Vāyu Purāṇa
c3.s6.1
*A*Vā. The Ānandāśrama (Poona) edition, 1905. It is based on five copies, the Calcutta edition (marked क; see *C*Vā below), and 4 MSS marked ख, ग, घ, and ङ and cited here as *a*1, *a*2, *a*3, and *a*4 respectively.
c3.s6.2
*C*Vā. The Bibliotheca Indica edition, Calcutta. It is based on 6 MSS, but only rarely notes variant readings.
c3.s6.3
*a*Vā. See *A*Vā.
c3.s6.4
*MSS in the Bodleian Library.*
c3.s6.5
*b*Vā. Wilson 120; Auf. Cat. no. 104. Date, early 19th cent. Fairly well written, but with a good many mistakes and not a few repetitions. Account begins, fol. 237a, l. 4.
c3.s6.6
*c*Vā. Wilson 355; Auf. Cat. no. 103. Date 15th cent. Unfortunately contains nothing about these dynasties.
c3.s6.7
*MSS in the India Office Library.*
c3.s6.8
*d*Vā. Jones MS; W 6a, T 37. Date, end of 18th cent. Valuable, because aptly copied from one MS and corrected by another; yet not accurate. Account begins, vol. ii, fol. 386a, l. 9.
c3.s6.9
* e*Vā*. Jones MS; W 6*b*, T 38. Not dated. Writing fairly good, but diction rather illiterate. Very valuable, because it has readings different from the printed editions, and some verses not contained therein; and where it differs therefrom, it often agrees with the Mt (see Introdn. § 22). Unfortunately it has a lacuna at the beginning. Account begins, fol. 198*a*, l. 11.
c3.s6.10
* f*Vā*. No. 1869, E 3587. Date, about 1600. Fairly well written, but many small errors. It has a large lacuna at the beginning, and commences in fol. 358*b*, l. 5 with l. 23 of the Aikṣvākus.
c3.s6.11
* g*Vā*. No. 2103, E 3589. Dated 1483. Fairly well written. Account begins, fol. 311*b*, l. 10.
c3.s6.12
* h*Vā*. No. 1310, E 3590. Modern. Full of mistakes, especially at the beginning; agrees closely with *b*Vā even in the errors.
c3.s6.13
* j*Vā*. No. 264, E 3591. Date, about 1800. Badly written, full of mistakes and gaps; has a lacuna at the beginning and commences only with l. 23 of the Aikṣvākus in fol. 347*a*, l. 7.
c3.s6.14
*MSS in the Dekhan College, Poona* (collated for me by a pandit through the kindness of the Professor of Sanskrit at the College).
c3.s6.15
* *b*Vā*. Skt MS no. 8 of 1874-5. Has lost all the account after l. 17 on p. 48.
* *l*Vā*. Skt MS no. 110 of 1881-2.
c3.s6.16
*MSS in the Royal Asiatic Society.*
