‡ According to the Fort-William Catalogue, the ‘Maitráyaṇí-Śákhá’ is in existence there. [Other MSS. have since been found; see Haug in *I. St.*, ix. 175, and his essay *Brahma und die Brahmanen*, pp. 31–34 (1871), and Bühler's detailed survey of the works composing this Śákhá in *I. St.*, xiii. 103, 117–128. According to this, the Maitr. Saṃhitá consists at present of five *káṇḍas*, two of which, however, are but later additions, viz., the Upanishad (see below), which passes as *káṇḍa* ii., and the last *káṇḍa*, called Khila.]
