atthanäme a similar account of the eight cases (vibhatti), under navanāme of the nine poetical (kayva.) rasas. Each of the latter is illustrated by a corresponding gātha. See Ind. Stud. XVI, 154-58.
The following countries are enumerated under the head of a subspecies of dasanäme, the khettasaṁjoga :- Māgahae, Mälavae, Sorasthae Marahatthae, Kurkanae, Kosalae. If the first two of these names recall (31] the pre-eminent position occupied by Magadha and Mälava at one time in India - see Ind. Streifen 1, 309, 344, the two following names 866 refer par excellence to Jainism. That the list is limited to these six names, whereas in anga 5 it embraced 16 and 251 in upanga 4, is a feature of significance which is probably based upon genuine knowledge of the facts. The list in anga 5 and in upanga 4 has no securer a foundation than that of a stereotyped literary tradition,
In another of these subdivisions, the havaņăpamäņe, which contains a discussion of the seven kinds of formation of names, we find an enumeration of the 28 nakkhattas, still beginning with kyttikā, though with their secondary titles (pussa, jețțhā, mūla, savara, dhanitha, bhaddavaya). Cf. Ind. Stud. X 285, 16, 268, 415. The patronymic formation of eight different names, one for each born under a definite naksatra, is here specially treated of and also the names, in : dinna, dhamma, samma, (sarman), deva, dása, sena, rakkhia, 967 thus, e.g,, kattia, kattidinna (kitti°), kattidhamma, kattisamma etc. Furthermore the patronymics from the names of each of their 28 divinities; 988 thus aggie, aggidinne, aggidhamme etc. All this proves eo ipso that this kind of names was very popular at the date of the composition of the text itself, or rather at the date of its sources.
This is for the latter a [32] factor of synchronistical importance (see p. 40) since these naksatra names appear to have been exceedingly popular at the period of the grhyasutra, and even of Pāņini. See my treatise on the naksatra 2,317 fg. As examples of patronymic kulanames Ikkhåge (Aik svāka), Näye (thc kulam of Mahavira) and Korayve are cited. The following appear as påsanda in the same connection :samane pandaraṁge, bhikkū kāvālie, tåvase and parivváyāe, s, Bhag. 2, 213". The scholiast explains bhikkhū by Buddhadarśanaśritaḥ and on
966 On Soratthāe cf. Kalpas, Therāv. 9. 957 The names in obhūti cf. Inhdao, Aggi,o Väyuo, are omitted strangely enough. 968 ahibudhnya appears here as vivaddhi (!), cf. vividdhi in anga 3 (p. 268); both
are forms which are much more corrupted than the abhivaddhi (vuddhi) of the Suryaprajñapti, seo Ind. Stud. 10, 295.
