Often, different works bear a common name, (e.g. Pañcabodha), and all their manuscripts are bunched together in catalogues. In such cases, an attempt has been made to examine the manuscripts and identify them for this Bibliography and give against each distinct work the manuscripts relevent to it. Authors or works having a common name have been distinguished by the addition of I, II etc., to their names. So also the different commentaries on the same work. When a work does not give its title and therefore a title had to be assigned to it on the basis of its contents, the fact is generally indicated by the addition of ‘(?)’ after the title. The symbol ‘(?)’ is used also when a doubt is entertained about any matter. When the Kerala origin of a work is suspect that is indicated by adding ‘(Ker. ?)’ to it.
