5] Sakabhadrikā (HT4f4131)
The name of the fifth text in the list is 'Sagabhaddiyao'. This Prakrit version is accepted by Haribhadra and Malayagiri. Some other scholars accept the version 54f131' and render it as "TheHfCT - "a science (or art) of making carts, chariot etc." or "a science of warfare based on the description of Tacole etc."
According to my opinion, 70-4fc4T has a certain meaning. We find a list of the non-Aryan
people in Ardhamāgadhi texts as सग-हूण-बब्बर etc'. One of the meanings of भद्रिका is an enchanted sacred thread'. In Hindi dictionary it is translated as well. Therefore it can be a text based on popular beliefs, giving out enchanted black threads for expelling evil spirits etc. These magical practices might have entered in India with the advent of Sakas. The story of Kālakācārya and Saka
King is given in the Prabandha literature of Jainas.
Thus if we accept the reading 274-4fcht' it could be a text dedicated to magical rites. In the variant readings, fest' is common and words are - 2°, HEO, T30, HTC, wao.
6] Khodamuha (?)
Different Prakrit variants are noted of this text in different mss. of Nandi and Anuyogadvāra. They are - sye, STYE, 314YE, ESTE and disry.
If the name of the text is ', it is obviously a text concerned to horses, as Ghasilalaji suggests. But in that case, 915444 is a better reading because he' matches with the list of Śrutas. Punyavijayaji accepts the reading "WYE'. The word 'ETE' can be traced in the Skt. roots eas and 'क्ष्विद्'. क्ष्वेड् is phonetically nearer to खोड. Various meaning of the root क्ष्वेड् are given. The common general meaning is, 'to produce sound', which is necessarily connected with mouth (muha< mukha). Therefore clsHe is probably a text related to phonetics - a science of articulated sounds.
If we treat as as a Desya word, the word means 'a mountain deity', thus CISE means the masks or small idols of mountain deities. Manoramākahā mentions Equuclu3 in the same
sense. It is indicated that the art of making masks or small idols of popular deities was prevalent in the society.
7] Kalpāśrita ( fata)
Sanskrit rendering of the word fire is suggested by many scholars as fifth an art of weaving clothes with cotton threads.' It is only a wide guess based on the Skt. rendering. DVG. covers 72 different arts under clauf 13h. Do 'the art of weaving' is worth mentioning separately ? So we should think some other alternative. cynfera' can also be 7441fe as per rules. If we go through the various meanings of the4, the word tryfera direct us to wa', where the word 4' is used in the sense of, religious duties and rituals of Varnāśramas'.
If the word is suggestive of Kalpasūtra, then it is sacrificial science or Jaiminīya Darśana i.e. Purva-mimāmsā.
