(D) This belongs to the Library of the India Office (*Mackenzie Collection*, no. III, 187). It is written in Telegu character on palm leaf, 13″ by 2″. It contains 162 folios, each page of which has 9 to 11 lines. Exactly like 'B,' it begins with Chapter XV and after the colophon of the last chapter of the book takes up the first fourteen chapters. The name of the copyist is not known. The date is given as Śaka 1656 (A.D. 1734). The characters are very small and indistinct. After careful collation with 'B,' it seems that both 'B' and 'D' are copies of the same original. 'B' may have been already copied from 'D' when the latter was removed to the India Office.
