most picturesque place of 
 Hindu pilgrimage, situated in strange juxtaposition to the 
 fashionable European quarter of the Malabar Hill, In his 
 house is a large and interesting collection of coins, copperplate 
 grants and other antiquities. Amongst other objects I may 
 note in particular a double-headed figure covered with inscrip- 
 tions in the rare and interesting Ariano-Pali character. It is 
 much to be desired that the Pandit or some other antiquary 
 should publish some account of this monument. 
 
 Having made no extensive study of Indian numismatics, I 
 offer no opinion as to the exact value of the Pandit's collection 
 of coins, which is however strongly representative of the Gupta 
 period ; but as the Pandit has probably made more extended 
 scientific travels than any other native of India, and these 
 
 ' The Pandit was i^resented with the honorary degree of Ph.D. by the 
 University of Leiden, ah-eady distinguished for its OrientaHsm. I trust that 
 our own Universities will some day do honour to themselves by following this 
 example, especially if, as seems likely, some distinguished native scholars are 
 induced to come to Europe for the Orientalists' Congress of next year.

 alwaA^s with an antiquarian object, it doubtless represents a 
 great diversity of |)lace as well as time. I have little doubt 
 that Dr Bhagvanlal would readily respond to requests from 
 institutions like the University or the British Museum for 
 copies or impressions, from which possibly exchanges of dupli- 
 cates could be arranged. 
 
 My more particular purpose in seeking the acquaintance of 
 this great scholar was to gain some advice as to my journey to 
 Nepal. The Pandit himself spent four months in that country 
 in the year 1880, and published some valuable and interesting 
 inscriptions, copied by him there, in the Indian Antiquary (Vol. 
 IX. pp. 160 seq., sequel in Vol. XIV. pp. 411 seq.). Following a 
 suggestion of my friend Professor J. G. Buhler of Vienna, who 
 had kindly written to Dr Bhagvanlal to interest hira in my 
 journey to Nepal, I sought to induce him to accompany me 
 thither ; b^^t after some hesitation my proposal was declined on 
 the ground of numerous literary engagements. I may state 
 here, however, that on my return to Bombay the Pandit ex- 
 pressed regret that he had not gone with me, and further added 
 that, should I visit Nepal again, he would accompany me both 
 to Kathmandu and to some other parts of the country, which I 
 shall mention later on. 
 
 I cannot however speak in too warm terms of the kind and 
 friendly way in which this eminent scholar placed at my disposal 
 the very exceptional experience he had gained, as the only 
 scientific traveller who had visited this secluded country un- 
 encumbered by all the restrictions placed there on Europeans. I 
 not ordy profited by numerous cimversations with him during my 
 hurried stay in Bombay, but also received after my departure 
 several letters containing valuable hints and information as to 
 the whereabouts of objects whose existence the Pandit had 
 ascertained without being able to publish a description of them. 
 
 In Dr Bhagvanlal's collection are also several early MSS. 
 fi-om Nepal, from which I obtained some fresh dates supple- 
 m(!nting the chronological table of the kings of Nepal occurring 
 at pp. xii. sqij. of my Catalogue. These are given in Appendix 
 
 ITT. below.
 
 ARCH^.OLOOICAL AND GENERAL UEPOHT. 3 
 
 On leaving Bombay for the interior I made a short (letoin 
 to the great cave of Kavli, certainly among the most solemn 
 and impressive of all the temples of the world, deeply interesting 
 as a monument alike of the stately magnificence of ancient 
 Buddhism, and of constructive religious art, enhanced by the 
 venerable records with which its stones are covered. After a 
 preliminary visit to Benares I proceeded by the Tirhut State 
 Railway to Motihari. I passed the Nepalese frontier near 
 Phulwaria, not without considerable annoyance from the officials, 
 and arrived in Kathmandu^ on November 9th. 
 
 Here I occupied the travellers' bungalow belonging to the 
 Government of India, and during each day was entertained by 
 the Resident, Mr C. Girdlestone, whose kind cooperation in 
 forwarding several of the objects of my visit I desire cordially to 
 acknowledge. The first of the few days I was enabled to spend 
 in Nepal had to be given up to inactivity, as the Resident 
 considered it unadvisable to visit the city, especially for the 
 purposes of archaeological search, without acquainting the 
 Durbar with the objects of my mission. I utilized the time, 
 however, to some extent in preliminary work for my chief object, 
 the acquisition of MSS., by several conversations with the Re- 
 sidency Pandit Indranand, the son of the late Pandit Gunanand, 
 one of the collaborateurs in the History of Nepal compiled 
 by Dr Daniel Wright, and published by the University. Such 
 success as I had in my main object was almost entirely due to 
 the exertions of this Pandit, to whom I am also much indebted 
 for very attentive and courteous guidance in visiting several of 
 the more distant localities of archaeological interest. I also 
 
 ^ I leave the spelling of this name without diacritical marks, because I do 
 not care for such marks in geogi-aphical names where they are not absolutely 
 necessary as guides to an intelligible jDronuneiation, also because there seems 
 great doubt as to the exact form in this case. The native chroniclers seem 
 always to use the quasi-classical form, Kjintipur ; Dr Hunter's Gazetteer has 
 ' Khatmandu {Kdtliiiidiiduy ; another Sauskritised form (giving a real or attempted 
 derivation) is Kashthamandapa (see my Catalogue, p. 100) ; the writer of the 
 recent history of Nepal in Bengali, a native of Nepal whom I met in his exile, 
 writes Katmunda. In any case, let me observe that the fir.st syllable is long (a 
 as in 'bath'), while the accent is on the second .syllable.

 profited much by tlie cordially rendered assistance of the 
 Residency Mir ]\Iunshi, Durgacaraiia Mi(;ra. The Pandit had 
 already gained particulars as to a list of desiderata which I had 
 forwarded to the Resident by post : he had also obtained one 
 MS. on approval, which I ultimately purchased. See Classi- 
 fied List of MSS. in Part II., § xi. No. 2. 
 
 On the 12th November I made a beginning of 2^1'actical 
 archaeological Avork by visiting some of the places in or near the 
 town of Kathmandu in which inscriptions had been found by 
 Pandit Bhagvanhll in 1880. 
 
 The very first and nearest of these seemed to illustrate 
 forcibly how desirable it is that opportimities should be taken 
 to reproduce these documents while they still exist. 
 
 This was the sliort inscription of Amc^uvarman [Indian 
 Antiq. Vol. IX. (for August, 1880), No. 8], which is described as 
 at Satdhiira near the Ranipokhra tank. The whole masonry of 
 the place round the spring seems quite recently to have been 
 demolished, and heaps of brick rubbish are lying about in all 
 directions, the whole spot as far as the tank being now included 
 in the parade-ground. I found no trace of the inscription, so 
 that it would seem that the Pandit was only just in time 
 to preserve a record of it. 
 
 I next visited Lagan-tol, within the town, and there saw the 
 originals of Nos. 3 and 4 of Pandit Bhagvanlal's series, and can 
 testify to the great accuracy of the published reproductions of 
 these, as I examined the dates in particular with considerable 
 care. Near the site of No. 4, at the opposite side of the temple 
 of Jaisi, is a specimen of a class of inscription of which I found 
 several instances in Nepal, viz., a stone at the end of a conduit 
 in which was formerly a spout, inscribed with the date and 
 name of donor. The present inscription is given in full in 
 Appendix I. with facsimile. It is dated [^riharsha-] Samvat 151 
 (a.d. G57), and records the donation of the conduit with certain 
 measures of land by a matron named Bhojamati to the temple- 
 committee of Lanjagval for their perpetual enjoyment thereof. 
 
 On November 14th I visited the famous hill of Svayam- 
 bhunath, of which a descri])tii)n, together with early mytlis

 concerning it, is to be found in Dr D. Wright's work on Nepal, 
 pp. 23, 79 sqq. I give a view, drawn from an imperfect 
 negative of my own, of part of the great central mound, with 
 a curious collection of smaller stiipas of slate and stone with 
 which the courtyard is crowded. I ascertained from some of 
 the priests of the shrine that several Sanskrit manuscripts, 
 including a palmleaf ' Ashtasahasrika,' a paper Lalitavistara 
 and others, were ^jreserved here. They declined, however, to 
 exhibit them, the custom being to produce them only on special 
 religious occasions for the adoration of the faithful. How 
 intelligent would be the use of such books may be inferred 
 from the circumstance that even the chief priest to whom I 
 addressed some simple Sanskrit phrases, did not so much as 
 attempt to answer me in the classical language — a point of 
 honour with every decent pandit in the plains of India. 
 
 During my pilgrimage to the shrine I found remains of an 
 early inscription on a fallen and broken lat or votive pillar, now 
 lying along the side of a well in the courtyard. It may be seen 
 in the illustration just at the feet of the group of garlanded 
 worshippers and others. The inscription is at present a mere 
 fragment, as the lower part is broken, and the upper part is 
 worn and has been partly recovered with a thinly scratched 
 (and to me illegible) modern inscription. The character, how- 
 ever, of what remains is of decided Gupta type, quite distinct 
 from the AnKjuvarman group of the viith cent. A.D., as may 
 be seen at once from the archaic forms of ^, W and other 
 letters, which resemble typical inscriptions of the fourth 
 and fifth centuries ; so that we may fairly infer that the 
 shrine has an antiquity of some 1400 or 1500 years — a con- 
 sideration which is interesting when taken in connexion with 
 the literature of the spot, namely the various redactions of the 
 Svayambhu-Purana, as to which it may suffice here to refer 
 to the citations in my Catalogue of the Buddhist Sanskrit 
 MSS. in the University Library, p. 7. Up to the present time 
 I have not succeeded in obtaining from the few lines that are 
 even partly legible anything of sufficiently connected interest to 
 make it worth publishing. I also took a photograph (not now
 
 b ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 j)ublished) at the base of the great flight of steps leatiing up 
 the hill, shewing a figure of Buddha between two lions of 
 archaic character. The figures and numerous small stupas here 
 are surrounded by numbers of small tablets deposited by 
 Tibetan pilgrims. Most of them bear the familiar ' om mani 
 padme hum ' in the characteristic raised (not incised) letters. 
 A living representative of these pilgrims was standing in the 
 foreground. 
 
 In the latter part of the same day I was favoured with 
 an interview with His Excellency the Maharaja or prime 
 minister of Nepal, Rana-uddipa Simha. On the same occasion 
 I had the pleasure of meeting General Khadga Shamsher 
 Simha, who by his friendly courtesy and excellent knowledge 
 of English was of great assistance to me on this and several 
 other occasions. There was also present the Durbar pandit, 
 Vacaspati, who conversed in clear and excellent Sanskrit, in 
 which also the Maharaja (who is evidently much interested 
 in the classical language) occasionally joined. 
 
 I then explained my objects in visiting Nepal, briefly refer- 
 ring to the woi^k recently done by myself and by others on the 
 literature and antiquities of the country. Permission was granted 
 to see the Durbar library and also to copy inscriptions and to 
 photograph buildings. I also made some suggestions as to the 
 desirability of viewing some very ancient manuscripts and other 
 documents mentioned to me by Dr Bhagvanlal Indraji as in 
 the possession of Buddhist and other religious establishments, 
 and a promise was made that efforts should be directed towards 
 procuring access to these, by having them brought to the 
 Durbar or otherwise. Judging by the great trouble that was 
 taken to show me the Maharaja's own MSS., it may fairly be 
 supposed that, had my stay in the country not been curtailed 
 as it was, some of the hopes thus raised might have been rea- 
 lised. On the following day I visited Bodhnath (described in 
 Wright's History p. 22, with a picture \ and the legend of its

 obviously due to a desire on the part of the Doctor's native draughtsman to get

 foundation at p. 100). The shrine seems almost entirely kept 
 lip by Bhotiyas and Tibetans. The adjacent village abounds 
 in small Tibetan inscriptions, mostly of very modern appear- 
 ance. I took a rough copy of a single specimen of these. 
 
 On the IGth November I made my first visit to the interesting 
 old town of Patau, formerly called Lalitapur or Lalitapattan, 
 ouly 2h miles from Kathmandu, but h^ng the seat of a separate 
 monarchy', and at present the chief seat of the national 
 Bud<lhisnj. A photograph is published by Hoffinau of Calcutta, 
 which gives some idea of the singularly diversified and pic- 
 turesque effect of the group of temples in the great square of 
 the old Durbar there. They appear to be mostly of the xvith 
 and xvilth centuries : and from inscriptions written in Newari, 
 and therefore not reproduced here, I gained some particulars as 
 to the genealogies and dates of the kings of this period, which 
 I have incorporated in the revised table of kings supplement- 
 ary to that published in the introduction to my Catalogue. 
 See Appendix III. In a street leading through a small drill- 
 ground, eastwards from the south-east corner of this square, I 
 discovered two inscriptions of the Viith century, adjacent to 
 wells called respectively Gairi-dhara and Sun-dhara. 
 
