much repaired. The commentary begins abruptly after
the Bismilláh without preface or introduction as follows:

This qasida will be found at p. 200 et seq. of Nawal
Kishor's lithographed edition of A. H. 1293. The Com-
mentary is a very meagre one, and deals only with a
few selected verses. The second qaşida commentated
begins on f. 56 (ed. Nawal Kishor, p. 204). To each
verse explained is prefixed the word in red letters,
but otherwise the text is continuous, and for the most
part there is nothing to mark the transition from one
qasida to another.

Ends with the explanation of the following verses (ed.
Nawal Kishor, p. 482, 11. 5 and 6):
