atthinatthipavāyassa puvvassa (this is the fourth purvam) aṭṭhārasa vatthū ; in § 19 enumeration of the 19 nāyajjhayaṇas, i.e. of the 19 books of anga 6, in karikā form; in § 23 enumeration of the 23 suyagaḍajjhayanas, i.e. of those of anga 2; in § 25 enumeration of the 25 ajjh. of anga 1; āyārassa bhagavao saculivigassa, the mahiparinna being mentioned in the ninth place and the nisihajjhayana being designated outright as "25th ajjh." The latter is probably the culiya (see § 57 and p. 254); the designation as bhagavant is found also in § 85, c.f. also § 84; in § 36 enumeration of the 36 ajjh. of the uttarajjhayaṇa, i.e. of the first mulasūtra, and in fact with a few insignificant variations of the names given here; see below § 43 teyālisaṁ kammavivāgajjhayaṇa paṁ (nattā); the names are however not enumerated; accord. to the schol, the 20 ajjh, of the eleventh anga, called vivägasuya are hereby referred to, as also the 23 of the second (!) anga. Cf. page 270 in reference to the kammavivāgadasău in ten ajjh. mentioned in anga 3, 10; § 44 coyalisam ajjhayaṇā isibhāsiyā devalogacuyobhāsiyā paṁ (natti); both of these texts, at least under these names, are no longer extant.169* I have found the devalogacuyabhāsiyā mentioned in this place alone; the isibhāsiya however are often mentioned. We have already come across them (see p. 272) in anga 3, 10 as third ajjh. of anga 10 (!). [281] In the Nandi they appear among the anangapaviṭṭha texts; the author of the Avasy. nijj. confesses that he (2, 6) is author of a nijj. to the isibhäsiäi too, and (8, 54), placing them in the second place, describes them together with kaliasua, sūrapannatti and diṭṭhivaa as the four kinds of aṇuoa (see p. 258); Abhay. however here characterizes them as kālikaśrutaviśeṣabhūtāni. Haribhadra on Av. identifies them, on one occasion (2, 6) with painna 7, on another (8, 54), he calls them uttaradhyayanādīni ! See above, p. 259. They appear also in connection with the painnas, embracing 50 (!) ajjh in the Vidhiprapa, where their connection with the Uttarajjhayana as matāṁtara is also referred to - $46 ditthivāyassa nam chảyālisai mãuyāpaya (mặt kāpadāni) pam (nattā) bambhie nam live chāyālisam māuarakkhā (madurakarā BC. perhaps māuakkharā ? mātṛ+akṣ°) pam. In reference to the 46 māuyāpayā of anga 12 see below. By the "lekhyavidhau 46 mātṛkākṣarāņi" of the Scriptures are according to the schol., to be understood170 a to ha, with the addition of kṣa, but with the omission of jha-la-tri (?)-um (?)la (?).171 These statements are of the most remarkable character.

170 The Paniniya sikṣā counts 63 or 64 varnas and (as is very remarkable) "both for Sanskrit and for Prakrit (!)" See Ind. Stud. 4,348,349.
171 Among the Brahmans too there is found an enumeration of the alphabet in order to form a diagram. Cf. my treatise on the Rama Tāp. Up. 1.62, p. 309. This enumeration contains 51 aksaras (16 vowels, 35 consonants), which, after deducting 5
