________________ correspond to the 'Ubhayapadin'l46. Jainendra Dhatupatha has been found with the longer version of Somadeva; it abandons the use of accents, and uses throughout 'n' to denote Ubhayapada, and 'n' or 'ai' to denote Atmanepada while the absence of any of these signs denotes Parasmaipada, roots belonging to this last category being called 'Mabantah' in the Dhatupathal47. The Kasakstsna Dhatupatha has striking resemblance with the traditional Katantra Dhatupatha of Durga, in that both treat the 'Hu' i. e. the Juhotyadi' class as a sub-class of the 'Ad', i. e. the 'Adadi' class148 In many respects the Sakatayana Dhatupatha is nothing more than a revised edition of the Jainendra Dhatupatha. His is the only Dhatupatha which, does not begin with the root 'Bhu. Instead of the word Dhatupatha he has used the word 'Mula-praksti-patha, and he is very systematic in the arrangement of roots within sections149. Buddhisagara's Dhatupatha differs from those of his predecessors in that, unlike all others, it is entirely in the metrical form, like his Ganapatha. And, in his class-structure he seems to follow Katantra and Kasakstsna in treating the 'Hu' class as a sub-class of the 'Adadi' class. Unlike sakatayana, he begins his Dhatupatha with the 'Bhu' class, and he has his roots classified in nine Ganas, viz., Bhvadi, Adadi, Divadi, Svadi, Tudadi, Rudhadi, Tanadi, Kryadi and Curadi, having the roots totalling about 1030, 103, 145, 39, 152, 22, 11, 58 and 398, respectively, thus making the grand total of the roots 1958. Like the Paninian Dhatupatha he gives the meanings also in the metrical set up of his Dhatupatha, while he elaborates it in his autocommentary which is in prose. Like Candra, he utilizes the terms 'Tananin', * Atananin' in his Dhatupatha, but he also mentions the Paninian term "Parasmaipadin' at least once in his auto-commentary on the verse 68. Since he has cast his Dhatupatha in the metrical form, he had to choose the order of the roots in the light of the requirements of the metre utilized for the purpose. Consequently, we do not find the division of the Ganas into subclasses here. To take a comparative view as regards the total number of the roots listed in various Dhatupathas, we find that Panini has 1905, Candra 1575, Jainendra 1478, Kasakrtsna 2411, Katantra 1858, Sakatayana 1855, and Buddhisagara 1958; he is thus nearer to Panini, but more so to Hemacandra who has listed 1980 roots in all. * The Dhatupathas are not meant to be merely so many lists of roots. In the form in which we see them in the Paninian and subsequent
