PADA INDEX



PREAMBLE
This work is said to be included in a larger work the Uttara-Pauṇḍra-khaṇḍa, was first published in 1298 B.S. (1891 A.D.) with a Bengali translation, by Pandit Rajachandra Nyayapanchanan. It consists of two parts: verses 1 to 60, Paundra-khsetra-māhātmyam and verses 61 to 85, Karatoyā-māhātmyam. The text is printed here from that edition.
Verse 41 of this work is quoted in Sarvānanda's Tikā sarvasva (1159 A.D.) in the tikā of sloka 32 in vārivarga; verses 41 and 64, in the Smritichandrikā of Devanabhaṭṭa who is quoted by Hemādri (12th century); verse 41, in the Vyākhyāsudhā of Bhanuji Dikshit son of Bhattoji Dikshit; verse 63, in Smritiratnakar of Vedāchārya who quotes Bhavadeva and Jimutavahana and is quoted by Raghunandanda.

NOTE:
For the above information I am indebted to Mr. Subodh Chandra Banerjee M. A. of the Dacca University Manuscript Library which is in possession of manuscripts of the Karatoya-mahatmyam and the other works referred to. No copy of the Uttara-pauṇḍra-khaṇḍa has come to light yet.

Verse 63 is quoted in the Tithi-viveka of Sulapāni (first quarter of the 15th century); verses 30 and 37 in the Kṛitya-chintāmani of Vāchaspati Miśra of Mithila (second half of the 15th century) and verses 33 and 63 in the Amāvāsyā-prakaraṇa of the Tithitattva of Raghunandanda (first half of the 16th century).
