p.17.l.22—Bheḍa Saṃhitā is edited by Sir Aṣutosh Mukerjee, Calcutta, 1921 ( Calcutta University ). " Some light has been thrown by the discoveries of manuscripts in Eastern Turkestan on the Bheḍa Saṃhitā ( cf. H. Lüders, Festgabe Garbe, pp. 148 ff. ). A paper manuscript with a fragment of the text, which can be assigned to the ninth century A. D. suggests strongly that the text published from a single Telugu manuscript presents a version of the Saṃhitā which has suffered alteration, a chapter on Raktapitta in the Nidānasthāna having been replaced by one on Kāsa " ( Keith, HSL, Preface xxiii).
