Bibliography
References First noticed and edited in Bandyopadhyaya 1909: 459-461. Re-edited in Basak 1923-24. Discussed in Basak 1925.
Add to bibliography B. Upadhyaya, SAII, pt. 11, pp. 54-55. Also, Bandyopadhyaya may have first edited the plates as R. D. Banerji in the Baṅgīya Sāhitya Pariṣat-Patrikā, Vol. XVI, pp. 112ff (year not known – possibly 1909 or earlier; referenced in Goyal 1993: 151). Basak's re-edition, or an earlier stage of it, also seems to have been published in the Beṅgālī periodical Sāhitya, Pausha 1323 Bangla San., pp. 827ff (see Goyal 1993: pp. 829ff).
