________________ 240 : Prof. Walther Schubring For want of clues we canot linger with Pupphasalaputta (5), Ketaliputta (8), Vidu (17) Gahavaiputta taruna (21) Harigiri (24), Matanga (26), and Vau Sacca-samjutta (30). On the other hand, some of the aforementioned ones are known to us from Jaina literature : Bahuya (14), and Divayana (40) we find mentioned in Suyagada 1, 3, 4, 2, the latter with Ambada (26) in Uvavaiya 76 and most exhaustively in the legend of the end of Dvaravati (Jacobi ZDMG 42,493 ff.); Angarisi Bharaddaya (4) is according to Thana 390 a, divided into two sub-gotras of the Goyama (Gautama), named Bhardda and Angirasa, a further one is ibidem, Varisakana, to whom here the Rsi Varisavakanha (18) corresponds ; one wonders whether both forms are not rather based on Varsagana ? Tarayana (36) at last is called Taragana is Suy. 1,3,4, 2, but by Silanka ibid. Narayana Ramagutta, who appears in the same place, is probably the same as Ramaputta (23). While, with the Jainas these Rsis appear only by names, others are the main figures in the stories named after them. For Jogamdharayana, it it true, this can only be inferred from a statement in the Abhidhanarajendra, according to which he occurs in the Avassayacunni, which is not accessible. Deva Naraya (1) makes us think of the Devarsi Narada of the epic, but we are in fact rather concerned with Prince Naraya of Baravai. Vasudeva questions him, this is reported by Yasodeva his Paksikasutratika(Pakkhiya edition 67 a/b) as a Vrddhasampradaya by which perhaps likewise the Avassayacunni is meant : "kim soyam (i.e. saucam) ?" Reply : saccam (satyam) soyam. Question: "kim saccam ?" Naraya, who cannot give information (already the previous question had to be answered by a Tirthamkara), obtains, by meditation, remembrance of former existence, and becomes sambuddha, padhamam ajjhayanam "soyavvam eva" ice-aiyam vadati evam sesani". The same story is Sanskrit Slokas Rsimandalavrtti 47 a (Berlin MS.1912) on the basis of Isimandala st. 43f. (cp. Weber II 948), where Naraya is called kacchullas with the conclusion:
