doubtful if it could be its phonetic equivalent, since an initial 9 is not changed to . In the Dhammapada, such groups of stanzas are called vargas. The Nītišataka of BhartȚhari is divided into a num'er of sections called rats. The different topical groups in the challaga HET, gufdarati and guiros para 27 also are called Frilis
6) cartrit may stand for 45Hurt (= 439-4717, toat).
7) Construe : chod Here the fù (ETC) 1 (TTA) 3 BATHTHIRU etc.
(8) The gātha has a double sense applying to 14 and 1784 The use of Sleșa (paranomasia) is quite common in the VL.
The five 191s given at the end of the commentary on gatha 8, give us a list of 48 topics in the VL. Out of these 48 topics, two viz. No. 41 (arat ant) and No. 47 (97) have no corresponding Testis in the vulgate. Three more, viz. No. 35 (Arau), No. 43 (ATBÅTIT ) and No. 44 (arofal) perhaps correspond respectively to No 47 ((fe 4781920), No. 57 (TIÅRET) and No. 58 (Effui ferment), but that is not certain. The following 11 quiis appear in the HEFTR list with slightly varying names: STERK list Vulgate TIETER list Vulgate (4) figa (5) FFT (21) 444 (40) 370197 (9) atiu (43) gafii (23) 205 (64) fear (11) 34 (30) 773 (26) furent (32) 47 (12) dicit (55) fa (32) 12 (39) ATE (16) fafafea (51) szfah (42) 7910714 (42) fūzig772 (20) 6 (62) and
Thus out of the 18 9951s enlisted in the IETEIT stanzas, 43 can be clearly identified with those in the vulgate. Two (viz. arahil No. 41 and 77 No. 47) have no corresponding 777|s in the valgate. Three (viz. Arriaro No. 35, arautzan No. 43 and atomer No. 44) are doubtful in their identification. The remaining 47 7551s in the vulgate are not at all mentioned in the IERR stanzas. If the recension on which the 776 177T stanzas are based contained only 48 79=11s and 700 stanzas as stated in the last TETETT stanza, it follows that the average length of each of must have been about 15 stanzas. At present we have in the vulgate 95 qols and 788 stanzas (leaving out the five prologue stanzas and the two epilogue stanzas), the average length of each 9571 being about
