________________ attackers. The King acknowledged his defeat. He warmly welcomed his son-in-law and daughter. The story continues further but that last section is not relevant for our purpose here. Comparing AH. and SP, we find the following close parallels : Harinandin = Sadayavatsa Madhavi - Savalimga Anangasena = Kamasena Candraketu = The chief of the robber-band.. Puspalaka falsely becomes victim of the charge of stealing ear-ornments and ordered to be executed. To save Puspalaka Harinandin takes charge of theft upon himself. Kamasena falsely becomes victim of the charge of stealing a jewelled bodice and is ordred to be executed. To save Kamasena S. takes the charge upon himself. It will be seen that these similarities of charcters, incidents and situations are quite significant. The differenes between AN. and SP. can be accounted for as changes affected in his source by the dramatist. The Puspadusitaka Prakarana is a comparable case. It is likely that the story figured in some later version of Gunadhyas Brhatkatha. The Kamasena-vipralambha referred to by Bhoja obviously used the same source.
