Helārāja

A paper manuscript in Telugu script in the Chandra Shum Shere collection at the Bodleian Libraries. It was bought, as part of a private collection of 6330 manuscripts in Benares, by the Maharaja Sir Chandra Shum Shere and presented to the University of Oxford in 1909. The text extends from the beginning of the Jātisamuddeśa to the end of the Kriyāsamuddeśa, although folios 109, 110 and 111 are missing. The manuscript has never been used for an edition and it was not known to Wilhelm Rau, but it is described in Dominik Wujastyk's Handlist of the Vyākaraṇa manuscripts in the Chandra Shum Shere Collection preserved in the Bodleian Library . The manuscript was bound into book form in the library, and the folios were numbered by Thomas Gambier-Parry in pencil (Wujastyk 1978, 2). — Benares. MS. Chandra Shum Shere d. 247
