² While quoting these verses in their Notes, the editors of *Yuktibhāṣā* give the source as *Tantrasaṅgraha*, but without any further reference (see *op. cit.*, p. 190), and other scholars have followed this lead (see, e g., C. T. Rajagopal, *ib.*, p. 2). But these verses, as also several others similarly quoted by the editors of the *Yuktibhāṣā*, do not occur in the *Tantrasaṅgraha* (vide edn. of the work, Trivandrum, 1958). T. A. Saraswathi says that "the *Tantrasaṅgraha* published from the Trivandrum University (sic) seems to contain one part only of the text. The editors of the *Yuktibhāṣā* had access to the complete MS. in the Trippunithura Skt. College Library, I am informed." (Fn. 9 on p. 231 of the *Bul.* of the National Inst. of Sc., No. 21 (1962). This information is not likely to be correct. The Trivandrum edition of *Tantrasaṅgraha* is, in fact, complete in itself. The second part of the Trippunithura MS. is likely to be another astronomical work written in continuation of *Tantrasaṅgraha*.