 The first is dated [^riharsha-] Samvat 82 (A.D. 688) and 
 records the provision made by a monarch for the due worship 
 of a divinity as well as for the repair and cleansing of the shrine. 
 The residue {parigesha), if any, of the grant was to be used for 
 the feeding of 'the Pa(;upatas and Brahmans.' The executive 
 officer of the grant is a Yuvardj whose name seems to be Skanda- 
 deva. The stone is nuich weather-worn at the top, but many 
 of the remains of incisions, though nearly flattened down, are 
 fairly legible. The experience of a stone like this showed the 
 importance of supplementing any system of estampage or other 
 copy from contact, by photography. At the same time I have 
 unfortunately to add that the risks of the latter process were 
 exemplified by the fracture of the glass of my negative, which 
 I therefore do not publish, but give in Appendix I. an autotype

 reproduction of part of the hack of my paper copy, so that 
 the letters appear raised instead of incised as they are in fact. 
 
 The Sundhara inscription is dated [^riharsha-] Samvat 34 
 (a.D. 640) and records a grant, from a king whose name is now 
 lost, but doubtless AmQuvarman, of land near the village of 
 Matin, the assessment (pindaka^) of which is to be handed over 
 to the Paiicalikas, elsewhere endowed both by Amc^'uvarman 
 and his successor Jishnugupta (Bhagvanlal, Inscr. 7 and 10), 
 as a permanent endowment for the repair of a building which 
 the king had recently restored after considerable dilapidations 
 had occurred. As to who the Pancalikns were, we have no 
 certain information. Dr Bhagvanlal in his note (26) on his 7th 
 inscription tells us that " the word Pducdlika seems to be a 
 technical expression corresponding to the southern Pahcakulika 
 and the modern ' Panch ' " : with which we are to compare the 
 modern temple-committees called gvMh/l. In the History of 
 Nepal as translated by Dr D. Wright, the term does not seem 
 to occur, but at p. 163 we find that (many centuries after 
 this) a town Panavati (now Panauti] was founded 'near the 
 Prayaga-tlrtha of Nepal, celebrated in the Shastras, on the 
 site where the Pancala-des formerly stood' ; while on p. 133 we 
 are told that Am^uvarman, who w^as reigning at the date 
 of this inscription, " went to Prayaga-tlrtha and persuaded 
 [the deity] Prayaga Bhairava to accompany him to Nepal." 
 May we conjecture (until further evidence is forthcoming) 
 from these confused and mythical traditions that the Paii- 
 calikas were a band of settlers, whom Am9uvarman intro- 
 duced from the Kanauj and Prayag (Allahabad) districts and 
 whom he sought to propitiate by grants of territory and general 
 endowment ? 
 
 Near the inscription, on the opposite side of the open square 
 in which it stands, is a small group of images in high relief 
 with a votive inscription in verse recording that in [Nepal] 
 Samvat 203, Viinadeva, son of a king (hhuncitha) Ya9odeva, 
 erected this image in honour of the Sun-god, which had been

 planned by his mother. Two points of interest attach to this 
 group, of whicli I accordingly made a photograph, now repro- 
 duced. (1) In view of the comparative rarity of sun-worship at 
 the present day, it is important to get a dated figure of the 
 deity with his attendants. In illustration of this I may mention 
 that none of the pandits to whom I showed the photograph 
 recognised the figure without the inscription, excepting only 
 Dr Bhagvanlal, who tells mo that he means to publish some 
 notes, which will surely be most acceptable, on sun-cult in 
 India. (2) Ya9odeva being unknown as a king of Nepal 
 proper, it is reasonable to suppose that he was a neighbour- 
 ing petty raja ; as such he may have been the father of the 
 first of the new line who about this time (Wright p. 160, and 
 Bhagvanlal, Ind. Ant. Dec. 1884) took possession of the 
 Nepalese throne. It is true that the first of this line is called 
 Vama-(Bclma-)deva, not Viinadeva ; but such errors of a letter 
 where the sound is similar are not uncommon in these 
 vamgdvalis : thus Ananda, known to us from the MS. colophons, 
 is always called Nanda in the chronicles; so too his successor is 
 variously called Mitra and Amrita. I suppijse, then, Vanadeva 
 to have been at this time (A.d. 1083) intriguing (cf Wright, I.e.) 
 as yiivardj with the people of Patau and to have enjoyed 
 his two years of sovereignty about three or four years later. 
 See Appendix III. 
 
 About 20 yards up a lane leading southwards from the 
 same square is a conduit stone with a line or two of chipped 
 and obliterated letters of archaic type. 
 
 The next day was occupied by second visits to the inscriptions 
 near the Jaisi temple in Kathmandu and to Svayambhunath 
 hill to further the investigations summarized above. 
 
 Nov. 18, 19. After a day spent chiefly in work connected 
 with MSS., I walked to the charmingly situated shrine of 
 Gokarna, and attempted to reach from thence the hill of 
 Changunarayana, but being misdirected, had to postpone the 
 visit to another opportunity, which, I regret to state, did 
 not occur. I have written to Nepal, however, for a copy of the 
 missing parts of Pandit Bhagviinliirs reproduction of the im-
 
 10 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 portant inscription there, and venture to hope that after the 
 general progress made in the country siuce the Pandit's attempt 
 seven j^ears ago\ no difficulties will now be experienced in 
 getting the whole copied. 
 
 On Nov. 20 I visited Kirtipur, but failed to find any early 
 inscriptions ; but on my return thence through the southern part 
 of Kathmandu I discovered a conduit inscription in a place 
 called Varam-tol. It is dated [Nepal] Samvat 259 (a.D. 1139), 
 by a curious coincidence the same reign and date as Add. MS. 
 1643, second colophon, in our University Library. The characters 
 have a special interest as being, I think, hitherto unnoticed in 
 inscriptions and bearing a very distinct analogy to the hooked- 
 top written character of the period, peculiar to Nepal, as to 
 which I may be permitted to refer to my remarks in the 
 Palseographical Introduction to my Catalogue of MSS. from 
 Nepal. See Appendix I. 
 
 The language of the inscription is somewhat faulty in its 
 Sanskrit and relates to the construction of the conduit. 
 
 Nov. 21. The archaeological work of the next day was 
 chiefly in Kathmandu. 
 
 Here I took a photographic view now produced in auto- 
 type of a portion of the great Durbar-square, often photo- 
 graphed from tlifferent points. I selected the Kumari-deval 
 at its S.W. corner as a typical Nepalese temple, showing in 
 the background a building somewhat characteristic in style, 
 which Dr D. Wright explains to me to be an annexe to the 
 Durbar, used on ceremonial occasions. 
 
 Further I selected a stupa in a court behind the houses in a 
 narrow but busy street leading northwards from the square and 
 called Etta-tol, as an example of this kind of erection still found 
 even in the middle of the larger towns, and usually standing, 
 as this one does, in large open squares which must be of great 
 sanitary advantage in a place where to western notions every 
 law of health seems reversed'.

 KVACCHA- DEVAL , near PATAN, 
 
 NEPAL
 
 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 11 
 
 In tlie vicinity I found an inscription dated [Nepal] Samvat 
 818 (a.d. 1008), reign of [Bhajskaramalla (see Revised Table, 
 Appendix III.). 
 
 Nov. 22. On this day a second visit to Patan yielded some 
 of the results anticipated in the account of the place given 
 above, and I also took occasion to photograph the Kvaccha-deval 
 which stands outside the town to the N.E. and near the river. 
 From my photograph a lithographic drawing has been made, 
 which is now published. My visit to this temple was due to 
 a drawing (No. 21) in a series prepared some 50 years ago 
 for Mr Brian Hodgson, at once the greatest and least thanked 
 of all our Indian Residents, when in charge at Kathmandu. 
 
 Mr H<xlgson kindly lent me the series for my journey 
 and the present report: and has directed that it is to be 
 hereafter deposited in the India Office Library. I observe 
 that in the drawing in question a smaller, two-storied, temple 
 is added to the right hand of the large one. This is stated 
 in a foot-note to be " Sacred to Sarasvati, built by Tejnara 
 567, Nevvar era"; but there is no trace of this building 
 now. It would be interesting to learn how it disappeared ; it 
 was certainly not pulled down to gain room, as the temple 
 stands quite beyond the town. It occurs to me as possible that 
 Mr Hodgson's native draughtsman, a weak point with whom 
 was trying to get too much into a picture, inserted a temple 
 from some other place to make a pleasing composition. If I 
 could make a longer visit to Nepal, I should certainly try to 
 clear up this point, as 567 (a.d. 1447) is somewhat early for 
 such a build in w as that shown in the drawiuo^. 
 
 Near the N.W. corner of the town stands the temple of 
 
 dition of an ordinary eastern town, say Cairo or Benares, gives one no idea at 
 all of Kathmandu. The nearest thing I found in India were some terrible lanes 
 in the native capital (in most respects so 'advanced') of Jeypore. But as the 
 people seem stronger and far more active than most of the inhabitants of India, 
 sanitary criticism is a little disarmed. It would be certainly a pity, and more- 
 over useless, as Dr Wright points out, to destroy the old buildings, often so 
 charmingly picturesque, simply to api^ly laws made for a less hardy race. I am 
 bound however to add, that since I left Kathmandu, and indeed since I wrote 
 the above lines, a very severe outbreak of cholera has occurred in the town.
 
 12 ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 Kumbhe^vara (^iva), which I have selected lor illustration as a 
 fine and hitherto unnoticed specimen of Nepalese architecture. 
 In the extensive and picturesque courtyard of this temple are 
 several inscriptions. The earliest is clearly and evenly cut on 
 a slab of slate, so smooth as to allow of my making a heel-ball 
 copy. The inscription is dated in Nep. Sam v. 512 (a.d. 1392), 
 and records the foundation of the temple by one Jayabhlma to 
 promote the recovery of his wife from a fever ; Qiva however 
 took her to his heaven ; but the husband kept his word, 
 and with the consent of his second wife Abhayalakshmi and 
 his sons, built a lofty temple (prasada) to (^'iva Kumbhe9vara 
 with torans (trabeate arches), in place of the mere dwelling- 
 house (avasa) which had housed the god before. He likewise 
 cleared the ground and surrounded it by walls, subsequently 
 adding a square-built treasury (?) (chaturmukhako(;a), which, as 
 well as the temple, ho enriched with precious ornaments. I had 
 not time to work out fully the archaeology of this fine temple, 
 but I noted on the main building a long inscription dated 921 
 (a.d. 1801), apparently referring to a restoration. See the 
 autotype reproduction of my negative. 
 
 On the outskirts of the town are the Ipi-tuda chaitya- 
 mound and the Ipi-vihara. The former is of simple form and 
 preserves the wooden poles which aj^pear in Mr Hodgson's sketch 
 of the place \ To the latter, which seemed a typical and ancient 
 vihara, I was not allowed entrance beyond the door. In all 
 matters of this kind I always found the adherents of Buddhism — 
 once the most liberal of religions — more superstitious than the 
 lowest of the Hindus and as intractable as the most bigoted 
 of the Jains of India. 
 
 Close to the above-named temple is a building, obviously a 
 Buddhist vihara, to which, as it has passed into the hands of 
 Hindus, being now a " Bhagvan-deval," I gained access, and 
 photographed the quaint courtyard, in which may be still seen 
 all round the latticed apartments where the reading of the law

 On Nov. 23 — 24 I made a two days' visit to Bhatgaon, 
 staying there in a house kindly placed at my disposal h}^ H. E. 
 the Maharaja. 
 
 To the right of the temple of Bhairava, in one corner of the 
 great square, I found an inscription of Yakshamalla dated 
 N.S. 560 (a.d. 1440), of which I took a rough squeeze. 
 
 Near the celebrated brass gate of the palace I noticed an 
 inscription of Ranajitamalla, dated N.S. 874 (a.d. 1754), the 
 latest date of any document that I have observed previous to 
 the Gorkha conquest. 
 
 In this town I obtained direct access to a collection of MSS., 
 several of which were in Bengali or in Maithili character and 
 dated in the peculiar local Lakshmana Sena Samvat (A.D. 110(5). 
 Amongst others I noted a copy of a rare grammatical com- 
 mentary, the Bhashavritti by Purushottama, and portions of a 
 work called Nyaya(;astrasmriti written at Kathmandu in the 
 vith century of Nepal: a Newari commentary was added to 
 the text and the work seemed similar to the ' Manava-nyaya- 
 ^astra' of Narada, subsequently purchased by me at Kathmandu. 
 In Dhruva-tol I found a small and fragmentary inscribed slab 
 in the centre of a raised platform now chiefly used for 
 threshing. 
 
 Further up the winding lane which forms the chief street of 
 the town, in a place called Golmadhi-tol, I found another inscrip- 
 tion in more perfect condition. This I have already published 
 in the Indian Antiquary for 1885. As there stated, the 
 inscription is to be compared with others of the same two 
 rulers in the series already referred to (see the Indian Anti- 
 quary, Vol. IX. pp. 169 foil.) edited by Drs Bhagvanlal and 
 Biihler, which give the dates of Samvat 84 and 39, referred 
 to the era of (^Jriharsha and thus corresponding to A.D. 640 — 46. 
 Independently of Nepalese evidence, we know from Hiuen 
 Thsang that Am9uvarman flourished in the first half of the 
 viith century A.D. ; so that the date of the present inscription, 
 318, accords perfectly with Al-Berunl's Gupta- Vallabhi era
 
 14 ARCH.*:OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 of A.D. 319\ as we thus get for the iiiscriptiun the date of 
 A.D. 637, which admirably accords with what we know ah-eady 
 of the two rulers just named. Compare now the continuation 
 of the above-cited paper in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. xiil. 
 p. 422, etc. I of course photographed this stone, and the re- 
 production from my negative is given with my transcript in 
 Appendix I. 
 
