pali's description is confirmed by Pandit Vislinudatta, the author of the Namacandrika commentary on the Amarah ora, who explains this word as denoting a type of Tilaka drawn with saffron, black Aguru, and other fragrant substances on the breasts, cheek, and etc. Tilaka and Visesaka seem to decote the auspicious tiny round or vertical mark put on the forehead between the eyebrows. This also is supported by Pandit Visbno datta - About Paltraccheda Dhanapala has not given a definite idea, except that it was of many kinds like Dravida and others, and that it was one of the fine arts which could entertain refined persons. Bhagavatsimbul has noticed this term as the name of one of the sixty-four arts to be learnt for the perfect fulfilment of the Kama Pue usartha? But Vatsyayana, the author of the Kamasutra, lists, not 'Pattraccheda', but 'Pattracchedya' or Visesakacchedya', which, according to Yasodhara the author of Jayamangala commentary on it, is a sort of a Tilaka consisting of trimming leaves of troes like birch, etc, 10 different shapes and figures to be applied to the forehead. Srinivasacarya, the coinmentator of Sudraka's Mrcchakatika explains the term Pattracchedya as referring to a type of picture in which artistically cut tiny pieces of fine leaf-thin sheets of wood or metal were utilized for cohancing the effect of variety • This art seems to be very old one as it is mentioned in the various texts of the Jain Canon, such as the Samaviyaaga sutta and Ayaranga sulla 10 Sridhara, the commentator of Srimad
