too complicate and there may be students who may not be interested
in the KE£mir variants at all, for the additional stanzas and lines do not
after all add anything to our knowledge of any of the branches of the
subject dealt with in the Gia and a reference to the critical notes in
entries Nos, 2, 8, 9, 21, 23, 42, 69, 152, 156, 169, 210, 267, 367, 373,
386, 387 etc. in PtI B will show that several of the variant eadings
are of doubtful value,
In order to arrive at the most probable text as per that recension I have collated the four editions thereof above-mentioned, namely those of (1) Otto Schrader (1930 (2) S. N. Tadpatrikar (1934); (3) Java ram Sastri (1937) and (4) T. R. Chintamani (1941) and have in Appendix II to Part I named Critical Apparatus of Section B, given a comparative table of the variations occurring in all of them and made mention in the foot-notes thereunder of the alternative or peculiar readings found in 8ome of them only, indicating their 8ources by the initial letters of the names of the editors or commentators in whose editions or com. mentaries they are found . While ascertaining the variants common to all the said editions I have not restricted myself to the reading adopted therein but have also made use of those given by the editors in their foot-notes. The names of the commentators of the Vulgate who were found to have adopted any of these variants, from some other sources of course, have also been mentioned in the Remarks- column of that Appendix
The words underlined in Col. + of that Appendix are the only one brought over to the Index in Section B for being arranged in an alpha betical order and treated exactly like those in Section A. Accordingly all the words occurring in the additional stanzas and half-stanzas and only such of those in the common ones as replace the corresponding portions in the vulgate find place therein. The footnotes under each Adhy{ya therein bear a separate series of consecutive numbers. The introductory prose-remarks occurring in this recension have, as in the case of the Vulgate, been ignored while preparing the index in Section B,
III. Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary Word-Units.
Part II of this Index contains alphabetical list of what I have called Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary word-Units and a Comparश tive Table of the word-units common to all or any two of the said three kinds of word-units
The secondary word-Units are those which were obtained on dissolving the compound ones from amongst the Primary Word-Unit indexed in Part I and on separating the component part thereof. The method of dissolution adopted in the case of each such unit 4 set forth .