 The other inscription, as far as it remains, is a duplicate of 
 the same proclamation addressed to the same villagers, together 
 with the inhabitants of several other districts, the boundaries of 
 which are accurately given both by the cardinal points and by 
 land measurements. A reproduction of a portion only of my 
 squeeze of this inscription is given in Appendix I., and this 
 merely on account of the dissimilarity of the style of character 
 from the other. Though of course contemporaneous, the 
 writing is freer and more sloping, and, so to say, cursive in 
 effect. 
 
 Later on I took note of two more inscriptions: the first near 
 the temple of Narayana in Khaumar-tol, the second in a math or 
 quasi-collegiate establishment, behind No. 12 Valacche-tol. I 
 regret that the crowd of idle followers who pursued me into the 
 quiet little courtyard where this inscription, with some others of 
 later date, was fixed, so disturbed the tenants of the math that, 
 on returning to take a copy, I found the door closed against me. 
 I generally found, I may observe, that, in Nepal, where Tibetans 
 and Chinamen attract no notice, the mere dress of a European is 
 sufficient to draw a train of 80 or 40 idlers, which would soon 
 be doubled if an object like a photographic camera were 
 produced. 
 
 It may be noted in illustration of the force of Hindu customs 
 in Nepal just as in the plains, that I observed during my walk 
 through the town a picturesque group in a courtyard listening to 
 a reading of the Bhagavata-purana from the lips of a demonstra- 
 tive guru, who spoke the glokas with much gesticulation and a 
 peculiar unctuousness in the delivery of words like Parameg-

 Indian dates, translated in Indian Antiqiuinj, x. (p. 2()8, foil.).

 vara, that quite gave the effect of " the blessed word 
 Mesopotamia." I fear there were not a dozen people in the 
 town who could understand the Sanskrit of this work any more 
 than the women and children who piously formed part of the 
 congregation, and it is lathcr characteristic of a good deal of 
 such religion, that the chance passer-by, who might have under- 
 stood, was not allowed beyond the threshold. 
 
 My second day at Bhatgiion was partly occupied in photo- 
 graphing inscriptions and other objects, I also took a rough 
 squeeze of the inscription of Yakshamalla noted above. 
 
 On this day I made some further efforts in my search for 
 MSS., and my success was greater than I expected, but my 
 negotiations were, I fear, interfered with by the officiousness 
 of the Nepalese niukliya, or guard in attendance on me. 
 As a general rule I had nothing to complain of in the de- 
 meanour of these men ; on the contrary, on several occasions, 
 so far from acting as spies or standing in the way of my inves- 
 tigations, they were of great use in overcoming the stupid 
 prejudices against strangers manifested especially by the 
 Buddhists of this country. 
 
 Nov. 26. After a day spent in work at MSS., with only 
 short excursions, I made a third visit to Patau. 
 
 After photographing one of the inscriptions noted above, I 
 explored as carefully as possible the western side of the town. 
 Here, in a place called Pumcaligavahar, I found a water- spout 
 inscription bearing characters of the same period as those of the 
 Manadeva inscription noted above at p. 10. Both the dates 
 however and the king's name are so far chipped away as to be, 
 I fear, quite beyond recovery. 
 
 Not far from the same place I found a small tablet of slate 
 dated N.S. 523 (A.D. 1403) and recording in Newari, mixed 
 with Sanskrit, a religious donation " in the reign of the 
 Yuvaraja Jayadharma-malla." In A.D. 1400 (Catal. Introd. p. 
 ix. and table), we find from the colophon of our University 
 Library MS. Add. 1664 a triple regency of Jayadharma with his 
 two younger brothers : from this inscription it would seem that 
 in 1403 Jayasthiti was still alive (as Jayadharma is called
 
 16 ARCH/KOI.OGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 yuvardja), but had abdicated at some time subsequent to A.D. 
 1392 in favour of his three sons ; while subsequently the eldest 
 superseded the other two in the regency. Finally in A.D. 1412 
 we find the second brother Jayajyoti* perhaps reigning alone. 
 It is a curious illustration of the irregularity of the Nepalese 
 chronicles- that none of them, including that recently^ commented 
 on by Dr Bhagvanliil ludrajT, make any mention of these three 
 brothers, but agree in making Yakshamalla the son and 
 immediate successor of Jayasthiti. Compare the revised table 
 of kings of Nepal in Appendix III. 
 
 I proceeded next to photograph the picturesque tank knoAvn 
 as Chayavaha. The Buddhist stupa on the left bears inscriptions 
 dated N.S. 577 and 579 (A.D. 1457—9). 
 
 The whole scene was selected as a favourable and character- 
 istic specimen of the picturesqueness of the Nepalese town, 
 showing as it does specimens of the tumular and pagoda styles 
 of Nepalese religious architecture, and of the equally character- 
 istic domestic work with carved wood fronts and overhanging 
 eaves. 
 
 Nov. 27. On this day H. E. the Maharaja kindly sent me 
 a number of coins to examine. All with one exception were 
 Nepalese silver of the XVllth and XVlllth centuries. I have 
 noted a few dates and kings' names, not hitherto noticed, in my 
 revised table of kings given below in Appendix III. 
 
 But the great event of this day was my visit to the Maharaja's 
 library. I did not, however, enter the room in which the books 
 are usually kept, but the whole collection, consisting of many 
 thousands of MSS., was brought for me from the palace to the 
 Durbar-school building. So much trouble having been taken 
 for my convenience, I made no enquiries as to the library room 
 itself. Possibly the books are usually stored in one of those 
 small rooms in which some of the best Indian collections 
 of manuscripts (e.g. that in the splendid palace at Oodeypore)

 ments from its crabbed dialect.

 are even now kept and which contrast so curiously with 
 European ideas of a commodious library. If this bo the 
 case, we must hope that educational progress\ now, we trust, 
 commencing in Nepal, will extend to the affording of still 
 greater and more regular facilities for the study of the unique 
 literature of the country preserved in this collection of MSS., in 
 many respects, as we shall see, the finest in India. 
 
 Several pandits were assembled to assist me, among them 
 Damaruvallabha Panta, known as a scholar beyond his native 
 countr}'' and noAV teacher of Sanskrit in the itdthsdld. As to 
 the obliging library-staff, I will only say that, however the 
 books are kept, they are found with a quickness that many a 
 European library cannot equal. As far as I know, I am the 
 only European who has seen this collection, but some informa- 
 tion as to its contents has on two occasions been placed in 
 European hands. 
 
 One of these accounts is to be found in the lists sent to the 
 University Library by Dr D. Wright, of which an abstract is 
 given in my catalogue at p. 17: but I always understood that, so 
 far from having seen the collection, he had doubts as to its 
 existence; hence the remark there added, "It is impossible to say 
 whether such a collection really exists," a statement which I am 
 now glad to be able to reverse. 
 
 Another account is to be found in an official paper — like so 
 many others, unknown to the few whom it might really benefit 
 — kindly unearthed for my enlightenment by Mr A. Mackenzie, 
 Home Secretary to the Government of India, at his office in 
 Calcutta, during my subsequent visit to that place. It 
 bears the somewhat strange title : "List of Sanskrit Works 
 supposed by the Nepalese Pandits to be rare in the Nepalese 
 Libraries at Khatmandoo." At the end occurs the subscription: 
 "R. Lawrence, Resident, Nepal Residency. 
 The 2nd of August, 1868." 
 
 1 The very existence of the building in wliich I saw the books is a proof of 
 this. Ten years ago (1875) Dr Wright wrote, " The subject of schools and colleges 
 in Nepal may be treated as briefly as that of snakes in Ireland — there are none." 
 Now we have at least one building in which both English and Sanskrit are taught, 
 and, as I have every reason to believe, well taught.

 18 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 That both this and Dr Wright's lists refer to the real 
 collcctiou seen by me, was proved by the classes of" literature, 
 which correspond exactly, in name and in number of books, with 
 the rough but classified list of books which was first placed at 
 my service at this visit to the library. There have been, how- 
 ever, very numerous accessions : nor can the rough list be any- 
 thing like complete, for the MSS. in the library are counted not 
 by hundreds merelv, but by thousands. 
 
 I may add that I mentioned to H.E. the Maharaja, a possible 
 application for copies of works in the library, and found fi-om 
 the pandits in charge that the services of a copyist could be 
 readily secured. I trust therefore that efforts will be made to 
 obtain copies of some of the rare works which I now proceed to 
 mention.

 It would be of especial value to our library to obtain a copy 
 of this fine MS., as we possess the only fragments of this 
 grammar known to exist in Europe. My present acquisitions 
 have all but completed the text, while we have several 
 fragments of unidentified commentaries, which this MS. would 
 put us in the way of assigning to their authors.

 commentary is, I believe, quite unknown. 
 
 I next give a list of plays, of which the first onl}^ appears 
 in Lawrence's list :

 None of these plays have been met with in India. I had 
 unfortunately no time to examine them and to find how many 
 were, like No. 2, local productions. 
 
 In Ji/otisha (astronomy and astrology) I took notes of what 
 seemed to me new, chiefly on behalf of Dr Thibaut of Benares, 
 who is doing important work in this branch of literature. On 
 my return to Benares I found that most of the works I had noted 
 were unknown to him and to his accomplished astronomical 
 pandit, Sudhakara Dube, of whom I shall speak later on. I may 
 add that, though I can pretend to no special knowledge of the 
 subject, so as to sift astronomical wdieat from astrological chaff, 
 I believe the works whose titles I subjoin to be of considerable 
 rarity.

 This is a most important work, and a copy should certainly 
 be asked for.

 My opportunity of examining this fine collection was only for 
 the tantalising space of about four hours, for on the following day, 
 when by this time I was just getting my arrangements for the 
 acquisition of MSS. into good working order, I was obliged, 
 owing to an intimation from the Resident given some days before, 
 to leave the Government bungalow, which I had been occupying 
 during my stay. The reason of this was an official visit from an 
 officer of the Public Works Department. I regret extremely, 
 on my own account and for those interested in my journey, that 
 this circumstance should have put an abrupt end to my visit. 
 Had I been fully aware of the conditions under which I resided 
 in Nepal, I should have made negotiations (and these would 
 have been, as I infer from subsequent experience, of a simple 
 kind) for permission to occupy the tenement for a much longer 
 time. As it was, I had no alternative but to leave the country^

 two towns in the Tarai, Loth unknown to scientific travel ; but the want of a 
 pandit or native agent to accompany me decided me not to avail myself of this 
 privilege. Should I be enabled to visit Nepal again, I have little doubt the pass 
 could be renewed, and I should then make a point of securing the assistance of 
 some person like my friend Pandit Bhagvanlal. Is it too much to hope that 
 the government of Nepal may some day see their way to do something in the cause 
 of archasological research in their country, so rich in records of the past ? We 
 note with satisfaction that several of the more enlightened native states, like

 I believe it will be seen from the foregoing pages that I 
 found sufficient archteological work to keep nic busily occupied 
 (luring my brief stay. My collection of Buddhist and other 
 MSS. acquired in Nepal more than realises my own expecta- 
 tions of the probable success of even a much longer stay. 
 
 The architectural studies which I had proposed to myself 
 were almost entirely precluded by want of time. I had as a 
 rule barely time to put down my notes of dates, etc., and on no 
 occasion could I feel that time permitted the taking of measure- 
 ments and accurate observation of details, to which Mr 
 Fergusson refers in his work on Indian Architecture (p. 
 299 sq(|.) as a great desideratum for the proper study of 
 this interesting chapter of Oriental art-history. 
 
 After several days' uneventful journey I reached Calcutta, 
 Avhere my work was much helped by the friendly and scholarly 
 kindness of Dr Hornle and of Mr C. H. Tawney, formerly 
 Fellow of Trinity College, to whom indeed, as already intimated 
 in my preliminary Report, I am also indebted for help elsewhere 
 in India. 
 
 Here no MSS. are to be had (so far as I know), except perhaps 
 a few modern works from Orissa, of which I have brought one 
 specimen. This is merely a Bhagavata-purana, which the 
 owner, Mr L. J. K. Brace, Assistant Curator of the Botanical 
 Gardens, desired me to present to the British Museum, in 
 connection with certain botanical specimens of which I proceed 
 to speak. 
 
 I visited the Botanic Garden of Calcutta — the most beautiful 
 of the kind I ever saw — mainly to obtain dried specimens 
 for the University Library of the various kinds of palm-leaf 
 used for writing purposes, and these the same gentleman has 
 kindly sent, and they are deposited in the library accordingly. 
 I had never succeeded in obtaining very definite information on 
 
 Jeypore, have engaged in such work : and it is clear from the events at the 
 great Rawal-pindi durbar this year that Nejial no longer desires to pursue a 
 policy of entire isolation from the current of civihzation in India generally. I 
 need hardly add that I should always be most willing and ready to avail myself 
 of any practicable opportunity of personally directing or in any way furthering 
 any scheme towards this end.
 
