The Greeks in Bactria and India c16.14

c16.14

This was the position till quite recently, when Jayaswal discovered two other MSS of the Yuga-purāna, one in the possession of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, the other in the Government Sanscrit College of Benares; these he has edited with a translation,² of which I reproduce the material part. A third MS also exists in Paris, and Lévi sent Jayaswal a list, which he published,³ of the readings in which it differs from his edition; I gather that the variants, which in the Yavana sections are few, have as regards those sections no historical importance and that, speaking generally, the Paris MS confirms his results, but naturally I cannot be sure.
