This is a transcription from the 1941 edition by Nalinaksha Dutt. It is based on the two Nepalese manuscripts and the one from Gilgit. Manuscript A = Sastri, manuscript B = Hodgson (identical with the one edited by Dās and Vidyābhūshan in 1986, but copied from the manuscript and not from the unreliable edition), manuscript C = Gilgit.
IAST transliteration.