 22 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REl'ORT. 
 
 this point from botanical friends at home, but Pandit Ume^a- 
 candra Qarma, the courteous librarian of the Sanskrit College, 
 Calcutta, pointed out to me that many of the best MSS. were 
 written, not on the leaf of the common talipot palm (talapattra), 
 (Borassus flabelliformis), but on the more finely grained leaf of 
 the teret (Corypha taliera and C. elata). 
 
 In the Calcutta Museum, the archaeological part of which has 
 recently been admirably arranged and catalogued by the 
 Curator, Dr Anderson, I took copies of many of the unpub- 
 lished inscriptions ; but I understand that they will shortly be 
 dealt with by Mr J. F. Fleet in his forthcoming volume on 
 Gupta inscriptions. 
 
 As ti) the specimen of a hitherto unnoticed character, 
 coinciding with the writing of a unique MS. fragment brought 
 by me from Nepal, I may refer to my notes in Part li. § 2 
 below (Candravyakarana). These are given in anticipation of a 
 fuller study of this character, which I propose to publish here- 
 after, since, as far as I can judge at present, this discovery seems 
 to be among the most interesting of my journey. 
 
 In the library of the Asiatic Society I examined the 
 colophon of the oldest of the MSS. sent from Nepal by 
 Mr Hodgson. As mentioned in one of the reviews [Athenceum, 
 Jan, 5, 1884) of the Society's recently published catalogue of 
 this collection, entitled Kepalese Buddhist Literature, some 
 misapprehension seemed to exist as to the date of this MS. The 
 results of my reading are given in Appendix III., in my supple- 
 mental table of kings of Nepal, where the date and king's name 
 well accord with chronological results already established. 
 
 I also took advantage of my stay in Calcutta to read some 
 portions of Sanskrit philosophical works, the full meaning of 
 which is rarely understood by European scholars unless they 
 have had the advantage of instruction derived directly or 
 indirectly from the traditional school of interpretation in India. 
 In this matter and in many others I have to acknowledge the 
 very kind help of Professor Mahe(;acandra Nyayaratna, Principal 
 of the Government Sanskrit College. I was very glad to be able 
 to call myself his prapshi/a (pupil's pupil). Perhaps in this

 iron age tlie parampard (spiritual succession) can be passed on 
 even through and to nilecchas; at any rate the best of brahmans 
 could not have received kinder attention than I from the 
 Professor and his pupil and assistant lecturer, Raghunath (^astri. 
 
 To the same friend and to another of his pupils, Babu 
 Haraprasada Vandyopadhyaya, I am indebted for a most in- 
 teresting afternoon spent in visiting two native schools for 
 Sanskrit. A similar visit had been made two years before by 
 Professor J. Jolly of Wlirzburg, who records his experiences 
 most graphically in the Deutsche Rundschau for 1884 \ The 
 first of these schools is j^icturesquel}' situated on the Hooghly 
 bank above Calcutta at Shamnagar. The building was given 
 by the liberal Tagore (Thakur) family, and, in spite of the 
 doubtless sanctifying influence of lingas and sluines, shows, I 
 regret to say, distinctly European influence in style. 
 
 Within, however, all is Oriental : not a chair in the place, 
 except some kindly kept (I presume) for the infirmity of 
 European visitors : teachers on the cushions surrounded by 
 knots of pupils. In the highest class — that of the Nyaya 
 philosophy — I found pupils of ages from fourteen to forty, some 
 coming from distant parts of India. At the instance of Prof. 
 Mahe^acandra they had a disputation, much like one of our old 
 Cambridge " Wrangles ", in which was established, for my edifi- 
 cation, after the rules of this philosophy, the existence of God. 
 
 To the next place, Bhatpara, I was conducted by Babu Hara- 
 prasada, a collaborateur in Dr Riijendralala Mitra's Nepalese 
 Buddliist Literature, and met there by Babu Hrishike^a, both 
 of them representatives of the few remaining old Bengali families 
 who have for generations taken pride in endowing these simple 
 seats of learning. It would be well, I think, for some dis- 
 believers in Hindu disinterestedness, if they could see this body of 
 venerable teachers, living in simple, dignified poverty, feeding 
 as well as teaching their poorer pupils. How much in fact is 
 known about such institutions by our Anglo-Indian friends, 
 often so ready to generalize about the character of "the natives," 
 may be estimated from the circumstance, that, though the place

 is only a few miles from tlie metropolis, I was (so I heard) only 
 the third European who had ever visited it. 
 
 After a Cliristmas most pleasantly spent with Mr G. A. 
 Grierson, joint compiler with my last host at Calcutta, Dr 
 Hornle, of the great work of a scientific Bihari dictionary, I 
 passed on to Benares. 
 
 On ground so well-trodden it might scarcely have been 
 expected that any fresh archaeological discoveries would fall to 
 my lot. Yet in a garden near the Raj Ghat I found a fragment 
 of 10 lines in a character not later than the Xlth century. As 
 the stone was presented to me, I shall be able, when I have had 
 leisure to examine it more carefully, to offer this, my single 
 specimen of an original and not a mere copy of an inscription, 
 to one of our University Museums. 
 
 The chief results of this second visit to Benares are to be 
 found in my list of MSS. in Part II. 
 
 I also made some enquiries as to the Jain community of 
 Benares. Owing to the kind introduction of the Baja Qiva- 
 prasada C.S.I. , himself a member of an old Jain family, I 
 obtained access to the printing-press, and also to the library, 
 connected with the Mandir, or Jain temple. The JMandaliicarya 
 kindly had a transcript made, for my use, of his list of MSS., 
 adding a promise to allow copies to be taken. This transcript 
 I give in Appendix II., merely transliterating it and correcting 
 a few obvious slips, but without attempting to verify the exact 
 form of each title. 
 
 This library, not previously, I believe, visited by any 
 European, may prove critically important to editors of Jain 
 texts, as Jain MSS. are, as a rule, obtained from Western India. 
 Though the community is of the (^vetambar sect, the library 
 contains Digambar works also, e.g. the Kathako^a^ of which I 
 negotiated for a copy. This arrived in England shortly after 
 I did. 
 
 ^ As there appear to be several collections of Jain tales with this general title, 
 I may explain that the work referred to is that commencing with the story of 
 Dhanada, Two tales from it have been printed by Prof. Nllamani Nyfiyalankara 
 in his Sahityaparicaya from the Calcutta Sanslu'it College MS., on which 
 document the editor has, in more senses than one, 'left his mark.'
 
 ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 25 
 
 At the invitation of my friend Pandit Dhundhiraja Dharm- 
 adhikrirl I attended a committee meeting of the new library 
 started by the pandits of Benares, chiefly, I nnderstand, at the 
 suggestion of the pandit just named, in memory of the dis- 
 tinguished scholar Biila (^astri, and called Bala Sarasvati- 
 bhavana. The great feature of this library is that it is a place 
 of deposit for MSS. on loan, not necessarily for good and all. 
 If the very numerous owners of MSS. in the city can be induced 
 only to deposit their books there, many of the characteristic 
 risks incidental to their j)reservation in Indian houses will be 
 avoided, and many rare books will doubtless come to light. At 
 the same time, pandits are encouraged to bequeath works to 
 the institution. 
 
 At the meeting^ that I attended a scheme was also started 
 for making search as to the contents of the private libraries of 
 the city. It is indeed satisfactory, when one hears of difficulties 
 placed in the way of the various Government officers in their 
 search for MSS., to find here a body of native scholars willing 
 not only to make known their own treasures, but to assist 
 voluntarily and unofficially in the great work of literary search. 
 One practical advantage of the institution to European 
 scholars is, that it affords an opportunity of getting accurately 
 made copies of almost any of the numerous works used by the 
 pandits of Benares. Editors of philosophical texts especially 
 may thus at once encourage a good institution and get an 
 accurate copy by applying here. 
 
 As to the Government College Library, its present condition 
 under Dr Thibaut and Pandit Sudhakar seems most flourishing. 
 MSS. are constantly added, as far as the limited funds allowed 
 by Government permit. It is however extremely unsatisfactory 
 and discreditable to Benares to find that many of the works 
 registered in Dr F. Hall's Bihliorjraphical Index as belonging to 
 this library 27 years ago are not now forthcoming. 
 
 A circumstance of this kind, occurring in the metropolis of 
 
 1 I subsequently found an account of this meeting given in the Kavivacana- 
 sudha, a Hindi journal of Benares for January 19th, 1885. My remarks on the 
 occasion occupy a very unmeritedly large space, I fear, in the report.
 
 2G ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 Hindu learning and religion, ought to be borne in mind by 
 all impartial persons in considering remarks like those of 
 Dr Peterson at the end of his first Report on Sanskrit MSS. 
 (1882 — 3, p. 72), directed against the sending of Sanskrit MSS. 
 to Europe \ 
 
 I had little time to spend in examination of the MSS. of 
 the library, but amongst the philosophical books I noted the 
 fullowino- as supplying information supplementary to that 
 given by Hall. 
 
 (1) Two palm -leaf copies of the Nyayalilavati-praka^a, 
 written in Upper Bengal in the years of the Lakshmana era 
 889 and 395 (a.d. 1496 and 1501) respectively. 
 
 (2) The Nyayavacaspati, a work of which I have not 
 found any mention in Hall, or in any other work of reference, 
 unless it be, as Prof. Co well has suggested to me, the Nyaya- 
 varttika-tatparya-tika (Hall, 21). Palm-leaf, (^aka 1531 (a.d. 
 1009). 
 
 (3) Kanadarahasya, an old copy acquired since Dr Hall's 
 
 time. 
 
 (4) Pra^astapadavacya (? °bhashya), Qakci 1530 (a.d. 
 1608). 
 
 I trust that before long we may get a good catalogue of this 
 important library, so that the world may be enlightened as to 
 
 1 Dr Peterson will, I know, pardon me for adding a few words in self-defcnco 
 as a collector for European libraries. 
 
 It seems to me that, without appealing to any national prejudices, which are 
 out of place iu questions of scholarship, a book is best kept wherever it is most 
 safely and, in all senses, liberally kept. 
 
 As for the safety of MSS., every collector has his tale to tell of fine books 
 packed away in roofs of houses, etc., and preyed on by damp and insects or other 
 vermin. At all events the white ant has not yet been imported into our libraries. 
 
 As for liheruUty in arrangement and description, let me i^oiut out that, in spite 
 of their advantages in respect of learned and helpful pandits, scholars in India, 
 excepting Dr Rajendralal Mitra and the late Dr Burnell, have given us nothing 
 worthy of the name of a Catalogue. 
 
 Lastly as to liheralitij in lendinc], some Indian readers might well suppose in 
 reading the above-cited passage that " sending to Europe" meant never coming 
 back. Yet I am glad to be able to say that, while yet in India, I was the means 
 of a well-known native Sanskritist's applying for and receiving a very ancient 
 and valuable Sanskrit MS. from an ICnglish library.
 
 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 27 
 
 the gains uiuler the present excellent regime, as well as the 
 losses since the appearance of Dr Hall's notes, which form so 
 excellent a basis for the philosophical portion of such a compi- 
 lation. 
 
 Besides much assistance generously rendered by Pandit 
 Dhundhiraja, I received help in various ways from Dr Thibaut 
 and Mr Venis of the Government College ; also from Pandit 
 Vindhyecjvariprasada, whose knowledge of bibliography is excep- 
 tionally wide; and from Pandits Lakshmiuarayana Kavi and 
 Sudhakara Dube. The last named, who is the present librarian 
 of the college, presented me with copies of several of his 
 astronomical and mathematical works, written in Sanskrit. I 
 am unfortunately not able to give an opinion on the scientific 
 value of these, but I have deposited them in the University 
 Library in the hope that they may be noticed, as I am informed 
 by Dr Thibaut that Pandit Sudhakara is a mathematician of 
 considerable originality, and that his researches deserve far more 
 recognition than they have received, owing to his want of 
 command of literary English. Dr Thibaut adds that he is 
 willing to translate into English original papers by this pandit 
 for reading before any suitable scientific society in Europe. 
 
 After some memorable days spent in Agra and its 
 neighbourhood, I passed on to Jeypore. 
 
 Here I visited the very interesting library of H. H. the 
 Maharaja several times, permission — quite exceptional I believe 
 in the absence of the prince — being most kindly granted me to 
 visit it as often as I i-ecpiired. Some particulars as to this fine 
 collection are to be found in Dr Peterson's first Report (1882 — 
 83). Much information will doubtless soon be at the disposal 
 of scholars, as the work of cataloguing the collection is proceed- 
 ing under the skilled hands of Lakshminatha (^^astri of Benares, 
 assisted by Krishna (^^astri. Both of these pandits gave the most 
 cordial help in my work at the library, and have been, I may 
 add, in friendly communication with me since my return. In 
 anticipation, I give a few notes on works that seem to be unique 
 or otherwise remarkable. Under the subdivision of Ramanuja 
 philosophy, a school n(;t much represented in libraiies owing to
 
 28 ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT, 
 
 its peculiar views as to tlic promulgation of its tenets, I found 
 the following- works.

 uiiirks. 
 
