Notes
Digitization carried out from a substitution document: R 144711. Persian translation of the Bhāgavata Gītā, which constitutes the 6th parva of the Mahābhārata. Lacking a preface, this version bears no mention of the name of the translator. This could be the version of Muhammad Dārā Šukūh Qādirī [comp. Suppl. Persian 14, etc.] [or perhaps that of Abū l-Fayz Fayzī, finished by Ibrāhīm Sirhindī?]. Unfinished copy, stopping before the end of the 18th and last adhyā (which begins at f. 28). Bibl. : C. Rieu, Catalog of the Persian Manuscripts of the British Museum, I, London, 1879, p. 59 [with attribution to Abū l-Fazl].; D.N. Marshall, Mughals in India (…), I, London, 1967, no. 402 (IX), p. 128; A. Munzavī, Fihrist-i muštarak (…) Pākistān, IV, Islamabad, 1984, n° 3878-9, p. 2139; edited text. Anonymous and undated copy, probably made [in India] for Gentil. Ms. brought from India in 1776 by J.-B. Gentil and deposited by him in 1778 in the Cabinet of Manuscripts of the B.R.; we read in his hand, on the 1st guard, the title: “war of the gurus and panduans” and the mention of the price, “4 r.[oupies]”.
