It is evideut that in LPS this part of the prubandha is only the starting point of the background for the main story that follows, PC, however, is actually describing the incident.
The second part of the prabandha contains the story of the brothers Khimadhara and Devadhara who later on became known as the magicians Gianya an: N:1ņa ya. The latter portion of this part is met with in Piratana-prabanlia sangrucha as passage no. 70 (p. 36). Comprising only two lines and a liall, it gives a very brief account, as under:
TUTATOTT

It is evident that the PPS version is only a brief suinmary, not necessarily of the story as presented in our text, but, may be of some oral version of the saine. It is taken from coclex G which, as already observed, contains only brief jottings from earlier accounts, written or oral, compiled after 1351 A.I).
*. KOMARI-RĀVĀ PRADANDHA
The matter of this rubundha is not tracel in any otcr Prabandha.work in any form. The story, as it appears in our lext, is, beyond doubt, an interesting folk-tale.
1. SRIMĀTA-PRAHANDHA
This prabantha is traced in some other praband -works also. The story may le divided into two parts: (1) the story of king Lakhanasena and his minister Umipat is ridhara, and (2) the story of king Ratnaputija and his daughter Srimå til. In some versions the part only is found, in some others the two parts form the matter of two separate probandhas. The story of this prabandha occurs in the following works:
(1) Prabandhuintimari of Merutuligasūri ( 1305 A 1).): Passages
