Now between Eadmund Ironside and Eadward the Confersor there intervened Cnut the Dane and his successors. Cnut had married Emma, the widow of Æthelred and mother of Eadward, and by her and a former wife had two sons, who succeeded in turn according to seniority, thus :
(1) Cnnt 1016-1035.
(2) Harold
(3) Harthacnut 1035-1039.
1039-1042. Turning to the Scottish kings, we find the genealogy to run thus :
(1) Duncan I.
ob. 1057.
(2) Malcolm III. Canmore
1057-1093,
(3) Donald Bane
1073-1098.10
(4) Eadgar 1098-1207.
(5) Alexander I.
1107-1124.
(6) David I. 1124-1153
(7) Malcolm IV.
(8) William the Lion 1153-1165.
1165-1214.

In Bühler's list there follow :
8. Nandisatram and F. AnuyogadvAras@tram. without any name to connect them. In Rajendra Lala Mitra, Notices of Sek. MSS. 3. (Calc. 1874) and in the Ratnaságara, p. 508 (Calc. 1880) both texts are mentioned in conjunction, but at the close of the Siddbinta after the malarůtras. In the Ratnas, the Angygady. precedes. On the other band we have already seen (p. 427 fg.) that, at the time of the three samdyárie, and indeed at that of the Vicharamsitasangraha, both texts were placed in . much earlier place of the Siddh., at the head of the painna group; though in the Vidhiprapd at least, their connection with this group is represented as uncertain (see 4297).
In bearing the stamp of individuality and having a systematic arrangement, both texts have a claim to a free and independent position. This shews that their author attempted to give an ondyclopedic, but systematic review of everything that appeared necessary to him as a means
