P.S. We have only two manuscripts of the Sāmaveda in the CUL
collections: a Devanāgarī paper ms acquired By C. Bendall from Bhagvan
Dās Kevaldas at Bombay in 1885, and a palm-leaf Devanāgarī ms of which I
do not remember the provenance at the moment (I will check again). They
still have to be catalogued, though.
