THE SANSKRIT TEXT OF THE SADDANTAVADANA *
The story of the six-tusked elephant is found in Päli, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources. It has been studied by Léon Feer and Alfred Foucher'. A Sanskrit version is found in the Kalpadrumāvadānamālā (K) and in two manuscripts of the Bodhisattvävadänakalpalată (AK) in the Univer Isity Library in Cambridge. However, in these two manuscripts this story is a later addition. The Paris and Cambridge manuscripts of K contain 29 stories. The 25th is the Ṣaddantävadäna. Another manuscript of K, belonging to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, goes back to a different recension and does not include the Saddantavadana3. In the Paris and Cambridge manuscripts of K the Saddantävadāna consists of 224 verses. The AK version of the story is made up out of the following 110 verses of these 224 verses: 5, 59-123, 144-161, 166-184, 190 and 193-198. Eight verses (A-G in the following edition) have been added but most of them are base upon corresponding verses in the K version: A see 7ab and 10ab, B see 10cd and 11cd, D see 55a and 57cd, E see 58, G see 165, H see 191. Verses A-G are added between the following verses: A-E Between 5 and 59, F between 123 and 144, G between 161 and 166 and H between 190 and 193.
The Paris manuscript of K is much more carefully written than the Cambridge manuscript, which, for instance, often omits visargas and

other final letters. In the critical apparatus these and other unimportant misspellings in the Cambridge manuscript have not been noted. Of the two Cambridge manuscripts of AK the first (A) is an old manuscript, written in 1302, but corrected by another hand. The second (B) is a modern manuscript of secondary importance.
Speyer, who edited the Avadana of Subhuti (the 10th story of K) on the basis of the Paris and Calcutta manuscripts, remarked that the two manuscripts appear to be independent from each other, though they go back to a common source. Different readings in several verses (59d, 69a, 111b, 156a, 167c and 194a) show that the AK version of the story is based upon a slightly different recension.

In the following edition of the Saddantāvadāna several problems remain unsolved. It is perhaps useful to list the verses which are unsatisfactory from the point of view of either the text itself, or its meaning, or, finally, the metre: 13b, 29a, 52c (pradattva), 74, 78c, 83b, 112c (read panditakhyasya?), 120cd, 133a (rasävarṇī), 144c (read -lakṣyo?), 181c, 185cd, Cd (saksanaiḥ), 200c (metre), 200d (samsärägramanu-), 210b (moho?), 216d (read nar(a)kāc?), 224d (read (a)mita-?), 224d (pramodāḥ). The numbers of the verses found also in the AK version are printed in italics.
