In the Dulva there are notices of several princes, citizens, and illustrious persons. 6. Grung.—A fable, fabulous history, contains the history of Kesar, a fabulous king. 7. Stan-çis.—Chronology or astronomical calculation of some events occurring in the sacred volumes. The Grammatical Works. The Sanskrit grammatical works were known to ancient Tibetans, and were partially translated into their tongue. The names of such works have been given in the last volume of Stangyur. The principal ones are Pánini-vyákarana in two thousand slokas. Maha-bhána, a commentary on the previous work, in one hundred thousand slokas. A commentary on chandrapá, by Pandita Ratna Mali, in twelve thousand slokas, and many others are named besides. There are likewise in Tibet several works teaching how to read the Sanskrit texts, the Mantras, &c. The most ancient grammatical work extant in the Tibetan tongue is that by Sambhota of the seventh century. Names of many authors are given; but there are yet other grammatical works of which no special mention is made in the essay under review. XIII.
