HEMACANDRA ON THE CĀRVĀKA:A STUDY: RAMKRISHNA BHATTACHARY 145
invites Tibullus, his melancholic friend, to visit him at his farm: “As for me, when you want to laugh you will find me in fine fettle, fat and sliek, a hog from Epicurus’ herd (epicuri de grege porcum)”. (pp. 276-77). Cf. modern English words, “epicure' and 'epicurean’ used to suggest “person with refined taste in food and drink" and "person fond of pleasure and luxury” respectively (as glossed in
the Little Oxford Dictionary). 40. In Diogenes Laertius, 10.131-32, Vol. 2, p. 657. 41. Blackburn, p.122. 42. TSPC, 1.245, p.12. 43. VDMP, I. 108, 18cd-19ab, f. 70a; TSP, p.17, NM, Ch.7, Part 2,
p.257 and SDS, p.3. 44. Trans. E.B. Cowell. For a detailed discussion of the many variants
of this verse, see Ramkrishna Bhattachrya (1996b). 45. YS, f. 98b (on 2.47). 46. SVM, p.69. 47. Trans. Thomas. p. 69. 48. Thomas, p. 69 n36. 49. SDS (BORI ed.), p.13, v.4. It is, however, possible that Thomas
used the BI ed. or the Anandāśrma ed. of SDS (or any of their verbatim reprints) in which the second line of the verse runs as follows:
gacchatāmiha jantuna- vyartha- pātheyakalpanam In later editions (e.g., BORI ed.), this is the first line of another additional verse (v.5). (Joshi prints the text of SDS, Ch 1, from the BORI ed. but retains the trans. by Cowell who followed the BI ed. and so had no access to this verse). Hemacandra and Mallişeņa, however, seem to have got the verse in question from two different sources. 50. PC, Act 2, v. 21, p. 40.