 1. VeddrtlLasahgraha by Eanuituija, a MS. of 37 leaves ; 
 rare, but known to Hall, and quite recently printed at 
 Madras in tlie Telugu character. 
 Dar^ana 2. A commentary on the preceding called Vcddrthasaugra- 
 J4- and 6 Jiatdtparya-dlpikd by Sudarqana Suri, who is known as a 
 commentator on Eamanuja's Cribhashya. The present 
 commentary has, I believe, not been hitherto met with. 
 
 3. TattvamuhtdkalCipa by Venkatacaiya, sometimes called 
 Venkatanatha. Can this be the work cited in the 
 Sarvadar^ana-saiigraha (see Cowell and Gough's transla- 
 tion, p. 86, note) 1 
 
 In Jyotisha I noted : 
 
 Jyotish 4. lidjamrigdnka by Bhojadeva, a personage to whom 
 
 ■io.d several works in various branches of literature are 
 
 attrilaited. This copy was made in Caka 1450 (a. d. 
 
 1528) by Jyotirvid C'ridatta son of Saiika (?) "^TW- 
 
 In dramatic literature I noted a couple of local productions : 
 Kuvya 5. Janakirdghava-ndtaka, attributed to the Yuvardj 
 
 Ramasiniha, son of Jayasimha, who was reigning about 
 
 A.D. 1G25. MS. written A.D. 1G64. 
 Kfivya C. PrabhdvaU, a play in four acts, composed by Hari- 
 
 jlvana Migra at the command of the said Ramasimha

 I may also mention : 
 
 37.8 7. J/dsdmrita, a farce composed by Yitthalakiishua Vi- 
 dyavaglga at the command of Sujanasiinlia, described 
 as reigning in Bandclkhand ; 16 leaves. 
 
 8. Pdrthapardhrama, a vydijo'ja in about 500 <;J()his, by 
 a yuvardj called Prahlada. Tiiis is followed by the 
 beginning of a play called 
 
 9. Dutdh'jada by liamachandra. 
 
 I noted next two pandits' plays, written on the model of the 
 rrabodhacandrodaya, and intended to illustrate philosophy :

 Kavya 10. Svannhliuti-iwfaka by Ananta Paiulita son of Tryani-

 37.1 11. Krishnabhakticandrikd by Anantadeva, author of 
 
 tlie Smritikaustubha, wlio flourished at the beginning 
 
 of the XVI I th cent. 
 12. Ghritakulyd, a farce iu about 250 qlohas. MS. dated 
 
 V. S. 1731 (A.D. 1674). 
 
 The above with the exception of No. 11 (as to which see 
 Biihler, Cat. MSS. ia Gujarat II. 116) are, I believe, unknown. 
 I noted also two copies of the 
 
 37.6 .13. Latakamelana by Caiikhadhara, a farce apparently 
 satirising the Digambara Jains, who however speak 
 ordinary dramatic Prakrit. Dr Biihler {Cat. Guj. II. 
 .122), and also Dr Peterson in his second Report (for 
 1883 — 4) note copies of this. 
 
 I visited of course, as all travellers do, the ruined city of 
 Amber, the former capital of the state. At a place so much in 
 the track of visitors I scarcely expected to find any thing of fresh 
 archasological interest, but it is a characteristic proof of the 
 amount of quite elementary work still remaining to be done in 
 Indian Archceology, that, in a small, though not ruined, Temple of 
 the Sun overlooking the town I found a short inscription bearing 
 a date nearly half a century earlier than anything hitherto 
 known in connexion with the place. See Appendix I. 
 
 I will add here a suggestion made by my kind host Dr T. M. 
 Hendley, who was my guide on this occasion, that the fine 
 'Jagatsohana' temple in this ruined town might give many most 
 useful hints to the architects of Christian churches in India. 
 Indeed not only the main buildings, but the whole precincts 
 present a strong and curious analogy to an ecclesiastico-collegiate 
 establishment. 
 
 According to my custom of visiting schools where Sanskrit 
 is still taught on the traditional plan, I went to H. H. the 
 Maharaja's Sanskrit Pnfhsald, where I was kindly received and 
 shown round by Pandits Rambhaja and (Jivaram. Everything, 
 as far as one can judge, seems progressing favourably on the old 
 lines.
 
 30 ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 During my stay at Jc3"porc, I liad the pleasure of many 
 interviews with Pandit Durgaprasada, wliose knowledge and 
 appreciation of literature are most exceptionally wide. 
 
 I next spent a day or two at Ajniere, where I copied the large 
 Xllth century Sanskrit inscription carefully preserved in the 
 famous Arhal-din-ka Jhopra. Strangely enough, it seems to be 
 still unpublished. 
 
 Hence I passed on to Nimbahera, whence Col. Walter, 
 Resident at Oodeypore, had kindly arranged a dak for me to 
 Oodeypore. 
 
 In this city, in situation the most beautifuP perhaps in India, 
 I spent a short time, without however achieving any of the 
 success in the matter of MSS. gained by Dr Peterson some years 
 before. I attribute this to my want of an agent. Dr Peterson 
 had sent on his native assistants previously, and they no doubt 
 materially prepared the way for him. Sliould I visit India again, 
 I should make a point of securing the services of some pandit to 
 assist me in this way. 
 
 In archaeology, however, I found at Oodeypore many matters 
 of interest ; and here I was most materially helped by Babu 
 Qyamal Das, Kaviraj (court poet or herald) to H. H. the 
 Maharana. My courteous host Col. Walter had kindly informed 
 him of my approaching visit and its purposes, and the Kaviraj 
 lost no time in extending to me the right hand of fellowship, 
 
 I proceed to give a short account of tlie literary work, a 
 very important one in my opinion, on which the Kaviraj is 
 engaged. The chief families of Rajputana have usually 
 employed a herald or family bard, who has in some sort 
 chronicled their deeds. Babu (^-yamal Das has made a most 
 fitting use of his position as royal herald in causing these to be 
 collected and having digests made of their contents. From 
 these, and from the general chronicles and royal vammvalls, 
 which are extant for the state of Oodeypore (or Meywar), the

 " L^Iiide des Rajahs'" (p. 174), and the still more eloquent words of Dr Peterson

 supposed the strictly literary traveller may sometimes allow himself.

 Kaviraj is compiling a history of tl)is state. I was much 
 surprised to find in his library a very fine collection of books in 
 all the chief European languages, beaiing on the history and 
 topography of Rajputana. Bearing in mind, however, how 
 much history and panegyric run into one another in Eastern 
 literature, it is most important to find that, supplementing his 
 work, is a systematically collected series of inscriptions, which 
 exist in such numbers in these parts. The growing interest 
 (though still it is surprisingly small) felt by native scholars in 
 their own ancient monuments and the records they bear, is one 
 of the encouraging sides of the influence of Western thought in 
 India, though one must confess that Europeans may still do 
 much to make up fur the influences, so deteriorating in many 
 ways, which they and their civilization have brought to bear on 
 native morality and native art. 
 
 But to resume. By the direction of my kind friend I was 
 guided to several spots interesting both for architecture and 
 inscriptions. My guide was Pandit Rampratap, who has worked 
 specially for the inscription section of the forthcoming history. 
 The pandit is in the employment of the Durbar, and his services 
 both here and later at Chittor were kindly placed at my disposal 
 by H. H. the Maharana, with whom I had more than one 
 interview, at which he manifested a most friendly interest in 
 the objects of my visit. 
 
 I visited of course the celebrated royal cemetery, the 
 Mahasati, as to which Mr Fergusson^ remarks: "All [the 
 tombs] are crowned by domes and all make more or less 
 pretensions to architectural beauty ; while as they are grouped 
 together as accident dictated and interspersed with noble trees, it 
 would be difficult to point to a more beautiful cemetery 
 anywhere." Possibly the place has been somewhat neglected 
 since Mr Fergusson wrote ; at present the beautiful and varied 
 effect of the architecture is seriously marred by the weeds and 
 imdergrowth, and by the want of suitable paths. Outside the 
 precincts of the cemetery proper I was shewn by the pandit 
 several smaller tombs, which he told me were those of ministers 
 
 ' ITistory of TiiiJiiDi Airliiferfiirr. p. t7l.

 of the state. Several of these are evidently of considerable age 
 and merit attention. 
 
 Not far from this is the village of Ar or Ahar, abounding in 
 objects of archaeological interest, which have never been properly 
 described. There are several Jain temples, not all of them at 
 present in use. In one I noted an interesting series of shrines 
 built round the square lower end of a temple courtyard. These 
 were later additions and in almost every case bore the name 
 of the donor and date of erection, the dates being mostly 
 of the XlVth century. Some of the images contained in them, 
 however, if not the buildings themselves, were of earlier date. 
 I noted one fine undraped figure of a Tirthamkara or Jain 
 'apostle' bearing date [Vikrama] Samvat 1031 (A. D. 974). Just 
 outside one corner of the temple wall and on a lower level, so as 
 to be partially excavated, were cells in which the monks formerly 
 resided. Many of these have short inscriptions in Prakrit, and 
 bear dates chiefly of the XVIth century of the Vikrama era. 
 
 Besides the Jain temples we find in Ar traces of forms of 
 cult a little removed from the ordinary run of Hindu temple 
 worship. In a temple close by that just described I noted a 
 shrine of a Naga or serpent, which I think is of somewhat rare 
 occurrence in modern India. The image was four or five feet 
 high and was erected in the xviith century. 
 
 The next record is that of sun-worship, comparatively rare, 
 as already observed, and little studied or scientifically understood 
 in India. I found here no temple of the sun, as at Amber 
 (p. 29), but a fragment of an inscription, from which it would 
 appear that in the reign of (^aktikumara (x — xith cent.) the 
 previously existing practice of offering each year 14 drammas 
 {hpa-^Qxai) of some oblation to the sun was formally confirmed. 
 This inscription may serve as another instance of the large 
 amount of archaeological work still to be done in India. I 
 discovered it on a piece of marble built into some steps leading 
 to the terrace where stands the Jain temple just described. 
 Here it had escaped the notice of my excellent guide Pandit 
 Rrimpratap, though he was evidently fiimiliar with these little 
 visited temples and tlicir iiiscri])tions.
 
 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 33 
 
 The Pandit has sent me quite recently, too late indeed for 
 me to publish it, as he kindly desired, in the present work, a 
 beautifully executed squeeze and transcript of another inscrip- 
 tion discovered by him since my visit in the same locality and 
 containing mention of the same king. 
 
 The fine Sanskrit library of the palace, where I was most 
 kindly received by my friend the Kaviraj and a number of 
 pandits assembled in my honour, calls for no description from 
 mo, as Dr Peterson's "Detailed Report for 1882 — 83," an extra 
 number of the Bombay Asiatic Society's Journal, is in the 
 hands of all scholars. In the library catalogue, which will, I 
 trust, during the present reign be ami^lified and ultimately 
 printed, I noted a small work of a few lines only on a strange 
 subdivision of (^ilpa-^astra, the construction of beds, certainly 
 very late, as the (xvth century) Vastu-mandana is quoted. It 
 seemed to me of some interest to find an addition to this 
 division of literature (constructive art), always so thinly 
 represented in Indian libraries, composed at so late a date in the 
 classical language, and a copy was kindly presented to me, which 
 I keep as a souvenir of my visit and also to help in affording 
 material for studies in this little-studied branch of literature, 
 which I hope to prosecute when I have leisure. 
 
 I was now permitted to visit the ruins of the ancient city- 
 fortress of Chittor in the same state, the scene and often the 
 very centre of Rajput and Musulman warfare for so many 
 centuries. Here again I profited by the excellent guidance of 
 Pandit Rampratap, who had spent three months on the spot 
 copying the very numerous inscriptions bearing on Rajput 
 history, and doubtless also searching for fresh ones under the 
 piles of ruins on every side. 
 
 I observed with regret that the tree noticed by Major H. H. 
 Cole in his first Report on Ancient Monuments (p. clxxxii), as 
 growing on the top of the older of the towers of Victory, was 
 still unremoved. Not far from the famous tower of Khumbo 
 Rana, and above the tank called by Major Cole the gau mukh, 
 is a cave, which has apparently been used as a Jain hermitage. 
 In it are several Prakrit inscriptions, in characters that appear

 to bo of about the xivth century. I have copies of several, and 
 should they turn out interesting I shall publish them before 
 long. To have made a detailed study of them just now would, 
 with the unfortunately very limited amount of daylight leisure 
 at my command, have delayed the present publication too 
 long. 
 
 My stay in Chittor was limited to a part of a day, and I 
 could not but feel with some regret what a field for historical, 
 archaeological and artistic discovery I was leaving in the state 
 of Meywar, both here and nearer the capital. It is certainly 
 strange that more work of this kind has not been done here- 
 abouts. The Government of India, which has of late manifested 
 practical interest in archseological research, certainly seems 
 hitherto to have been rarely successful in gaining the services of 
 officers at once qualified to criticize the artistic and constructive 
 details of ancient buildings and to interpret and digest the 
 documentary evidence, both literary and monumental, connected 
 with them. 
 
 Passing hence to Indore, I endeavoured, in this instance 
 without success, to prosecute my work of collecting MSS. A 
 short visit to the ancient city of Ujjain, or rather to the very 
 modern representative of the old city, proved also unavailing. 
 So far from finding traces of the ancient astronomical learning 
 for which the town was once renowned, I found the pandits 
 scarcely conversant, it would seem, even with the names of the 
 chief works on the subject. 
 
