Videhe rāyā Rāme Bale 'ti ya. After this follows an enumeration of the works of Brabmanical literature which is identical in every particular with that in the fifth anga685. See above p. 304.
The sage Ambada, 686 who is enumerated among the 8 mähaņaparivāyās, must have played no unimportant role in the opinion of his Jain colleagues or enemies, either at the time of the composition of this upārga or at that of those who interpolated the statements in reference to bim. There have been inserted two detailed legends concerning him, the first of which deals especially with his (380) scholars,687 the second with himself, with his second birth in the person of the boy Dadhapainna, and with his final perfection. Here occurs an enumeration of the ($107), 72 kalas, which are in fact essentially the same as those in anga 3, and ($ 105) of the foreign peoples from whom the female attendants of the boy (as in anga 6) came. These names are in general identical with those enumerated in angas 5 and 6, and are also mentioned in a previous passage ( 53) where the maid-servants of the queen are treated of. The list is as follows - bahūhim khujjahim Ciläihim vāmaņihiṁ vadabhīhiṁ Babbarihiṁ Paü siyahiṁ (baiio) Joniyāhiń Palhaviyahiṁ Isiniyāhis Cāruiniyāhim (Varu Thāru) Lāsiyāhim Laü siyahiṁ Damilihim Simhalihim Ārabihiń Pullmdihim Pakkanihiń Bahalihim Marurdihiṁ Sabarihim Pārasihim nānādesihir.

the name of the old Nārada to remain unaltered. Some MSS. have even Närabhe. 684 var. Masino, Masam", Masaho, also "häre. The Maşņāra name of a country in
the Ait. Br. may perhaps be compared. 685 sadamgavi is here too explained by: şadamgavidaḥ and satthitamtavisäraā by :
