________________ ORIGIN AND GENEALOGY OF VARIOUS VAMSAS 207 which is 28th. On the whole Nos. 44,60.61 and 62 of the PCV can be compared in the same order with No. 19 of the Puranas, 20 & 21 of the VR and again 22 of the Purāņas as given in the above consolidated list. Now we compare the list of the PCV with the lists of other Jaina works so as to find out how far they are identical. In all there are 27 kings from Rṣabha to Mṛgaika in the PCV. Vasubalamahābala should be taken as two persons then the total number comes to 27+1=28. The PCR mentions 32 kings and the HVPS agrees with the PCR. Out of them Prabhūtatejas and Vitabhi should be taken as adjectives, and 'Sagara' and 'Bhadra' should be taken as the parts of one name as Sagarabhadra. Thus the total number comes to 32-230. Out of them 27 names agree with those of the PCV. Sitayaśas of the PCR is mentioned as Sihajasa in the PCV and as Smitayaśas in the HVPJ. Atibala is the only name in the PCR which does not find mention in the PCV. If Atibala and Amṛta of the PCR are taken together as one person i. e. Atibala-amṛta then the person becomes identical with Amiyabala of the PCV. Thus the PCR agrees with the PCV. Bh. Somasena agrees with the PCR except that he mentions Pavanavīrya additionally and does not refer to Tejasvin, Tapana and Pratapavat. The name of Amṛtabala (9) in the HVPJ indicates the influence of the PCV on the HVPJ. Now we take up the ancestors of Rama from Vijaya to Dasaratha. Commencing from Vijaya, Rama's place is 37th, 36th, 34th and 36th, in the PCV, PCS, TSP and RPS respectively. Naravasaha (46) of the PCV may be dropped as an adjective. In all 29 names of the PCV (excluding nos. 39, 40, 41, 42, 45, 46, 55 & 56) agree with those of the PCR and the TSP. In the latter work No. 49 does not agree but that loss is replaced by No. 42-Induratha who, is just identical with Saśiratha of the PCV. In all 33 names of the TSP are identical with those of the PCR. The additional four kings, viz. Sataratha, Udayapṛthu, Vārinātha and Dvirada are taken by the TSP from the PCR because they are not mentioned in the PCV. So it may be concluded that Hemacandra has followed both the PCV and the PCR while it is quite apparent that Bh. Somasena completely agrees with Ravişeņa and he is influenced by Hemacandra's TSP (See Udayapṛthu between Nos. 41, 42 and 57 also) as well as the PCV (See No. 9 & 24). The PCR additionally mentions Aja and Pṛthu who find place in the Brahmanical tradition.