 As my allotted time of absence was now drawing to a close, 
 I returned to Bombay, where I met by appointment Pandit 
 Bhagvan Das, who has long been the energetic agent of the 
 Bombay Government for the collection of Sanskrit MSS. By a 
 minute of this Government the agent is allowed to sell duplicates 
 of works in the Government collections for the use of certain 
 institutions in this country, of which our University Library is 
 one. A rough list of the fine collection that I purchased from 
 him is given in Part II. § 1. 
 
 I left Bombay for Europe on March 1st. 
 
 Thus terminated a tour which, if it has not resulted in any
 
 ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 35 
 
 literary or archoeological discoveries of first-rate importance, — 
 such as can only be reasonably looked for in the work of 
 travellers of greater experience and leisure, — may nevertheless, 
 I believe, be held to have justified the grounds of my appli- 
 cation to the University in respect of the Worts Fund. 
 
 There now only remains to me the pleasing duty of acknow- 
 ledging the sympathy and assistance I have received from 
 various quarters. In referring first, as becomes me in the 
 present work, to the liberality of the University, as manifested 
 in the grant from the fund just named, I wish particularly to 
 testify to the great encouragement I received not only from the 
 benefaction itself, but from the generous conditions under which 
 it was bestowed. The only condition in fact was the prepara- 
 tion of a Report, — a provision which the present work is 
 designed to fulfil ; and in view of the friendly and unsparing 
 way in which the Syndics of our University Press have met my 
 wishes as to its publication, I may say that this very condition 
 has been turned into an additional privilege. 
 
 I venture thus to call attention to the circumstances under 
 which I worked for the University, not because I would imply 
 that to those acquainted with the history of the English 
 Universities such treatment will seem at all exceptional, but 
 because I feel bound to bear witness, which many fellow- 
 workers can confirm, to the great stimulus to exertion afforded 
 by such frank confidence, unhampered by the cramping restric- 
 tions by which scholarship amongst us, when encouraged at all, 
 is too often hindered. 
 
 My project of travelling so many thousands of miles, and 
 buying everything of literary value to me on my way, which 
 seemed a somewhat ambitious one, was also encouraged and 
 furthered by the very kind and timely assistance of two friends. 
 Professor Cowell and the Reverend A. J. Harvey, M.A., of St. 
 James's, Paddington. 
 
 Owing to the great kindness and hospitality of the residents 
 in almost every part of India that I visited, my journey was 
 unexpectedly attended with so little expense that I had no 
 occasion to avail myself of the funds lent by these friends for 
 
 3—2
 
 36 ARCH^OLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 
 
 the purchase of MSS., but my obligation, and indirectly I may 
 perhaps add, that of the University, is none the less. 
 
 The names of many friends and fellow-scholars in India, who 
 so kindly entertained and in every way assisted me, will have 
 been met with in the foregoing pages ; nor would it have been 
 so necessary to dwell on their kindness but for the recent 
 publication of the rather crude ' ideas ' of an English traveller, 
 which I found had produced a most unpleasant effect upon the 
 various societies that had done their best to receive him 
 cordially ; and, I must add, doubtless did an amount of mischief 
 among the natives that the writer could perhaps hardly realize \ 
 
 ^ I say mischief : for, althougla the paper (since separately i^ubhshed under 
 the title 'Ideas about India') contains many true and forcible remarks (or, it 
 may be, random shots that occasionally hit the mark), and this may be very 
 salutary reading for some Anglo-Indians, or even for Englishmen at home, if 
 other more thorough books be read in connexion, yet to native readers the 
 whole tone will be most misleading. 
 
 As to the i^assage in Mr W. Scawen Blunt's first paper (Fortnighthj Rcvieic, 
 Vol. XXXVI., p. 175), alluded to in the text, on the luxury of Anglo-Indians, 
 which has given more offence perhaps than any other, if it be appropriate that 
 one cold-weather tourist should rebuke another, I would remind Mr Blunt that it 
 is, to say the least, not always cool in India, and that things that may rank as 
 luxuries here become necessaries of healthy life there. Many of Mr Blunt's 
 most extraordinary statements seem to me simple cases of hasty generahzation, 
 which even my own limited observation serves entirely to correct. So far from 
 having found that "no Collector's wife will wear an article of Indian manufacture, 
 to save her soul from i^erdition" ('Ideas,' p. 29), I got from several kind 
 hostesses many valuable details about Indian clothes and ornaments, which I 
 found that they not only wore themselves but also sent home to their friends in 
 Europe. So far from Englishwomen looking on " the land of their exile as a 
 house of bondage," I liave generally found ladies at home preserving the kindest 
 recollections of their Indian life, not excluding the relations with their native 
 servants and dependents. For these, be it observed, are the only natives with 
 whom, as a rule, our countrywomen can have much to do, not so much owing to 
 prejudices on their side (though these often doubtless exist), but rather to the 
 barbarous and un-Aryan practice forced upon the Hindus (properly so called) by 
 the ancestors of Mr Blunt's Muhammadan friends. In fact, in those jiarts of 
 India w^hcre Muhammadan rule chiefly in'evailed, very few of even the best natives 
 have been at all educated up to the ideal of the society of ladies, and for this 
 reason, which seems to have escaped Mr Blunt's notice, free social intercourse is 
 nut of the question. As a contrast alike to the real average native of a region 
 such as Upper Bengal, and to Mr Blunt's supposed typical Anglo-Indian lady 
 {ihid. p. 47), it is a pleasure to me to be able to cite the testimony of an English
 
 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT. 37 
 
 But I hope that European residents in India will understand 
 that scholars at least, who start with no preconceived social or 
 political 'ideas' to be proved, can accept the ungrudgingly 
 rendered assistance of their fellow-subjects of every race, without 
 turning it to a root of bitterness and unmerited reproach. 
 
 The great kindness shovvai to me by native scholars has, I 
 trust, been made evident by what I have said in this Report. 
 It was indeed most encouraging to find what a bond of union is 
 formed by enthusiasm for a common study between races some- 
 times supposed to be almost by nature unblending or even 
 antagonistic. I had not, indeed, expected to find any hostility 
 to my work on the part of the pandits, but in the place of the 
 shy reserve, which even some European scholars accustomed to 
 work like mine had led me to expect, I was often quite surprised 
 at the cordiality and frankness with which both Hindus and 
 Jains came forward to help me. Nor did my native friends and 
 helpers proffer their assistance simply while I was present to ask 
 it, Kar 6(f)6a\fioSov\[av (W9 dvOpunrdpeaKoi ; on the contrary, I 
 have received since my return MSS., books and copies of 
 inscriptions from several places that I visited, and scarcely a 
 mail has arrived without bringing me letters from my Indian 
 friends. 
 
 To each and all of them, who may chance to read these 
 pages, I can only say, in recording my thanks, that I trust we 
 may meet again before very long, whether some of them may be 
 induced to visit Europe during 1886 from the double attraction 
 of specially Indian celebrations in London and Vienna, or 
 whether I may be permitted to utilise the knowledge and 
 experience I have been gaining by again visiting India. 
 
 With such a hope let me conclude. As I have stated in my 
 
 lady, the wife of a well-known scholar, who has travelled in many parts of Western 
 India amongst the manly Rajputs and the Mahrattas, that she has never met 
 with anything but courtesy from native gentlemen, and that in entertaining, as 
 she often does, the younger members especially of the various higher castes and 
 nationalities (for, pace some popular writers and talkers, there is no such thing 
 as 'the Indian people'), she considers their manners even superior to those of 
 the corresponding age and class in Europe.

 preliminary Report\ the results described in the foregoing pages 
 need only be regarded, so far as the University is concerned, as 
 a beginning: and for myself I feel that the time and energy 
 which- circumstances may leave at my disposal for scholarly work 
 cannot be better employed than in working out at home the 
 material for research thus obtained, in the hope of some day 
 supplementing it by fresh work in the same distant yet pleasant 
 fields. 
 
 1 See the Cambridge University Reporter for May 2G, 1885, p. 736. Whether 
 used much by myself or by other Sanskritists at Cambridge, I will hope that 
 students in other places will avail themselves of my collection. For (if I may be 
 allowed to repeat an observation made in the preface to my Catalogue of our 
 Buddhist MSS.) the tendency of recent so-called refonn has been practically to 
 discourage the prolonged residence in the University of those of its members 
 whose special literary pursuits cannot at once be utilised for the conduct of the 
 ordinary round of its studies ; and I fear that it will be some time before Prakrit 
 is studied at our universities in the same way as the Greek and Italian dialects, 
 and perhaps still longer before we may hope for what is already found in some 
 foreign universities, the systematic comjiarative study of religion and philosophy.

 LISTS OF MSS., WITH NOTES. 
 
 I NOW proceed to give an account of what formed the chief 
 object of ray journey, the search for MSS. 
 
 I therefore give (§ 1) lists of the MSS. collected by myself and 
 of those collected by Pandit Bhagvan Das and bought together 
 from him, as mentioned above (p. 84). 
 
 Of my own MSS., about 212 in number, I have made a 
 classified list. For the Pandit's collection of nearly 300 MSS., 
 I have contented myself with transliterating the very rough 
 list drawn up by or for him. I have corrected a few obvious 
 slips, but I have not had time to verify all names or add dates 
 of writing etc. from the MSS. themselves. 
 
 All these, with the exception of a few marked with an 
 asterisk, are now placed at the disposal of the University on 
 terms explained in a Report addressed to the Library 
 Syndicate. 
 
 Notes are given (§ 2) on some of the chief MSS. in my own 
 collection. I could have wished, as I have already intimated in 
 the preface, that these could have been fuller and more compre- 
 hensive. But I trust that the MSS. may be properly catalogued, 
 along with the valuable collection of Jain MSS. acquired by the 
 University some years ago. 
 
 I also give (§ 3) notes on MSS. in India, copies of which 
 might advantageously be negotiated for.

 §2. NOTES ON PARTICULAR MSS. ACQUIRED. 
 
 (1) From Nepal. 
 
 I regret that I have little of fresh interest in Buddhist 
 literature. There will be found however several fresh j\ISS. of 
 works already known, as well as several non-Buddliistic works 
 of some importance. 
 Candra- A partial exception may be noted in the case of the 
 
 SeveraT"^ ^'^^i^dva-vydkciranci or grammar of the Candra school of gram- 
 new frag- niarians, attributed to Candragomin, a Buddhist author. Of the 
 text and its commentaries our library already possesses several 
 portions, which are duly noted in the Catalogue. 
 
 I have now secured several new fragments of this work. 
 
 The first of these (List, xi, 4) has the great interest of 
 being written in a character unknown to me and, I may say, 
 unknown in India also, for I showed the MS. or a specimen of 
 the character to all the chief authorities in such matters, both 
 European and native, in Northern India. 
 
 In the Calcutta Museum however I observed a figure of 
 Buddha on a pedestal inscribed with characters somewhat more 
 difficult to decipher than those of my MS. (indeed I learned 
 from the Curator that the inscription never had been read), but 
 still bearing the same distinguishing feature: namely, a tri- 
 angular ornament at the top of each vertical stroke in the 
 letters. The form of letter with thick tops tapering down into

 Narada. I iiow give some extracts from a very full description 
 
 kindly supplied to me by Professor Jolly of Wiirzburg of a 
 fragment obtained by me in Nepal, which has turned out to be 
 a new recension of the Narada-smriti. My discovery of this 
 MS. has been most opportune, as he is at present printing a 
 critical edition of the text as a fitting sequel to his valuable 
 translation of this dharma-gdstra. 
 The first "The Nepalese MS. of the Narada-smriti is very valuable

 other MSS. of that work, that have come to light hitherto, and 
 on account of its age. It is dated, at the end, N. S. 527, 
 whereas none of the other MSS. is more than a hundred years 
 old. The first portion of the Nepalese Narada has apparently 
 been lost and supplanted by fragments of two different works in 
 the Nepalese language, the first of which extends from fol. 1 to 
 fol. 24a, and is Avritten in a very clear hand. It is described at

 fragment of the Narada-smriti, accompanied by a commentary in 
 Nevari, is written in yet another hand, and begins at fol. 28 a 
 with the words: vr'dtir eshd ddreslni guruputre tathaiva ca ||, 
 which correspond to the latter portion of paragr. 8, V. Head of 
 Dispute, in the Indian MSS., and in my English translation 
 of the Institutes of Narada. The following leaves, up to fol. 
 93, agree in the main with the Indian recension, as contained 
 in my translation and in the edition which I am printing, from 
 seven Indian MSS., in the Bihliotheca Indica." 
 
 [Prof Jolly here subjoins a most valuable list of various 
 readings, which I omit as being beyond the scope of the present 
 work, and also because I trust his edition will shortly appear.] 
 
 "It will be seen from the list of various readings that the Character 
 Nepalese MS. is a valuable check on the Indian MSS. of°J^p*^^g^_ 
 Narada. In many cases, the superior correctness of its readings mentioned 
 admits of direct proof through the numerous quotations from 
 the Narada-smriti, which are scattered through the Mitakshara, 
 Viramitrodaya, and other Commentaries and Digests of Law. 
 It is true that in a number of other cases the quotations speak 
 in favour of the readings preserved in the Indian recension of 
 Narada. The Nepalese MS. is also by no means free from 
 serious blunders. 
 
