SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS
chief cities, and lastly an enumeration of 18 manners of writing. All this possesses some chronological value which would be more apparent if the names had not been so corruptly handed down to us. Malaygiri offers us no assistance in the case of the first and third enumeration.
In the list of the Milikkhas (Milakkhas) the names are frequently the same as those cited, p. 332 from anga 10, and are arranged in the same order of succession. Various differences of detail are, however, not wanting, and in fact the names here make a less favourable impression upon us and seem to be of less antiquity724. They are :725 Saga [397] Javana. Cilāya Savara Pappara (Babbara BC) Kaya (only ya BC) Muruído 'dda (ddha C) Bhadaga. Ninnaga Pakkaniya Kulakkha Korda726 (Goṁda C) Sihara (Sihala) Pārasa Godhova (Gadhodařba B, Gadhai C) Damila Vilala (Villana B) (Cillala C) Pulimda Härosä Doṁva (Tova B, Doca C) Botthakāna (Vokkāna BC) Gardhahärava (Charaga B) Pahaliliya (Bahayaliya B, Pahaliya C) Ayyala Rāma Pāsa Paüsă Nalaya (Navaya C) ya Bardhuyā ya Suyali korkana gă Meya (Mopamya B) Palhava Mālava Maggari (ora BC) Abhāsiyā Nakvavīņā (Kaņavira B) Lhasiya (Lhā° B) Khagga (Kkhasa B) Ghasija (Khāsiya B) Noha (Nedū B, Naddu C) Ramadha2? ('tha B) Dombilaga (Do°C) Lausa (osa C) Paosa Kvokvatā (! Kakkveyā B, Kakveya C) Arakāga (Aravaga BC) Hūņa Romaga Bharu Maruya Visalāpavāsi (Cilāyavisavāsi ya B, Vilāyavisayavāsi ya C) evamādi, se 'ttar Milakkha.
The äriyas are divided into nine groups, the first of which is formed by the Khettāriya, and is in gătha form. It is as foHows :
Rāyagiha Magaha, Campā Asgā taha, Tāmalitti Vamga ya/Kāṁcanapuram Kalimgā, Bānārasi (!) ceva Kāsi ya //
724 The Cina have disappeared or their name is concealed under that of another people
The name of the Arava has received another form - Aravāya--and its position has
been changed. 125 Malayagiri has merely: sakadeśanivāsinah Sakāh, Yavandeśanivāsino Yavanāḥ
evam sarvatra, navaram ami nānādeśā lokato vijñeyāḥ. The names are found partly in the thematic form and partly in the Nom. Plur.-In Nemicandra's pravacanasāroddkāra $ 274 v. 1594-7 we find 38 names, among which only 20 agree with those given here, and there are important variations. His enumeration de cked out in a modern dress is as follows:--Saga Javana Savara Vavvara Kaya (Kāyāh) Marundo 'dda (Murumdaḥ Udrāh) Goda Pakkanaya | Aravāga (Aukhäga c. Aksägāh !) Huna Romaya. Parasa Khasa Khasiya ceva // 94 // Duñvilaya Lausa (Lakuśāh) Bhokkasa Bhillimdha (Bhillā Andhrah) Pulinda Kumca Bha. mararuya (!! Bhramararucah) I Kovāya (Korpakah) Cina Camcuya (Cināḥ Cancukah) Malaya Damila (Dravidān) Kulagghā (Kulärghāh !) ya 119511 Kokaya Kiraya Hayamuha Kharamuha Gaya-Turaya-Mindhayamuha (Mindhakamukhāh) ya / Hayakanna Gayakannä anne vi anāriya bahave / 96/). It is of interest that
the name Aravāga has been completely misunderstood. 126 B. omits. 127 An acceptable reading instead of Marahattha (1) in anga 10.
