52. The reply from Kotah was received on 26th December, and I was asked to visit the place some day after 18th January. There were three collections mentioned in the reply. One of them was owned by a private individual and was in the uttermost confusion, and it was not possible to examine it. One belonged to the State and was in very good order. The third was deposited in three different places in two temples. By far the biggest portion was placed in a part where there were country oil-lamps constantly burning, and the bundles were so thickly covered with soot that, after handling the first two or three, my hands were completely blackened. There were two other collections here, that I had come to know of at Jaipur. I could not see either. But I had a list supplied me of one and promised me of the other. The promised list has not yet come. Many of the manuscripts I saw here are very old, and there are many relating to Vallabha's Puṣṭimārga, The following are worth being mentioned: —
Purushasūkta with a Bhāṣya attributed in the list to Rāvaṇa. There was, however, no name given in the manuscript.