 "The last Vivadapada, called Praklrnaka, does not however An addi-

 chapter on Theft or Caurapratishedha, as it is called in the 
 colophon (iidradaproldaydm caurapratishedham ndina praka- 
 ranaiii samdptam). The opening 9lokas of this chapter agree 
 very closely with Manu ix. 256 — 260. The remainder has its 
 counterpart both in Manu ix. 252 — 293, and in the eighth 
 chapter of the Code of Manu, where the subject of Theft is 
 treated at considerable length {viii. 301 — 343). It may seem 
 strange that an additional chapter on Theft should thus be 
 introduced at the close of the whole work, after all the eighteen 
 Vivadapadas have been discussed in their order. Precisely the 
 same want of consistency is, however, observable in Manu's

 treatment of forensic law, a chapter on Theft and kindred 
 matters beincf tacked on, at the close of the section on forensic 
 law, in the Code of Manu as well as in the present text. This 
 fact goes far to prove the genuineness of the chapter on Theft 
 in the Nepalese MS. It is also important, because it gives fresh 
 support to the truth of the traditional statements, which connect 
 the composition of the Narada-smriti with the Code of Manu. 
 Indian tradition is wrong, it is true, in making the Narada- 
 smriti an early recension of the Code of Manu. The chapter on 
 Theft, as well as the entire previous portion of the book, is full 
 of detailed rules and provisions, which are decidedly less 
 archaic than the corresponding rules of Manu. It consists of no 
 less than 61 9lokas and one trishtubh. Moreover, it contains 
 a reference to a coin called dlndra, which corresponds to the 
 Latin denarius^. Some texts from this chapter are expressly 
 attributed to Narada in the Viramitrodaya. 
 The final " It is more difficult to account for the addition, at fol. 106 b of

 written in different hand from the remainder of tiie work, and 
 very indistinctly. The colophon, in accordance with some of the 
 previous colophons, describes the work of Narada as a recension 
 of the Code of Manu. This tends to confirm the Indian tradi- 
 tion, above referred to, regarding the connexion of Manu with 
 Narada. See, too, my Tagore Law Lectures, pp. 46 and 57. It 
 is curious that the Code of Manu is called a Nyaya(;astra in 
 the last colophon. The term nyaya in this compound is no

 the law-books, e.g. Narada xvii. 9. The same use of the term 
 recurs in the two 9lokas just quoted, in which the author of 
 the Nepalese Commentary declares that he has written it for 
 the enlightenment of kings and others, as the Narada-smriti 
 is difficult for the ignorant to understand."

 Though six commentaries on the Meghaduta are made known

 copies of the text with commentaries hitherto, as far as I know, "J^^ti^^g"^^ 
 unnoticed. Megha- 
 
 The MSS. give the text in somewhat different forms, as the 
 first has 122 distichs and the second 113, while the Oxford copy 
 above cited has 116. Two of the spurious verses noted by 
 Aufrecht (^T'f'S^TcSf aii^l ^T"^%*lt, here given as ^T'^TO^O 
 occur in the first MS. as vv. 71 and 118 respectively. The com- 
 mentary to this MS., called Vidvadbalanuranjinl, was written at 
 Benares by Sarasvatitlrtha, called in the commentary itself 'Yati' 
 and in the colophon 'Paramaharnsa Parivrajakacarya.' 
 
 In the second MS. the name of the commentator is not 
 given in the colophon. He thus refers to himself and his work

 29 remaining leaves (for the leaf numbered 30, placed with the

 prologue, from which we learn (f. 5 a) that the story tells of 
 Candrakctu son of Vijayaketu, king of Avanti, who left his king- 
 dom to the care of his minister Buddhisagara and travelled to 
 Campavatl. The first scene discovers him with his companion, 
 the Vidushaka; his adventures are described in the garden of 
 Kantimati daughter of Ratnapala, king of that city (f. 15 a — h).

 Alahkdra (Rhetoric and ars poetica). 
 
 Under this head we have a copy of the Vdghhatalaiikara Vagbhata 
 with an anonymous commentary not previously, I think, noticed. ^H^^^ 
 In it we find Vagbhata called by a Prakritized form of name, 
 Biihada or Brdiadadeva. The subscription of Chapter IV. runs : 
 
 and in the final subscription the author is styled TJT"^ ^TJVl^ ; 
 so that we may perhaps infer that he was the minister of the 
 king Jayasimha (cf. Aufrecht, Bodleian Catalogue, 214 a), under 
 whom the work was composed. The commentator identifies 
 this king with the son of Karnadeva cited by Aufrecht. 
 
 The MS., which is a good specimen of Jain calligraphy, was 
 written in V.S. 1524 (a.d. 14G7) during the pontificate of 
 Lakshmisagara of the Tapagaccha, who attained his suripada 
 in V.S. 1508 (see Klatt in Ind. Ant. xi. 256). 
 
 I have also obtained a copy of the Alankdratilaka (cf. Alaiikara 
 Biihler, Cat. MSS. Gujarat, iii. 44). A second title of the book 
 is Kdvydnugdsana. This is likewise the work of a Vagbhata, 
 who from the introduction is clearly a Jain and in the postscript 
 is described as famed for 'the composition of several new works' 
 
 (^^T%^ TI^TIT^^T'^^T). He may thus be fairly identi- 
 fied with the author of the Vagbhatiilahkara ; but being also 
 described as the son of Nemikumara, he must be separated* 
 from the medical Viigbhata, who was the son of Simhagupta 
 and named after his grandfather Vagbhata^.

 chapter which appears (for the MS. is unfortunately incomplete) 
 to be the last, we find an inquiry into the authority of the 
 dgamas which form to the Jain philosopher gabda or the ' Word.' 
 The text is written in a fine bold hand and is accompanied

 Samvat 1508 (a.d. 1461). See Dr Klatt in Ind. Antiq. xi. 25G

 The last relates to the ground-whisks and 'respirators' 
 (^^^■p^^T'^^T'^'^l^) to prevent the destruction of insect

 The work is in Sanskrit, with numerous citations from the 
 canonical, and other Prakrit, books. 
 
 Another work not previously noticed, I think, is the 
 Vicarasdraprakarana or Marganagataka, of 117 Prakrit 
 verses, with a very full Sanskrit commentary, terminating 
 with a pattavali of the Kharatara-gaccha, 
 
 I also collected, wherever I could, Pattdvalls (lists of Jain 
 pontiffs and teachers). The publication of several such lists by 
 Dr Klatt in the Indian Antiquary for 1882 has proved most 
 useful. I hope to publish those that I have collected, and trust 
 that we may in time thus get material for a regular table 
 of Jain chronology, which cannot fail to be of the greatest use 
 for general Indian history. 
 
 In the extensive literature of Jain folk-lore a new acquisition 
 is the Gunavarmacciritra, a work in Sanskrit verse by Manikya- 
 sundara Suri of the Aficala-gaccha, the author of the Prithvi- 
 candacarita, of which a MS. exists in the Berlin library. 
 For purposes of identification, especially as the work has 
 another title in the margin, Cy'atarab]iedaka[tha, ?], I may 
 mention that the opening of the tale relates how Gunavarma 
 son of Naravarma, king of Hastinapur, and Lilavati his queen 
 go to the svayamvara of Gunavali daughter of the king of 
 Campa (Bhagalpur). The moral of the tale is the duty of

 § 3. NOTES ON MSS. IN PRIVATE POSSESSION, 
 NOT ACQUIRED, OF WHICH COPIES COULD 
 BE MADE FOR THE LIBRARY. 
 
 Besides the MSS. in the great libraries of Kathmandu and 
 Jeypore, and those in the Government College Library at 
 Benares, of which some account has been given in Part I., I 
 noted a number of MSS. of which copies could be made for 
 the Library, or actually had been made. Indeed it was my 
 constant endeavour to induce owners of books to show me all 
 the good MSS. they possessed, whether they were willing to 
 part with them in every case or not. 
 
 In Nepal I was offered a copy of the Bhadrakalpdvaddna. 
 As I had not sufficient data to show whether this was not a 
 copy made by the owner previous to the sale of an original to 
 Dr D. Wright (Add. 1411, Catalogue, p. 88), I declined to 
 purchase it. But I am not sure whether the MS. might not be 
 worth purchasing, even with this risk, owing to its rarity and 
 interest. 
 
 At Benares I examined the following MSS., of which the 
 owner would willingly send copies, made at the rate of 2 to 3 
 rupees (3 to 5 shillings) per thousand ^lokas (of 32 syllables). 
 As a specimen of the style of writing to be expected from 
 Benares scribes, the wellwritten MS. of the Khandanoddhara- 
 tika in my collection (see under Dargana, p. 44), obtained from 
 the same Pandit, may be noted. Tlie MSS. in question arc 
 chiefly old copies of pliilosophical Avorks. Following the 
 example of Dr F. Hall in his Bibliographical Index, I mention 
 the date in every case where I observed it, as it may be of 
 value in fixing the age of the commentary-literature, much of 
 which is of course of recent, and indeed contemporary, origin.

 It ^Yill be seen from the above list that the present series 
 affords a more continuous representation of the progress of 
 writing on stone in Nepal than has hitherto been published, 
 which of course gives an interesting parallel to the palaeogra- 
 phy of the MSS. in our library already described by me. The 
 phraseology, technical terms etc. correspond closely Avith the 
 published series. See Indian Antiquary, ix. 1G8 sqq., and xiv, 
 342. 
 
 In some of the earlier inscriptions chronological points of 
 considerable importance will be found. 
 
 The transcripts now given are prepared from squeezes made 
 by myself on the spot, and in some cases also from photographs 
 made by me from the stone. I have also received some additional 
 squeezes of a few of the Nepal series from Pandit Indranand. 
 Much still remains undeciphered which probably a second visit 
 to the places might enable me to determine, and something

 present materials. But, as I have said ah'cady, the pressure of 
 other work and want of leisure by daylight renders it un- 
 desirable to delay publication.

 For further particulars see above p. 13 and add a reference 
 to the article on Nepalese chronology in the Indian Antiquary 
 for Dec. 1885 (p. 342), where Mr Fleet notes that this inscription 
 ' supplies the keynote ' to the interpretation of the early series. 
 As to the units' figure which at p. 13 I have given as 8 
 I am somewhat uncertain. The symbol, which seems to me 
 to be a numeral-figure and not an akshara or letter-numeral 
 like the others, resembles most nearly the 6 in our most archaic 
 Nepalese MS., Add. 1702 (see the table in my Catalogue), though 
 there also 8 is very similar.

 Hail ! From Managriha. The illustrious ^ivadeva, medita-

 the dayspring of his countless virtues, being in good health, to 
 the cultivators resident in the villages of Makhoshtam and 
 Satsaradranga (?) under the lead of their headmen, with due 
 enquiries after their health, addresses the following order: —

 Pandit Bhagvanlal in his learned article in the Bombay Gazetteer (s.v. Nasik)

 ...prowess has subdued the might of his innumerable foes, out 
 of regard for him and compassion for you, I grant you this boon, 
 namely that the officials of Kubervati^ are allowed entrance for 
 the levying only of not more than the three taxes, but not for 
 granting writings or for the five ofifences and the like'. There- 
 fore this boon must not be infringed by our dependants who 
 have cognisance of this, nor by any other parties whatsoever : 
 and whosoever, in contravention of this order, does so infringe 
 or cause infringement, him I wdll in no wise suffer; moreover 
 such kings as shall be after us, ought, as guardians of religion 
 and (thus) as followers of grants (made...), to preserve my order 
 in its entirety. In this matter the executive officer is Bhoga-

 From the palace of Kailasakuta [the sovereign'] who 
 meditates on the feet of Bappa addresses the following order 
 to the present and future [officials of certain places] : " Be it 
 known to you that... the royal family: now that I have 
 diligently had replaced the mass of decayed wood belonging to 
 the doors, panels, windows etc., which have been entirely 
 destroyed, since the crevices in the layers of bricks that have 
 fallen away have been entered by tribes of ichneumons who

 worried the mice [already there], to ensure its good condition 
 for the longer time to come, there has been thus attached as an 
 endowment a field to the south of the village of Matin, hereto- 
 fore included in the crown-estate, measuring 20 [measures and 
 producing] the revenue of 60 mas ; and to the south-west one 
 producing the revenue of 6 7nds is handed over to the 
 Paficalikas of the village of Matin. My authority herein must 
 not be infringed [etc., as in other inscriptions of Am9uvarman]. 
 Samvat 34, on the second day of the light half of the first 
 (intercalary) Pausha. My appointed agent h erein is Vindusvamin, 
 chief Minister of War." 
 
