Description

About the book:-The Pahlavi phrase Dina-I Mainog-I Khirad, ‘Opinions of the spirit of wisdom,’ is a name applied to sixty-two enquiries or series of enquiries on subjects connected with the religion of the mazda- Worshippers. It is the most complete manuscripts of the pazand-Sanskrit version are JJ and JE, of which JJ is the oldest and best but it has not yet been thoroughly examined. It is a small quarto volume of 182 Folios of Indian Paper, written fifteen to seventeen lines to the page and belongs to Dastur Khurshedji Jamshedji of Nausari. From certain blunders and peculiarities, which its writer has copied, it is certain that this manuscript has descended from AK and also that it has derived a few variations from some other sources. Its Sanskrit text is not written inverted as it is in AK and it commences with Neryosang’s usual Sanskrit introduction.
