PARISISTAPARVAN
about Vasudova, Krsna, etc As Prof Leumann informs me, the Cúrni on Āvasy VIII 161, 3 mentions the Vasudevahindi as its source of the story of Prasannacandra and Valkalacirin The date of the Vasudevahindi is not known At any rate it cannot be later than the sixth century AD, of we allow an interval of no more than a century between it and the Cūrnis, and as much between them and Haribhadra
I now proceed to reproduce, in tabular form, Prof Lenmann's analysis of the contents of the Parisista Paryan with reference to the sources drawn upon by Hemacandra, whose narrative in the first three sargas is modelled on the extensive introduction of the Vasudevahindi, of the 13 stories of the latter (indicated in the synoptic table by Roman numbers) some are reproduced by Hemacandra In the remaining part of his work he took the materials for it from several works of the Kathānaka Literature as stated in the Synoptic Table.
