Edition of abstract narrations from the cūrni of the Avaśyaka and of the ţika of Haribhadra on the same treatise. The commentary of Haribhadra constitute the fundamental text. What the cürni offer more or less is indicated in a special manner. Some parallel passages are, besides, borrowed of the 'Višeşãoaśyakațika' of Šilānka. This edition is incomplete. A final note indicates the reasons for which it has been interrupted.

G. BÜHLER-A Legend of the Jaina Stūpa at Mathura. Wien, 1897 (Sitzungsberichte der phil. hist. Classe der Kais. Akademie der Wissenschaften).
Remarks on the antiquity of the Jainism. A proof in favour of this antiquity is furnished by an inscription of the year 79 of the Indo-scythian era (about the middle of the 2nd century A.D.). The siūpa of Mathura, it is said, should have been 'constructed by the two 'thupe devanirmite'. At this period their, the origin of the stūpa was so remote that it was lost in the legend. Some information relating to this legend are contained in the 'Tirthakalpa of Jinaprabha. Translation of the passages of this work concerning the stupa of Mathura, and historical notes. (The same account is reproduced in the I.A, Vol. XXVII, Pp. 49-54).
