The actual composition of the text of the second part is quite summary. To the first vagga five ajhayanas are ascribed, 58 their names being Kâlî, Râti, Rayani, Vijju, Môhâ, names of the five wives of Camara. The history of the first alone is really related, and that in quite brief fashion; that of the second is very much abbreviated and is identified with the first by the use of the customary marks of abbreviation (évam jaha Kali, tam chêva savvam jâva); that of the third is still shorter, and the fourth and fifth are settled with a word or two.
The text of the remaining vargas is despatched in a like summary fashion with but few words, althongh quite a number of ajjh, are allotted to several of them. Their contents is as follows: varga 2 five ajjh., vargas 3 and 4, 54 each, vargas 5 and 6 each 32, vargas 7 and 8 each 4, vargas 9 and 10 each 8.-In the Vidhiprapå however 10 ajjhayanas each are allotted to varya 1 and 10 to varga 2.59
The extent of the second part in the MSS. is one-twenty-first of the first part. In one MS. the commentary on part 2 is despatched in four lines. Even if all due regard is paid to the second note on anga 7 given below on p. 315, how curious are the statements, p. 286, 289, 308, from anga 4 and Nandi. · The events take place in Rayagiha, Champa, Vårânasi, Baravati, Viyasôga, Têyalipura, Ahichchhattå, Hatthisisa, Pumdaragint. In the first account we find an [313] enumeration of nonAryan peoples; some are not found among those quoted, p. 302, from anga 5, others are found here which are wanting there. We mad (see Steinthal, p. 28) : bahûhim Chilâiyâhim khujjahin vâvaņi(!) - vadabbi(!) - Babbari - Vaüst - Fôniya - Palhavi -Isiņi-Thârugiņi-LÀsiya-Laüsiya-DamiliSinhali-Aravi-Pulimdi-Pakkaņi Baban-Murundi-Sabari-Pârasihim. There is, furthermore, mention made here of 72 kalás (cf. p. 282 and Steinthal, p. 29). The word javaniya (St. p. 14), yavaniká, "curtain," refers to a stage-curtain or to the theatrical plays of the Greeks. We must not fail to notice the mention of 18 dêsîbhâsâð (St. p. 29), in a list which does not go into detail (see below, p. 336 and on up. 1. Cf. Ind. Stud. XVI. 38 on the word talavara (St. p. 14).
There is a commentary by Abhayadêva.
