Extract

The task of publishing the Khotanese Saka texts of the India Office and the British Museum, on which I am engaged, is likely to be long protracted. It therefore seems advisable to make known as soon as possible a list of the words for which parallel texts guarantee the meanings in Tibetan, Chinese, or Sanskrit. Most of the following words are from the Siddhasāra-śāstra of Ravigupta, of which there are extant sixty-five folios. The Tibetan is to be found in the Tanjur. Two short passages of the Sanskrit are preserved in a compilation in a Madras MS., of which a copy (made in 1902) is in the Bibliothèque Nationale. Through the courtesy of the Librarian I have been ableto make use of this.

page 117 note 1 Since the above was sent to the press, I have been able to use in Oxford photographs of two Nepalese MSS. of the Sanskrit text of the Siddhasāra. It has been possible to use this rich new material to a small extent during the reading of the proofs.
