J. HERTEL-Uber das Tantrakhyayika. Leipzig, 1904.
In the introduction. Pp. XXIV-XXVII. Mr. HERTEL indicates the general characters of the Jains recensions of the 'Pafchatantra'. There are two principal recensions the 'textus simplicior' and the edition of Pürṇabhadra still called 'textus ornatior'. These two recenisons do not derive any common origin. The 'textus ornatior' represents a combination of the 'textus simplicior' with the Tantrakhyayika, Kashmirian Brahminical recension. Pürnabhadra was seeking indeed to re-establish the fundamental text of the 'Panchatantra'. For him, the 'Tantrakhyāyika' was nearer than all other editions of the fundamental text, from which the 'textus simplicior' deviates at the same time by the contents and the order of the narration.
