APPENDIX ONE by the ocean. He obtains it and Kubera builds his city there. In 8. 6. 25 Dvārikā is on the western ocean. In 8. 7. 140 Dvārikā was made on “ a site given by the ocean." In 8. 11. 106 it was covered by the ocean, after it was burned. But in 8. 5. 391, just previous to his interview with Susthita, he made his camp to the north-west of Mt. Raivataka. There Satyabhāmā bore twin sons. In 8. 5. 418 its location is described very exactly: Raivataka was to the east of it, Mālyavat to the south, Mt. Saumanasa to the west, and Gandhamādana to the north-which certainly would not apply to Müla-dvārakā, but might to Junagadh. In 8. 7. 195 Kļşņa left Dvārikā and went to the north-east for 45 yojanas and stopped at Sinapalli, where Anandapura was later founded (8. 8. 28). LAI (p. 266) identifies Anandapura with Vadnagar in North Gujarat. In 8. 11. 100 he leaves Dvārakā and goes to the southeast to the Pāņdavas'city, Pāņdumathurā. LAI
(p. 271) takes Dvārakā to be Junagadh. P. 228 (8. 7. 258). Or perhaps, Bhānuka. Satyabhāmā had
twins, Bhānu and Bhāmara (p. 177); a son named Bhānuka (p. 188); and a son Anubhānuka, (p. 214). His other name
was Bhiru. Mahābhānu was also a son of Krşņa.. P. 235 (8. 7. 371). After asking for years many Sanskritists
for suggestions for brahmasutra, at the last minute I was offered an interpretation that made sense. I, and everyone else, had correlated brahmasütrena with asinā, but Mr. T. Venkitram Shastri of the Rāmāyaṇa Dept., O. I., interprets it quite differently: “Anādhțşti, light-handed, using trickery, cut Hiranya's body along the sacred thread, like a piece of wood.” I.e., he cut the body diagonally along the line of the sacred thread. He cited a passage in the
Rāmāyaṇa, 6. 81. 30, where the same method is used. P. 265 (8. 9. 282). The cakora, a kind of partridge, is supposed
to live on moonbeams. P. 281 (8. 10. 115). This incident is mentioned in the
Çauppaņņamahāpurisacariya, p. 197 (Prakrit Text Society
