INSTALMENT OF THE BOWER MANUSCRIPT.
363
Noe. 20, and 21, MabAmanasvin and Manasvin. The latter in Ch. S. and in P. Dy. The Vy. has Manasti (sic) as No. 57.
No. 22, Kalaka. The Vy. gives Kalaka as the 17th of the common Nagas, and a Káliko as the 31st of the Nagarajas. The P. Dy, has it as the name of a Rakshasa and an Asura.
No. 23, Apalála is mentioned by (Hiuen Tsiang, Vol. I, p. 122, 123, 126, note) as the Naga of the spring which forms the source of the Swat river in Udyana. He was prevailed upon by Buddha to desist from annually inundating the country. He is No. 45 in Vy. In P. Dy. it is the name of a Rakshasa,
No. 24, Bhôgavan, according to P. Dy, occurs in the Suparnidhyâya, p. 9, 1.
No. 25, Sråmaņēra is probably the Nagaraja whose story is told by (Hiuen Triang, Vol. I., p. 63, 64). He was originally a Srimaņêra, or Buddhist novice, but became the Naga king of a lake on the summit of a snowy mountain in the Hindu Kush. The Vy. has a Sramaņa as the 19th in the list of common Nagas.
No. 26, Dadhimukha, in the M. Bh., l. c., also according to the P. Dy., in the Harivuriga (Calcutta ed.), v. 9503.
No. 28, Pandarika, not mentioned elsewhere. The Vy., however, has a Padma, as the 4th of the Nagarajas.
No. 29, Karkötaka is No. 2 of the Nagarajas in Vy. and No. 5 in the M. Bh., I. c. Wd. gives Karakotaye in one Dharani and Karkota in another. The P. Dy. has it.
No. 30, Sankhapada. The Vy. has Sankhapalo as the first of the Nagarajas; there is also a 'Sankho as No. 22. wd. gives "Shangkapala" in all Dharanis. It can hardly be doubted that all these are intended for the same name. The M. Bh., 1. c., has Sankhapiņda.
Nos. 31 and 32, Kambala and Asvatara are enamerated in the Vy. under one No. 65, though stated to be two separate Någarajas. They are Nos. 34, 35 in the M. Bh., 1. c. The Páli Dy. has Kambala,
No. 33, SÅkétaka is not found elsewhere. It might be not a name, but an epithet of No. 34 Kambhira, meaning a native of the town of Sakête' (= Ayodhya in Oudh), and if all these names are those of sacred springs, we should here have the name of a spring in the centre of North India. It is just possible that the name may be Sámkétaka: but the apparent anngvara ia attached to the foot of the letter in the line above sâkâtaka, and is, in all probability, part of that letter.
No. 34, Kumbhira is, in Hiuen Tsiang, Vol. II., p. 49, the name of several Nagas of poole near Benares. In the P. Dy. it is the name of a Yaksha.
No. 35, Súchiloma occurs in No. 74 of the inscriptions on the Bharaut Stûpa as the nemo of a Yaksha (see ante, Vol. XXI., p. 233).

No. 38, Rishika; not found elsewhere.
No. 39, Purana is No. 9 in the M. Bh., l. c. The P. Dy. quotes a Naga Paranaka from the Harivansa (Calcutta ed.), v. 9502.
Nos. 40-43. Karnaka, Sakatamakha, Kolaka, Sananda are not found elsewhere. The Vy.. however, gives Kulika, as the name of the 3rd Nagaraja.
No. 44, Vatsiputra, also spelled Vätsiputra, and quoted by the P. Dy., as the name of a Nága, from the Káranda Vyúha 2, 13.
No. 45, Elapatra, also spelled Elậpatra. With the latter spelling it occurs as the name of the 43rd Nagaraja in Vy., and as No. 11 in the M. Bh., l. c.; also in Ch. 8. and P. Dy. Another spelling is Erâpata (in Skr. Airâvata) or Erâpatha, with the conjunct tr simplified into t or th
