haps a removal of the original. At the conclusion of udd. 3, which is composed in prose, we read : evam se udihu anuttaramáni anuttaradamsi anuttaranánadaṁsanadhare araha Nayaputte bhagavam Vesalie viyāhie (vyakhyātavăn) tti bemi. The scholiast illustrates Jñataputra strangely enough by Vardhamanasvāmi Rşabhasvami vã and explains Vesälie in the first case (i.e. when Jñātaputra means Vardham.) by Visala-nagaryām, in the second (i.e. when Jñatap. means Rşabha) by vaiśālikah (visalakulodbhavatvat). In any case this epithet, which is probably a nominative, is of extreme interest in this connection. Abhayadeva, too, [263] on Bhag. 2,1,12,2 explains Vaiśālika by Mahavira and in fact as a metronymicum(!): Viśāla Mahavirajanani. The Vesaliya-scīvaga appear elsewhere in the Jaina legends, but-and herein is to be found a divergence from the Buddhist legend-in a favourable light see Bhagav. 2,197,249 ; 1,440.

6. Viratthao, Mahavirastava, with 29 vv.; it begins ; "The samaņas and mähaņas, the agărins and the paratitthiyas (Sākyādayah) asked about the doctrine and life (nāņam, daṁsanam, silam) of the Nata."

10. samāhi, samadhi, with 24 vv.; it concludes : no jūviam ņo maraņā 'bhikaṁkhi carejja bhikkhū valagā vimukko tti bemi; in place of valagā we find in 12,22, 13,23, where the same conclusion recurs : valaya, and
