The most remarkable feature of the above is the statement in reference to the number of the words of each aiga. According to Abhayadeve in the scholia, 67 the number of words in the case of angas 1-4, increases continually by half till the eleventh anga is reached; and the Nandi and an anonymous writer thereupon asserts the same with the modification that, instead of angas 1-4, angas 1-5 are said to show this increase. This view is however in direct opposition to the actual facts of the case, for angas 7-11 are the least of all as regards their extent; which is so very small that there can be no thought of “100,000 countable padas,"40" countable" meaning here probably “those that need a special count," "numerous" or "innumerable." If we reckon on the average for each padam three aksharazo and for each grantha (éloka i.e. 32 aksh.), twelve padas, the following is the result of a comparison of the number of these granthas, stated as in the MSS., with the above pada numbers [288].

+ N at least has only " thousands."
+ Acoord. to Leumann samkhajja signifies merely an indefinite number that is still to be counted, and not always a large number.
* See Bhagav. 1, 877. This is true in the case of the prose; in verso we must reduce the number somewhat. The preliminary question is of course-What does the author understand by pada? [Malayagiri in the Nandi KH SAYA D. 425 yatrorth palabdhis tat padam.-L.) In this approximation of three aksharas to pada I havo jeokoned the single members of compounds a single word, in so far as the compounds can lay claim to be considered as such.
61 See above, p. 250. The grantha enumeration is of secondary origin in comparison with the pada enumeration.
59° So also in nisithabhishya pedh. 1 (taken from the Ashraniry.). It must, however, be noted that the whore number (18.000) referred to the frat srutaskandha only.
