scions of Jadu race headed by Sâmba became drunk with wine and seeing Dvipâyana in that posture said " This is that wretched Dvipayana who will destory Dvârikâ. Let us kill him.” Saying this they began to throw stones at Dvipâyana. Then Dvipayana became enraged and destroyed the city of Dvârikâ by fire. (See Canto 61, Harivamsa Purana by Jinasena.]
The reader will notice the similarity of this story with that in the Mahâbhârata and Harivaņsa of the Hindus where it is said that Dvârikê was depopulated by the curse of the angry sage Durbâsâ who was ridiculed by the young Jadus headed by Sâmba. The members of the Jadu race drank wine and killed one another in a quarrel, arising from a trifling canse while they were under the influence of wine. Verse 16. Page 48.
D. Sound. Dr. Brajendranath Seal writes in his "Positive Sciences of the Ancient Hindus :” Sounds may be classed as “loud or faint, bass (thick) or treble (hollow), claug or articulate speech." In a letter to us Dr. Seal has written “ This differs widely from the traditional explanations of Ghana as sound of metallic instruments and Suşira (Sauşira) as the sound of wind-instruments, etc." In page 48 we have folloired the classification adopted by kalanka Deva in Tattvârtha-raja-vârttika, Chapter V, Sûtra 24, Vârttikas 2–6. Dr. Seal is of opinion that Akalat ka Dera has not interpreted the Sûtra of Umâsvâmi according to the earlier tradition. Dr. Seal writes " My interpretations are more primary than the traditional ones and are nearer to Uinâsvâmi's meaning in this passage. The Amarkoşa and the P
ika (on Umâsvâmi) represent a later tradition." Verse 17-18. Pages 52-56.
E. Dharma and Adharma Asli':1yus. In "Positive Sciences of the Ancient Hindus” by Dr. Brajendranath Seal, M.A., Ph.D, we find on page 93 the words “merit and demerit" used as equivalents for Dharma and Adharma. In a letter to us Dr. Seal writes that he had put down the words "Dharma and Adharma," but possibly his proof-reader thinking bis retention of the Sanskrit terms to be a mere slip, put down what he thought to be their equivalents. This change escaped the notice of Dr. Seal when he hurried through the final proof.
