² The 'Childhood of Rāma' has been published as the frontispiece to Mr. G. A. Grierson's profoundly learned work, 'The Modern Vernacular Literature of Hindostan' (Extra No., *J. A. S. B.*, Part I, 1888–9), and in Mr. Growse's translation of the *Rāmcharit-mānas*. Seventy of the pictures have been crudely reproduced in an illustrated edition of the poem, edited by the Nāgarī Pracharinī Sabhā, and published by the Indian Press, Allahabad, 1903. The MS. is slightly described in Mr. E. Greaves's work, *Kashi the City Illustrious, or Benares* (Indian Press, Allahabad, 1904, p. 94). The Mahārāja possesses another MS. of the poem written in Samvat 1704 = A. D. 1647–8, only twenty-four years after the author's death.
