5. As to old commentaries, we have the two works, compiled by Gayadāsa and Dallana (§ 2). Of the former, I have been able to consult the unique MS. preserved in the Cambridge University Library, Add. 2491, fols. 48 b, 49 a; of the latter, the Deccan College MS., No. 949, of 1884–7, fols. 53 b, 54, 55 a (see above, No. 4). Of the latter, there is also the edition published by Jīvānanda, Calcutta, 1891. Both commentaries are based on the Traditional Recension, and contain not the remotest indication of being acquainted with the recension printed by Gaṅgādhar. A number of other old commentaries are known by name, for which Dr. Cordier's *Récentes Découvertes*, pp. 13, 14, may be consulted. But no copies of any of them—so far, at least, as the Anatomical Section (*Śārīra Sthāna*) is concerned—have as yet come to light.
