(K) These two manuscripts belong to the Palace Library of Trivandrum. They are referred to in Aufrecht part I, page 452, and described in Oppert II, 532, 6125, 6976. Of these, 532 and 6976 are not available and seem to have been lost. Of the two Trivandrum manuscripts, one is 6125 and the other is a new one, in the sense that it is not mentioned in any catalogue. Aufrecht thinks (page 452) that one of these three described by Oppert was "quoted by Ram Raz." But there seems no reason for Aufrecht's supposition. From the description it seems on the contrary that Ram Raz referred to the one called here 'J.'
