The following observations are brought out by the above comparison :
(1) In LPS there are four pilgrims; in Pratandhapanicaśali there are many. The Kcdāra or the furiner is replaced by Ilimila ya in the latter. In the former Ana di Rapla converses with dem and the Raulānis, just arriving, overhear the sanie. In the latter the RauTapis are stated to le sitting there and they converse with the pilgrims in a longer way.
(2) In LPS the Raulānis are stated to have arrives at the royal court in Sabhusand or litter, while in the rest two versions they are depicted as mounted on plantain-leaves.
(3) The conversalion between the king and the Raclānis that is found in our text is absolutely alysent in the other two versicos.
(4) Subhasilaganin's version inserts a new point viz. minister Säntui's question and the king's revealing the fact that he was worrying due to the Raulinis challenge. The statenient there that the king accepted, after hesitation, the triph:l« given by Sajjana is corfosive and out of place,
(5) In LPS and Prabandhui asali minister Sånti overhears the conversation between Sajja 1a and his father, though, of course, the minister's name is not given in Subhasilaganin's text. In the Prs version, however, the king himself, during liis nocturnal viracarvi, overhears their talks. In IPS the old man tells his son that the occasion was beneficial to the king; while in Prabandhapanicaśali he complains that though a number of such problems were solved by him in Karnadeva's court, he was not being honoured by his son.
(6) LPS states that a litter was sent to bring Haripila; while according to the Pruhandhapaicasali le rejected the king's suininons thrice. Suchi details are avoided in the abridged version of PPS.
(7) The three verses of post-dinner chit-chatting for a peculiarity of LPS alone; while thic interesting talks between the king and Haripila are found only in Suba silaganin's version.
(8) According to PPS seven days lapse thereafter ; according 10 Prabandhapanicusuri, cight days. This is altogether avoided by th:: LPS version,
(9) The final incident is narrated extensively by Subaslaganin, and I'PS makes only an abrupt statement to that effect; while LPS describes the same in a succinct but clear way through very short tout sweet sentences
