The thesis is an edition with a critical apparatus of a Rajasthani MS. Nala-ki bata by Bhangcanda Bhavasa, Royal Asiatic Society, Todd Collection No. 81. The work appears to have been written in the early part of the 19th century, as a date in Samvat corresponding to A.D. 1806 is found written at the end of another story (Dhola Maruji-ki bata) appended to the story of the MS. The thesis consists of four parts. A grammatical study of the language of the MS. Part II Text with critical footnotes. Part III Translation. Part IV Complete glossary of the text with notes on the derivation of most of the words.