 The most important point in this inscription is the inter- 
 calation occurring in the date. My surmise that an inter- 
 calation was referred to in the expression prathama was first 
 confirmed by Mr Fleet, to whom I showed my reading, but 
 Professor Blihler of Vienna, to whom I am indebted for 
 much help in deciphering this and the following inscription, 
 called my attention to its great importance. Dr Blihler also 
 kindly submitted the date to the examination of Dr Schram, 
 Privatdocent fur chronologische Astronomie at the Vienna 
 University, from whom I have received through Dr Blihler 
 some very elaborate and valuable calculations. I think it 
 would be beyond the scope of the present publication to 
 reproduce these here, but my obligation is none the less. 
 Professor Adams has also most kindly worked out the calcu- 
 lations. From these two eminent authorities I have obtained 
 the following results : (1) that the Nepalese at the time of the 
 inscription used as the basis of their calendar not the Siirya- 
 siddhanta (in which Pausha is never intercalary, it would 
 seem), but a work that had the same elements as the Brahma- 
 siddhanta; (2) that the year 640 A.D. according to this rule is 
 inteicalary, which adds another confirmation, if any be needed, 
 to the theory that the era of this group of inscriptions is that 
 of gri-Harsha (A.D. 606).

 Vajrapdni are Buddhist divinities ; and as the vajra is very rarely Sivaic, while 
 Vaishnavism is very little known in Nepal, it seems fair to infer that we find 
 here early traces of the curious juxtaposition of Hindu and Buddhist cult that 
 the Tantric system brought into Nepal.

 * The exact force of mdtra is not easy to express. It cannot well have its

 additional definition or emphasis to adhihdra. 
 
 3 I could not discern any remains of the k on the stone but s (conjunct) and nd 
 were fairly distinct ; and, though not clear in the squeeze from which the autotype 
 has been prepared, in another squeeze made by me the n conjunct comes out 
 very well and the s and d very fairly. Observe that the d is written below in 
 the conjunct wr^ in Gupta writing, Ihe [akshara] form of 80 is also much clearer 
 in this squeeze. I am not sure whether the unit-figure is 2 or 3.

 "Samvat 151, on the second day of the light half of 
 Vai(;akha, Bhojamati wife of Atitalambha gave two mas [of

 What jaladrona may mean precisely I have no means of 
 telling; and the dictionaries give no help. I at first thought 
 from the position of the stone and from a possible connexion 
 with vdru ' run ' that it must mean water-cowrse, like prandli : 
 but the ordinary meaning of drona, ' tub ', rather suggests a 
 reservoir ; and to this view Dr Biihler, I find, is inclined. 
 The word drona occurs also in the next inscription, and there 
 the first meaning is perhaps more probable. The gradual 
 approximation to Kutila forms in the characters of this inscrip- 
 tion is noticeable, particularly in the lengthened and more 
 sweeping curves of medial ^7 and %.

 This inscription is reproduced only on account of its date 
 and style of writing. One might well suppose it to have been 
 scratched on the stone by a second-rate MS. copyist, for both 
 the incision and the attempt at Sanskrit are unusually feeble 
 for an inscription of such a date ; so much so that I have not 
 attempted a translation. It records the gift of a water-channel 
 (panndli of course for prandli) and a drona (see last inscription). 
 
 The great interest of the discovery is that we find here an 
 instance, unique as far as I know, of the use of the peculiar 
 local hooked hand of Nepal which has been abundantly 
 illustrated in the Palaeographical Society's Oriental Series as 
 well as in my Catalogue. 
 
 This and the preceding inscription thus form a link, in point 
 of character, between the periods illustrated by Nos. 1 — 15 and 
 that of Nos. IG, 17, etc. in Pandit Bhagvanlal's series.

 8G INSCRIPTIONS, NO. IX. [APPENDIX I. 
 
 Translation (see also abstract at p. 12). 
 
 Hail ! In the year of Nepal 512, on the Gth lunar day of the 
 (lark half of Vai9akha. 
 
 By order of Government. In the (^ravana asterism and 
 the Aindra conjunction, Sunday. 
 
 In the capital city Lalita-pattana, presided over by the 
 suake-king who is glorious with the rays of the gems of his 
 cluster of seven hoods, the sovereignty being enjoyed by 
 Jayasthiti the sovereign lord, who has gained favour from the 
 bounty of Mane^vari, whose royal lineage... [is renowned]... in 
 various panegyrics as of the Asuras and Narayana, who is 
 adorned by [? mighty] deeds. In the northern region of Manigala*, 
 there is the great tirth called Kumbhatlrtha, where lives this 
 venerable God Kumbhe(;vara''. On the south-east side are 
 Gane^a and Va9uki, on the south all the divine Mothers, the 
 tirth of the Fathers is to the north, in the north-west quarter 
 are Gauri and Pushkarini in the north-east likewise Vishnu, 
 and in the centre Kumbheyvara. With Agastya the sage born 
 in the kumbha (pitcher) at the head... penance is done: by 
 him Mahadeva is worshipped, and hence called Kumbhef;vara, 
 and with the water of the lake whoso makes ablution at the full 
 moon of ^ravana, even he can obtain heaven. 
 
 Cleansed by the lotus of his feet and void of spot, stain 
 or evil, from the mouthpiece of a conduit the water flows 
 perpetually. 
 
 With the water from this t'lrth if a man has strictly washed, 
 and regularly drunk the water well meted out and has 
 performed the rinsing of the mouth, or whoso daily and 
 constantly salutes Kumbhe^vara, he enjoys all pleasures and 
 goes at last to the city and town of (^^iva. At that place was 
 (Jiva destitute of a tcm^^le thereupon: (^iva Kumbhe^vara abode 
 
 1 I omit the iirevious sentence as being partly obliterated and partly 
 containing names and allu.sions, probably local, of which I have no knowledge. 
 
 ■•^ As to this form of ^'iva we may compare the Ashtamlvrata-vidhrma 
 translated by Wilson (Essays, cd. Host, ii. 32), from which it will be seeu that 
 tlie cult referred to here is of the Tantrie school.

 under the mere shelter of a dwelling-house. [For the contents 
 of lines 16 — 23 see p. 12]. 
 
 (Line 23.) He has also made a variegated cover [for the 
 treasury or treasure-case] approaching the mighty Lord, making 
 thereon an offering of a lac auspicious with sounds of [recitations 
 from ?] the Veda : there too he has erected a golden pinnacle and 
 banner. Through him, the doer of such a good work, may the 
 people sprung from the four castes^ attain great bliss and a 
 mansion in the highest at the last ! The man who makes a 
 dwelling for (^iva and also Vishnu or some other deity, to him 
 is allotted wood, stone and brick. Such men as set up [the 
 image of a god], to them accrues blessing, day by day becoming 
 riches : those men go to ^iva's city and delight in it for ever. 
 
 ^ Eead °odayd and understand of the Hindus proper as opposed to Buddhists 
 and aborigines.
 
 APPENDIX 11. 
 
 ROUGH LIST OF MSS. IN THE LIBRARY OF THE 
 JAIN MANDIR AT RAMGHAT, BENARES. 
 
 The following list is transcribed into Roman characters from 
 a copy kindly made for my use, as mentioned at p. 24 above. 
 I give it in the form I received it, only correcting a few obvious 
 mistakes and not attempting to reconstruct the names of the 
 less known works. It will be noted that the collection includes 
 several of the Brahmanical works, (such as the poems of Kalidasa) 
 often found in Jain libraries, as well as numerous tracts in the 
 vernaculars, as to which I have little knowledge.

 APP.III.] ADDENDA TO CATALOGUE, WITH NOTICES OF CRITICISMS. 98 
 
 As the above tables arc given by way of supplement to the 
 results tabulated in the Historical Introduction to my Catalogue, 
 I take this opportunity of offering a few remarks on some 
 points touched on in the criticisms^ that have appeared on that 
 work, and likewise of calling attention to several passages in 
 the work in general, to which my notice has been directed from 
 these and from other sources. 
 
 And first as regards the Historical or, as I perhaps might 
 have called it, the Chronological Introduction. Dr Oldenberg 
 thinks that my remarks (Catalogue, p. vi sqq.) on the relation 
 of the dates given in the MSS. to the native chronicles and to 
 the dates given by Kirkpatrick are somewhat infelicitous, in 
 that I had "evidently not at all, or only unconnectedly, made 
 such researches as might have given clear insight into the 
 origin and value of the earlier Nepalese tradition." 
 
 I am not at all sure that detailed criticism of the Vam^avali 
 would have formed a legitimate part of a library catalogue, the 
 object of which seems to me rather to provide material for 
 research than to originate theories. Be this as it may, the 
 necessity for the critical investigation of the period before 1000 
 A.D. was to a great extent rendered unnecessary by the promise, 
 to which I referred at p. xli, of a sequel to the article by Drs 
 Bhagvanlal and Biihler in the Indian Antiquary for August 
 1880. This has now appeared in the same journal for December 
 1884^ and deals with the relation of the Vam9avali to the 
 inscriptions down to the ixth century, the writers being pleased 
 to consider my treatment of the period covered by the later 
 group of inscriptions so " carefully worked out" as to render 
 further notice unnecessary. This being so, I am still somewhat 
 at a loss, — though I have, I hope, sufficiently pondered on Dr 
 Oldenberg's strictures, — to know what precisely are the available 
 
 1 See the Athenmimiox 15 Sept. 1883 ; Academy for 30 August 1884 (vol. 26, p. 
 140) (Prof. T. W. Rhys Davids) ; Deutsche Litteraturzeitung, 22 Dec. 1883 (Dr H.

 subject, in the number for December 1885, as noted at p. 72 above.

 materials for the critical ' Untersuchungen that he would have 
 me institute. 
 
 As for documentary material, I have made some use for 
 the present publication of a manuscript of the Varn(,'avali, as 
 already stated (page 16, note); but I find that its differences 
 from the text translated by Dr Wright consist almost entirely 
 in the omission of a few of the legendary and anecdotal passages 
 of that work. Some differences, indeed, of assigned lengths of 
 reisrn there are, and these have been registered in the columns 
 of the Table of Kings (under " Gorkha histories"); but the 
 tradition is clearly the same. As to its value I agree with 
 Pandit Bhagvaulal that " Dr Wright's data are on the whole 
 trustworth}^," and I think that the new matter I have now 
 brought to light tends to give remarkable confirmation of these 
 native records which are not to be so lightly set aside as some 
 critics would have us believe. This applies also to a date (a.d. 
 1141) noted by me at Paris, in the Hodgson collection of the 
 Bibliotheque Nationale, while passing the present work through 
 the press. Though of little importance in itself, it is satisfactory 
 to observe how well this date accords with the periods assigned 
 by me from the Varn^avali for the adjacent reigns. See 
 Table I. 
 
 Some difficulties, such as the date a.d. 1G62, remarked on 
 in the note to Table II., do no doubt occur even in comparatively 
 recent times ; yet on the other hand, as has been before pointed 
 out, we find the tradition preserved, somewhat confusedly it is 
 true, but still unmistakeably, of an interesting event like the 
 establishment of the (^riharsha era'. 
 
 In the present work I have occasionally (as at pp. 8 — 9) 
 ventured on a historical conjecture or tentative correction of the 
 Vam^avali, which may be taken for what it is worth till further 
 historical material comes to hand. 
 
 What the particular origin (Herkunft) of the Nepalese 
 Varn^avali may be, I have no means of knowing, and should be 
 glad to learn anything to supplement the statements of Dr 
 Wright and Pandit Bhagvanliil on the subject.

 Dr Windisch, in the course of a courteous and detailed 
 notice, thinks my description of the Mahavastu too lengthy, 
 because I " knew that it would be edited by M. Senart." I was 
 indeed aware that he had begun it, but as to when it may be 
 finished I have no information. 
 
 I am indebted to the same reviewer for corrections of my 
 reading of the colophon of Add. 1G43 (pp. 151 — 2). 
 
 As to the last two corrections, the former, sandttandmm (for 
 p. 152, 1. 5), I am afraid I do not fully understand. The latter, 
 samvatsare for samvatso, is merely typographical and had 
 appeared in the corrigenda of the catalogue, opposite page 1. 
 
 On page 178, 1. 2, I must decline to accept Dr Windisch's 
 prand^a for ijrandla. The verses in question deal with the 
 supply of water, and in a well-irrigated country like Nepal 
 the prandli or prandla (conduit) plays an important part. 
 The word occurs in various forms both in Dr Bhagvanlal's 
 inscriptions and in those now published. 
 
 My friend Pandit Durgaprasada of Jeypore, who manifested 
 an interest that quite surprised me in a literature new to him, 
 Avas good enough to read through a considerable part of my 
 catalogue and favoured me with several emendations, which I 
 have found on comparing them with the originals at Cambridge 
 to be quite correct. 
 
 I have to thank all my critics for the appreciative way in 
 which they have treated my palceographic essay ; and it is 
 some satisfaction to note that Professor Biihler, in his Appendix 
 to Professor Max Miiller's and Bunyiu Nanjio's "Ancient Palm- 
 leaves from Japan" has followed precisely the same lines with 
 frequent references to our earliest MSS. 
 
 On merely palseographic grounds I confess I was not at all 
 surprised to find doubts expressed, like those of Professor Beal 
 in the Athenoium, July 4th, 1885, as to the very early date 
 assigned to those palm-leaves. The fact is that, as was pointed 
 out in the review of Professor Max Miiller's publication in the 
 same journal for October 4th, 1884, the balance of archaism in 
 forms of letters is, even on Professor Biihler's showing, rather in 
 favour of the Cambridge MS., e.g. in the form of ^.
