^286:1 Some spell this name Manditaputra; he and Mauryaputra were sons of the same mother, Vigayadevi, but different fathers; the former of Dhanadeva, the other of Maurya. I do not know any legend which connects this Maurya with a king of the Maurya dynasty, which besides would be impossible from a chronological point of view.

^287:1 The sum total of Sramanas is therefore 4711, while in section 134 it is stated to have been 14,000.

^287:2 I only give the facts. The names of those Sthaviras who continue the line are spaced. The names are given in their Sanskrit form which in many cases is well known, in others can easily be made out. In doubtful cases I have put the Prakrit form in brackets.

^288:1 He is left out in some MSS.

^288:2 It is not quite clear what is meant by Gana, Kula, and Sakha. Gana designates the school which is derived from one teacher; Kula the succession of teachers in one line; Sakha the lines which branch off from each teacher. These terms seem to be disused in modern times, for the four principal divisions called after Nagendra, Kandra, Nivritti, and Vidyadhara are generally called Kulas, but also occasionally Sakhas. They go back to Vagra according to some, to Vagrasena according to others. The modern Gakkha appears equivalent with the ancient Gana.

^289:1 Tisabhadda, translated Tridasabhadra.

^289:2 Or Sumanabhadra.

^289:3 Or Purnibhadra.

^290:1 Suhastin is said to have converted Samprati, grandson and successor of Asoka. The correctness of this statement is open to doubt; but at any rate Suhastin must have been one of the most important patriarchs, for under and immediately after him the spread of Gainism must have been uncommonly vigorous, as is proved by the great number of Kulas and Sakhas at that time.

^294:1 A various reading has Getthila = Gyeshtha.

^294:2 This list in prose from 17 down to 33 is wanting in some MSS. I think that Sandilya is the same as Skandila, who was president of the council of Mathura, which seems to have been the rival of that in Valabhi; see notes to my edition of the Kalpa Sutra, p. 117.

It deserves to be noticed that the gotra of Sandilya is not given, while that of the remaining Sthaviras is specialised. This seems to prove that his name is a later addition to the list.

After the prose list all MSS. have eight gathas, in which the names 16-32, given above, are repeated. Instead of translating these verses, which contain little more than a string of names, I only note down the differences from the above list. After 18 is added Durgaya Krishna, a Kautika; Nakshatra is shortened, metri causa, to Nakkha; the gotra of Sanghapalita is Kasyapa instead of Gautama; after 30 are inserted Hasta of the Kasyapa gotra and Dharma.
