The Sacred Books of the East #248387

The Sanskrit mss. Of Nepal are always negligently transcribed and abound with corrupt passages, which it is often very difficult to detect and restore. My printed text leaves many obscure lines which will have to be cleared up hereafter by more skilful emendations. I have given in the notes to the translation some further emendations of my own, and I have also added several happy conjectures which continental scholars have kindly suggested tf me by letter; and I gladly take this opportunity of adding in a foot-note some which I received too late to insert in their proper places 1.
