________________ Appendices I. Note on Leumann's transliteration Leumann transliterates in a different manner vowels which are long by nature (noted, as usual, as ā, ī, u, e, o) and vowels which are the result of a contraction coming from sandhi (noted as â, î, û, ê, ô; e.g. käyôtsarga). This distinction, which was often observed in early, especially German, indology, has now mostly gone out of use. Moreover, in agreement with phonological analysis of Sanskrit and Prakrit, Leumann (and his school, Walther Schubring, for instance) never write "n" or "ñ" for the guttural and the palatal nasals respectively. They write only "n". The reason is that before a guttural a nasal can only be guttural, before a palatal it can only be palatal. Hence there is no need to use a specific sign to mark them. Only the cerebral nasal is marked as "n". Leumann explains this innovation ("Neuerung") in the Postface (p. 164) to his edition of the Aupapātika Sūtra (Leipzig, 1883). This system has been retained throughout the present volume. Introductory essay and tools by Nalini Balbir II.
