progression by 84's and not by 10's. Cf. Bhagav. 1,427 above, pp. 268, 411, 412. In the case of the ukkittananuo we find an enumeration of the 24 Jinas,
Under nāmaṁ we find all manner of linguistic, grammatical and other statements, Immediate dependence upon Sanskrit literature is here very clear; thus e.g. as examples of monosyllables are cited the following four- hriḥ śrih dhiḥ stri (sic) in the Sanskrit form, manifestly because they (cf. Pingala's chandas 1,12 Ind. Stud. VIII, 217, 218) are used in Sanskrit grammar as customary (mūrdhābhişikta) examples. The same fondness for Sanskrit may be observed in the metrical rules concerning gender, statements in reference to the finals of nouns, (ā, i, u, o and aṁ, is, uṁ), saṁdhi (agama, lova, pagadi i.e. praksti, and vikāra) and the five classes of words. For some of the names of these classes (e.g. nämikam, naipātikam, åkhyātikam aupasargikam, miśram) and the examples 963 of others, the Sanskrit is used. The sacred author makes, ludicrously enough, [30] a wilful error of a slight character. He cites, besides, other examples of samdhi; vadhū ūhate vadhūhate, but Sanskrit has no nominative or rather no form vadhu. The nomin. is vadhús.
In mentioning a subspecies of Chaname (şan") the twelve aṁgas are again enumerated in detail (anga 5 again as vivāhapannati), and the navapuvvadhara jāva coddasapuvvadhara mentioned (see Bhag. 2, 318). Under the head of all manner of aerial and heavenly phenomena the eclipses of the moon and sun are referred to.964
Under the head of Sattanāme we find a very thorough-going account of the seven syara',965 interwoven with all sorts of gathās : under
