________________ Isibhasiyaim : 243 bearing his name, which does not contain motto of the usual kind. If the stanzas speak of the worldly desires (Kama) and their control, this goes back to the story of Addaga, which Silanka renders with regard to Suyagadanijjutti 190-200 (edition 387a). There we read that insight into the transitoriness of worldly treasures led Ardrakumara to monkhood. If Samjaya (39) and Divayana, were not standing side by side intentionally, it would be a strange coincidence. We are however not concerned with the epical Samjaya, but with the king" known from Utt. 18 and sanskritized as Samyata. At least in 39, 4 this great huntsman is described, But in the commentary to 39 and 40 a conjucure will be ventured regarding the places of origin of several passages. No bridge leads to the motto from the narrative of Isim. 119, which is exclusively concerned with Samyata. From the pattern of the above-mentioned monstrous forms, one feels tempted to find Samjaya's teacher (Utt. 18 22) as well as that of Khandaga (Vijahapannatti 2, 2), Gaddabhali by name, in Dagabhala (22), whose section is entitled the Gaddabhiya. As now regards Divayana, we know him best, as already stated, from ZDMG 42, 495 ff. 12 as parivvayaga, risi and muni, how cannot abandon his anger about a bodily maltreatment. His buitam in our text, however, deals with the giving up of desire, and though each thirsting for revenge does contain a desire, yet the destruction of Dvaravati is surely not thought of with regard to the iccha. The conclusion of this survey makes Indanaga (44). Dressed in red, he accepted the gifts of many who announced themselves by a drum signal, thus the story to Isim. 95 reports. Under his name, though his motto remains withheld from us, our text is justified in making its reflections about the professional ascetices. Now let us throw a glance of the metrical material of the Isibhasiyaim. They have 452 complete stanzas, and the extent of the adjoining prose can be called large, while the Dasaveyaliya contains 550 stanzas and little prose, the Uttarajjhayana 1-14 501 stanzas and almost no prose. The four and a half hundred stanzas would lead upto the middle of the 9th chapter in the purely metrical 1st half of the Suyagada. Thus, as far as quantity is
