THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[DecemBER, 1892.
(as in étha for atra). The former (with t) occurs in Nos. 59 and 60 of the inscriptions on the Bharaut Stûpa (see ante, Vol. X., p. 258 and Vol. XXI, p. 232). The other (with th) is the commoner one, and occurs in the Khandhavatta Játaka (Vol. I., p. 145); see also Pali Dy., 8. v. Nágo. A third spelling is Elâpana or Eråvaņa, of which the former is given by Mr. Morris from Ch. S., while the other corresponds to the Sanskrit form Airåvaņa. There was a Någaråja of this name both near Takshabila and Banâras, see Hiuen Triang, Vol. I., p. LXVIII. and p. 187.
No. 46. Lambara may be the Någaraja of the lake on the crest of the mountain of "Lanpo-lu," in Udyâna, whose story is given by (Hiuen Tsiang, Vol. I. p. 128 ff). Vy. gives Lambuka as the name of the 12th Nagaraja (also in the P. Dy.)
No. 47. Pithila, not found elsewhere.
No. 48. Muchilinda, (or Machalinda), was the blind Naga king of the Mandakint lake near Gaya, who, after Buddha's enlightenment, shielded him in seven folds during a storm (Hiuen Tsiang, VOL. I., p. LXIII., Vol. II., 128, Nidana Katha, p. 109). Also in Oh. 8., P. Dy. and Pdli Dy.
II.-Black Nagas. Dr. Waddell informs me that the Någas invoked in Tibetan rain-charms are of three kinds: white, black, and angry. The names of the black and the angry Nägas are mostly such unintelligible words, as Hili, Mili, Jala, &c. Many of these occur in our spell. I believe they are really mere unintelligible jargon, interspersed here and there with a real name, such as Påmsn-piśâchini, or a real word, such as goldya. It was only pedantio sabtlety that made them into names of Nagas. In the Krahamanta-ndma Dharani occur the following names of black Någas : Limi Limi, Hili Hili, Tsili Tsili, Jala Jala, Pata Pata, Brara Brara Kati Kati (Wd.). In another Dharani are found the following angry Nagas: Mili, Hili, Jala Puta, Brara, Kuti, Takra, Hala, Hulu, Siti, Kuru, Egate, Arare, Madhaye, Patini, Apare Shibate, Ture. Of these Hili, Jaia, Mili also occur in our spell; and Tsili, Brara, Hulu, Kuru, Arare may be respectively compared with our Chala, Baba, Huhu, Kala or Kola, Ade. A few unintelligible names are also given in the Vyutpatti among those of the Någarajas: thus its No. 36 Edo, No. 51 Holudo, No. 52 Ulakó, No. 71 Dramadro. With these may be compared our Ele, Huhu, Duma or Dumba or Dôdumba.
Dr. Waddell gives me from the Klu-i-sde or classes of Nagas' in the Mdo-mang or collection of sůtras' the following list of Naga kings and Någas :
"Om Nagaraja Ananta svåhå! Någaraja Upanata, Takshaka, Karkota, Ulika, Ananta, Basuki, Maliki, Shangkapåla, Panaye, Kanale, Babute. Om mærzang Någa Gayana, Nagaraja Ugate, Naga Mujiki, Majalasho, Prashanaye, Naga Garaneye swahå; Dakuri svåhâ; Shona Majalasho, Prashona, Kurani, Dukari (No. 2), Maruņi, Debaya, Gaya, Bhanajayu, Bayama, Ragashaya, Ratsayu, Debaya, Nagaraja Yu, Någa Nate, Nagaraja Debaya, Ja hung bam ho ! Nagaraja Ye svaha! Nagaraja Naye, Naga Ragashaye, Yunaye, Upaye, Ghanagudeye. Om Nagaraja Ananta Svåhå! Någarâja Unanta, Upanatana, Tagnan svåhå! Någaraja Karköta, Ulika, Basuki, Malika, Shangkala, Någa Kili kili svåhå! Mili mili svåhå! Jala, jala; Pata pats. Dhama dhama, Ehara bhara, Kuti kati, Hara hara, Tara tara, Hula hula, Hulu hulu. Siti siti, Svati svati, svåhå! Någa Guru guru svåha! Agete, Arate, Marate, Badane, Apara, Sbabảe svahA! Tari turi, Buri buri, Hatse hutse svåhå! Salutation to all the Näga kings, including Ananda!”
III. Dovis or Nagis. Of the 10 names mentioned on A.IIIal I have only noticod one which is similar in Dr. Waddell's list. It is Patini, which appears, however, as the name of an angry Nága, in a Dharani of the latter Nagas. The Vyutpatti gives no list of names of Dêvis or Någis.
IV.-Grahas or Seizures. Twenty-one are enumerated in our MS. : 1, Déva, 2, Någa, 3, Asura, 4, Marata, 5, Garuda, 6, Gandharva, 7, Kinnara, 8, Mahôraga, 9, Yaksha, 10, Rakshasa, 11, Prêta, 12, Pisacha, 13, Bhâta, 14, Kumbhånda, 15, Pûtana, 16, Katapatana, 17, Skande. 18. Uamida, 19, Chhâyâ, 20, Apasmara, 21, Dustáraka. Nearly the same list is given in the Vyatpatti: the nine first mentioned, together with No. 14 Kumbhånda constitute its entire 156th chapter of names of supernatural beings, viz., 1, Deva, 2, Någa, 3, Yaksha 4,
