2 This list in prose from 17 down to 33 is wanting in some MSS. I think that Sândilya is the same as Skandila, who was president of the council of Mathurâ, which seems to have been the rival of that in Valabhî; see notes to my edition of the Kalpa Sutra, p. 117.
It deserves to be noticed that the gotra of Sândilya is not given, while that of the remaining Sthaviras is specialised. This seems to prove that his name is a later addition to the list.
After the prose list all MSS. have eight gâthâs, in which the names 16-32, given above, are repeated. Instead of translating these verses, which contain little more than a string of names, I only note down the differences from the above list. After 18 is added Durgaya Krishna, a Kauka; Nakshatra is shortened, metri causa, to Nakkha; the gotra of Sanghapâlita is Kâsyapa instead of Gautama; after 30 are inserted Hasta of the Kâsyapa gotra and Dharma.
After these gâthâs follow five more, which are wanting in some MSS., and are not commented upon. The last (14th) gâthâ is
