atthaname a similar account of the eight cases (vibhatti), under navaname of the nine poetical (kavva ) rasas. Each of the latter is illustrated by a corresponding gātha. See Ind. Stud. XVI, 154-58.
The following countries are enumerated under the head of a subspecies of dasaname, the khettasamjoga :- Māgahae, Mälavae, Soratthae Marahatphae, Kurkanae, Kosalae. If the first two of these names recall (31) the pre-eminent position occupied by Magadha and Malava at one time in India - see Ind. Streifen 1, 309, 344,- the two following names 966 refer par excellence to Jainism. That the list is limited to these six names, whereas in anga 5 it embraced 16 and 251 in upånga 4, is a feature of significance which is probably based upon genuine knowledge of the facts. The list in anga 5 and in upanga 4 has no securer a foundation than that of a stereotyped literary tradition.
In another of these subdivisions, the țhavaņā pamāņe, which contains a discussion of the seven kinds of formation of names, we find an enumeration of the 28 nakkhattas, still beginning with krttikā, though with their secondary titles (pussa, jețhā, mūla, savana, dhanițsha, bhaddavaya). Cf. Ind. Stud. X. 285, 16, 268, 415. The patronymic formation of eight different pames, one for each born under a definite naksatra, is here specially treated of and also the names, in : dinna, dhamma, samma, (farman), deva, dása, sena, rakkhia,867 thus, e.g,, kattia, kattidinna (kitti°), kattidhamma, kattisamma etc. Furthermore the patronymics from the names of each of their 28 divinities; 668 thus aggie, aggidinne, aggidhamme etc. All this proves eo ipso that this kind of names was very popular at the date of the composition of the text itself, or rather at the date of its sources,
This is for the latter a [32] factor of synchronisticalim portance (see p. 40) since these nakşatra names appear to have beeexceedingly popular at the period of the grhyasūtra, and even of Pāṇini. See my treatise on the naksatra 2,317 fg. As examples of patronymic kulanames Ikkhage (Aikşvāka), Naye (the kulam of Mahāvira) and Korayve are cited. The following appear as påsanda in the same connection :samaņe parndarange, bhikkū kāvālie, tavase and parivvāyāe, s, Bhag. 2, 213". The scholiast explains bhikkhū by Buddhadarśanaśritaḥ and on
966 On Soraffhāe cf. Kalpas, Theräv. 9. 967 The names in bhuti cf. Indao, Aggi, Vāyu', are omitted strangely enough. 968 ahibudhnya appears here as vivaddhi (!), cf. vividdhi ip anga 3 (p. 268); both
are forms which are much more corrupted than the abhivaddhi (vuddhi) of the Suryaprajnapti, sec Ind. Stud, 10, 295.
