The new name is Vinayadhara, the last of the One-Angins according to E, which makes the initial period of 683 years to close with him. A and C know him not; on the other hand, E knows nothing of the five last names of the list of A and C.
But there is still another point of difference. Both traditions agree in making the pattavali proper commence with a Bhadrabáhu. Who is this Bhadrabâhu? From the dates assigned to him by A and C it is quite clear that, for them, he is identical with Bhadrabâhu II., who is mentioned as one of the Minor-Angins (or as one of the One-Angins in E) in the introduction and as having ascended the pontifical chair in 492 (or 490) A. V. and 4 Samvat. In E, however, he is said to have ascended the chair exactly 100 years later, i. e., in 104 Samvat. Three distinct names, vis., Sri-Dattasêna, Sivadatta and Aradatta, are interposed between him and Vinayadhara, the last of the One-Angins, and he is expressly enumerated as the 30th from Mahavira (counting the latter as the first of the series), while Bhadrabâhu, the One-Angin, is placed as the 25th. Undoubtedly their numbers are wrong; the MS. is very carelessly written: they should be the 27th and 33rd respectively; but anyhow they must occupy different places. It is clear, therefore, that in E there are three Bhadrabâhus, and that in it Bhadrabâhu III. is the beginner of the patṭâvall proper. I may here add, that the difference of 100 years is carried on in patțâvali E down to its No. 7, Yasaḥkirtti. With its No. 8, Gunananda, that difference has disappeared. But between its Nos. 7 and 8, three names are wanting, which (as I have already
