THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
FOCTOBER, 1892.
[7] The list reads : 1. Suhamma, - 2. Jamba, - 3. Pabhava, - 4. Sijjambhava, 5. Jasabhadda, - 6. Sambhùa, - 7. Bhaddavâhu, - 8. Thúlabhadda, -9. Mabâgiri (and Suhatthi, - 10. (Valissaha) the twin brother of Vahala (see note 7 on p. 6), -11. Sâi, - 12. Samajja, 'Syâmarya, 11 - 13. Samdilla, - 14. Ajja13 Jiadhara, Jita', - 15. Samudda, - 16. Mamgu13 v. 30, - 17. Dhamma v. 31, - 18. Bhaddagutta v. 31, - 19. Vaara, 14 Vajra v. 31, - 2. Rakkhia v. 32, -21. Ajjanaṁdila, i. e. perhaps Ajja Anamdila (Ajja No Schol.) v. 33,- 22. Nagahatthi v. 34, -23. Rêvaïnakkhatta v. 35,- 24. Khamdila vv. 36, 37,1525. Himavarta vv. 38, 39, -26. Någajjoņa16 vv. 39, 40, 45,- 27. Gôvinda v. 41, - 28. Bhûadinna vv. 42-45, scholar of Nagajjupa, -29. Lôhichcha v. 46,- 30. Dúsagani vv. 47–49.
That this list actually reaches as far as the author or his teacher is rendered the more probable by the fact that in the last verse of the list (v. 50) the nâņassa parûvapam is stated to be the purpose of the account which is to follow -- and this purpose reproduces correctly the contents of N. Next follow two secondary insertions, first a gâtbå, [8] which cites 14 examples or titles of stories in reference to capable and incapable scholars (the avachûri contains a more detailed account) and secondly a short polemical notice of the three kinds of paris.i. parshad, viz. :-jàņiâ, ajánia and duvviaddhia - each of which is illustrated by a gatha.
At this point the investigation of the jnanam begins, in which a principal part is played by the enumeration of the different categories and sub-categories of both the principal classes into which the jnanam is divided17 - the pachchakkhanâņam and the parokkhanåņam. The latter contains much that is interesting. It in turn is twofold, Abhinivõhiyao (bodhika) and suao (sruta).
In the account of one of the two groups into which the Abhinivõhiyaparokkhankņam is divided, are inserted eight gåthås, which contain the titles of stories which belong in this connection, and which are intended to serve as examples. The avachûri goes into detail on this point
The spanåņaparokkham is divided into 14 groups among which Nog. 5, 6, 13, 14 are of special importance : -The sammasaam 5, samyakśrutam, is explained as jam imañ aribamtehin bhagavañtêhim uppannankņadamsaņadharê him... paniyam davalanamgam ganipidagam, tam jaha : âyårô.... ditthivâô.18 ichch-êyam duogan ga gam choddasapuvvissa sammasuaṁ abhinnals dasal 9]pavvissa sammastan. The posteriority of its composition to Vajra at least is clearly brought out in this passage.
In michchhasuam & we find that enumeration of some 20 works, or classes of works, of Brahminical literature which I cited from the Annyôgadvárasútra 20 and discussed on Bhagav. 2, 248. This list is here more detailed and offers several variants :- Bhåraham Ramayanam Bhimi.
. See Mêrutunga's Therdvali in Bhau Daji, Journ. Bombay Br. R. As. 8. 9, 151 (1867). Nos. 17-20 are not found therein (see p. 6), No. 21 is called Mandilla ( dila), No. 23 Révaisinha, and the list gives one name more in mentioning Devar(d)dhi himself after Deagani. 10 Valigsahasishyam Haritagotran Syatim.

Or duviham: pachchakkham and parokkham, and the latter is then : Abhinizôhiyaparokkhan path cha saanaņa parokkham cha; the Abhio is stanissian oha 4uanissiyan oha; both are fourfold, and the latter is divided into : uppattiya, vrata, kammi, parinAmil buddht (see p. 14n).
