Dismissing such calculations as mere child's play, let us examine the actual state of things. In the first place the titles of the 19 ajjhayaṇas of part 1 are enumerated at the outset (see page 307), and are found singly in Avaśy, 16,82.83 (Av.) and in the Vidhiprapā (V.)272 They are as follows:
1. Ukkhittaṇāe, Utkṣiptam: the "raised" but not replaced foot of an elephant, the first birth of prince Megha, whose history is here related ab ovo (pregnancy of his mother, birth of the child, education, marriage, instruction at the hands of Mahavira). See Paul Steinthal : "Specimen der Nayadhammakaha," Leipzig, 1881.273 The contents are said by Abh. to be anucitapravṛttikasya siṣyasyo-pālambhaḥ.
