III. Now we see about the sequence of events in the Up, and in the Cc. The order in which the episodes are narrated and the sequence of events in them are more or less the same in both books, except in some places, which are discussed below. 1. The story of Gandhotkața and the ascetic Silagupta In the Cc. Kantakkatan is introduced for the first time in the cemetery where queen Vicayai gives birth to her son. But in the Up. Gandhotkața is introduced before this event. Gandhotkața goes to an asectic called Silagupta and asks him whether he will have any sons who will live long. The ascetic predicts that he will have a son who will live long and rule the whole earth.1 The story is narratred in the Cc. in the Kuņamālaiyār ilampakama in the context where the king Kattiyankaran decides to kill Civakan for controlling the state elephant. In this place, Kantukkatan asks his wife not to worry and to believe in thprediction of the ascetic about the life of Civakan. Here the prediction of the ascetic has been narrated in two different places in the two books. 2. Civakan coming to know about his parents In the Up. Jivandhara comes to know about his parents through the celestial being (khecara) who is guarding a lake.3 The celestial tells him all about his previous birth and abjut his parents for the first time. 4 This incident of meeting the khecara takes place after Jivandhara's marriage with Hemābha and before his meeting his mother. This incident is not found in the Cc., and the information about his parents is given to Civakan by his teacher Accaņunti.Civakan promises Accaņanti that he will not fight with his enemy Kattiyankāran within a year.
