according to Rajendralāla Mitra's *Nepalese Buddhist Litera-
ture*, p. 177, the *Śatasāhasrikā* comprises 72 chapters, divided
into 4 Khaṇḍas. Seeing that our extant Pōthi is about one-
third of the whole, it should contain the first and a portion of
the second Khaṇḍa. And this conclusion is supported by
the figures above quoted (28, 77, 18, 65). For the fact that
we have on fol. 310 the figure 28, and on fol. 395 the figure
77, while on fol. 6** (or 7**) there occurs the figure 18, and
on fol. 895 the figure 65, suggests that the figures 28 and 77
belong to subsections of the first Khaṇḍa, while the figures 18
and 65 belong to subsections of the second Khaṇḍa. This
reasoning, of course, is based on the assumption that these
figures do refer to subsections, not to verses in them; and
this assumption is far more probable, for the numbers are too
small to be referable to Ślokas. No. 9, Hoernle Reg.
1′ 6″ × 2″. Pl. CXLII.

**Ch. 0079. b.** Pōthi, one palm-leaf fol. of Buddhist text,
complete, slightly damaged along top margin, with No. 292
on obv. and 7 ll. on page, written in Skr. and Upright Gupta.
Published by Prof. de la Vallée Poussin in *J.R.A.S.*,
1911, p. 1077. No. 10, Hoernle Reg. 16⅔″ × 1⅔″.
Pl. CXLII.

**Ch. 0092.** Roll. Complete; thin, tough, yellowish
paper; inscr. on obv. with 79 ll., alternately in early Nāgarī
and Sogdian script; last l. in faint red ink. The inscr.
portion takes up 3′ 9″ of roll; remainder blank. Rev. blank.
Contents: Skr. text of the *Nīlakantha-dhāraṇī*, with
interlinear Sogdian transcript. For detailed description see
Article six, by MM. de la Vallée Poussin and Gauthiot,
*J.R.A.S.*, 1912, p. 629 ff. The last l., in red, contains the
abrupt commencement of the *Prajñā-pāramitā*.
Date about 700 A.D., as shown by Prof. S. Lévi in *J.R.A.S.*,
1912, p. 1066. Confirmed by the fact that throughout the
*modern* form of *ya* (𝐲) is used, which shows that the script
falls after 600 A.D. and is post-Gupta or early Nāgarī.
