¹⁵³ This part was published 1856–59; Deva's Paddhati to books i.–v. is there given in full, also his commentary on book i.; the extracts from the scholia to books ii.–xi. are likewise taken from Deva's commentary: those to books ii.–v. there exhibit, as to style, some differences from the original wording, resulting from abbreviations; the extracts for books xii.–xxvi. come from the scholium of Karka and from an anonymous epitome (*saṃkshiptasára*) of Deva, the MS. of which dates from *saṃvat* 1609. None of these commentaries is complete.
