T, whereas the MS. B represents an independent version of the work, as
will be shown in a special paper to be published in the Transactions of the
Imperial Academy of Vienna. B is the most correct of all the four MSS.,
although the letters of the commentary are very small and not so well written
as those of the MS. T, besides that it is tolerably free from clerical blunders ;
these,1 2 that occur very frequently in the other MSS., as well as varieties of
the verbal roots in the-commentary have been passed over in the Notes.
To ascertain the forms of the latter I had at my disposal the following
MSS.
II, MSS. of the Dhdtupatha.
1. MS. Orient, fol. 1129 of the Royal Library of Berlin, see Weber, op.
cit. Nro. 1644, containing on fols. 8, a-—13, b the text of the Dhatupatha.
2. MS. Orient, fol. 770 of the Royal Library of Berlin, see Weber,
op. cit. Nro. 1681, containing the Dhatupatha with Hemachandra’s own
commentary, the Dhatuparayana.
It may be useful to point out that Hemachandra’a classification of the
roots and his Anubandhas somewhat differ from those used by the Pauinean
School. Hemachandra divides the roots into nine classes, the second and
third of Panini’s system being lumped together. Roots of the first class
receive no Anubandha or indicatory letter. To the eight others the follow"
ing letters are appended :—37 to the second, e. g. zrar | ^"37; =qr to the third,
e. g. 37TT; t° ^ie f°urth, e. g. ’ETrqrg; T to the fifth, e. g. T to the
sixth, e. g. ^7; fhe seventh, e. g. trnfr; 5T to ^ie eighth, e. g. 3T5T ; w
to the ninth, e. g. Among the other Anubandhas added to roots
for various purposes the following differ from those used by Panini, see

tenth class it has another meaning, see Westergaard, Rad. p. 377, § 35.
