76 SAMAGRA TILAK - 2 • A MISSING SANKHYA KARIKA
The S4nkhya-tattva-kaumud£, a commentary on the Karikas
by V~chaspati-mishra as printed in the Niqtaya Sagar Press.
Bombay, also contains the same seventy-two verses.
We thus see that there are in all 72 verses in all the copies
of the Sankhya Karikas now available. The last three of these
give us only the line of succession of teacher and pupil or guru-
parampara as it is called. Thus the doctrinal part of the book at
present contains 69 verses only, whereas verse 72 expressly tells'
us that there are 70 verses in the work. No satisfactory solution
of this difficulty has to my knowledge yet been published.

Let us therefore see, if we can find a clue to this missing verse.
The sixty-first Karika and Gau~ap~da's Bhd~hya upon it in
Wilson's edition run as follows :-

Here the 6lst verse clearly states that there is nothing more
' delicate ' or 'subtle' (~IHt'() than Prakriti, evidently mean-
ing that according to the Sankhya Philosophy Prakriti is
the final cause of the visible world and that there is no other
finer, or subtler or ulterior cause. The comparative degree
