Art. II.—Two Legends from the Brhaddevatā in an old MS. of Sadguruçisya

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The following two passages of the Brhaddevatā occur in afourteenth century Poona MS. of Sadguruçisya, which I collated for my edition of the Sarvānukramanī and its commentary. The MS. is described in pages xii. and xiii. cf the introduction to that edition. It is there termed P I, but below referred to simply as P. These two extracts were not printed in my edition, because they occurred in none of the other MSS. of Sadguruçisya, and were at the same time too long to incorporate in the notes. I now edit these old Vedic myths both as containing matter of some interest and as likely to be of use to a future editor of the Brhadde-vatā.
