I have before me the commentary of Harşakula124 from the Tapagaccha. It was composed "varse 1583," but not after Vira, but after Vikrama, i.e. A.D. 1527.125 The origin of the Tapagaccha dates from Vira 1755.
III. The third angam, ṭhāṇam sthānam : an enumeration arranged in categories designed for the instruction of the more advanced and in fact for the eighth year of their instruction.126 The categories comprise successively subjects or conceptions conceived as one, two, and so on up to ten. Hence the whole text consists of 10 ajjhayanas, which are called ekasthāna, dvisthāna, etc.; ajjh. 2-4 each contain 4 udd., ajjh. 5 three udd. the rest of the ajjh. have no such sub-division, and exist as egasarāṇi (V) of one udd. each.
From the miscellaneous contents of this compendium I extract the following the nakṣatras: addā, cittā, sāti [268] are designated as egatāre, and then the number of the stars of the other nakṣatras is enumerated,127 In an enumeration of the divisions of time in 2, 4

124 We have a commentary to the fourth painna by a certain Harṣakusala.
125 The statements in reference to genealogy at the end are in agreement with Dharmasagara's Gurvavali of the Tapagaccha, of the members of which patriarchs 44,52-57 are mentioned; so that between 53 and 54 a Jagaccandramuni is referred to. See KI. p. 257ab.

127 See my treatise on the nakṣatras, 2,381 Iud. Stud. 9,448.10,293. According to the schol. we have here to do with the kṛttikä series cf. Bhag. 1,373.441. The names of the nakṣatras appear here invariably in their secondary form; dhanittha, bhaddavaya, etc. The name of the ahibudhnya is (2,3) corrupted into vividdhi (see Ind. Stud. 10,296).
