________________ Isibhasiyaim : 239 place Ambada, who however only poses the opening question - , the insertion of the piece reminding one of canonical dialogues is understandable. Not so is that of No. 20, where, it is true, we are reminded of the canon, but where decidedly no Rsi, not to speak of the Rsi-bhasita, is to be found. ... By designating the originator of the section as ukkatavadi, the Samgahani referred to circumvents the difficulty and can speak of 45 Rsis. For, it states that 20 Rsis belong to the time of Aristanemi, 15 to that of Parsva, and 10 to that of Vira. The same is stated by Isimandala 45 f. (cp. Weber II 948), and this likewise without intimating which "patteyabuddha" fall into the period of which Tirthamkara. A plan in the order of the men is noi noticeable, only in the second half a few who belong together are found close to one another, cp. 29, 31, 32, 34, 37 (these according to the shape of the names); 33, 35; 39, 40 and a final group 42 - 45 is formed by the Lokapalas, and this for the matter of that, so scantily that the first three, as though they were only stop-gaps, are disposed off without the exposition of their mottoes. For our inspection, a grouping other than the pseudohistorical one recommends itself. In Jannavakka=Yajnavalkya (12), Bahuka, i.e. Nala (14), Soriyana, cp; Sauryayani (16), Aruna Mahasalaputta (33), cp. Aruni, and the latter himself : Addalaga=Uddalaka (35), the brahmanical prototypes known to us, clearly.come to light. The epithet mahana-parivvayagastamps Pinga (32), Isigiri (34) and Sirigiri (37) as Brahmans; the parivvayaga Ambada4 belongs here, as well as his interlocutor Jogamdharayana (25). Thus also Madhurayana (15) Ariyayana (19), and vitta Tarayana (36), who are not described in detail, and about the last of whom along with some others, one more word will have to be said just now, as also about Angarisi (4) and Varisavakanha (18). Buddhists appear in mahai-Mahakasava i.e., Mahakasyapa (9) and Sa(t)iputta buddha = Sariputra (38), and in view of the disfigurations of well-known names it is, I suppose not too bold to see in Vajji(ya)putta (2) the head of the school of the Vatsiputras, i.e. Vatsiputra.
