V 1 The copy of the first three chapters of a MS of the VP of which G.<br />
Tucci ·had a copy made from a more ancient one (apparently not V 3)<br />
during a scientific expedition in Nepal. I have desclibed this MS in a<br />
brief note (Sferra 1995: 360).<br />
V2 The palm-leaf MS of theVP preserved in the Library of the Asiatic<br />
Society of Calcutta and listed as No. 10766/ R.B.4 / D 136. This is<br />
the only MS of the VP that is complete. It consists of 222 folios<br />
numbered on the left side of the verso from 1 to 221, with seven lines<br />
per page. It is in Archaic Bengali script. The P AJS is also included in<br />
it (fols. 186b2-206b6). Sometimes the margins of the pages are<br />
damaged. In general, the MS is correct: there are a few emendations<br />
in the margins and a few glosses apparently made by another hand.<br />
For more information on this MS, see Rara Prasad Shastri 1917:<br />
