page 756 note 1 Fick's dictum in his review of this work (ZDMG. Ixv, 839), “bei den Pariśiṣṭas griechischer Einfluss ausgesehlossen ist,” is, of course, too light-hearted, and is not really intended; cf. Yavana in 1, 2. 4; li, 1. 3; 3. 3; lvi, 1. 5; lvii, 2. 5; and the Roman dīnīra in xxxvi, 26. 3. He is more nearly correct in connecting the texts on omens with the Purāṇas, and this might help if we could accept the view of MrPargiter, (JRAS. 1912, pp. 254, 255)Google Scholar that the occurrence in inscriptions of certain verses which are found in the Padma, Bhaviṣya, and Brahma Purāṇas affords evidence for the early dating of these Purāṇas. But the only conclusion which the data presented by Mr. Pargiter admit of is that there were current in India various verses regarding the gift of land, and that these are found in inscriptions and Purāṇas. That the Purāṇas did not borrow from any particular inscription is doubtless true, but why should we assume that the inscriptions borrowed from these Purāṇas? A common ancestry for both is obviously to be found in earlier Śāstras, not now extant, and no conclusion can be deduced for the date of the Purāṇas from these verses. To obviate misunderstanding I may say that I quite agree with Mr. Pargiter in not thinking the Purāṇas very modern; cf. my Bodleian Catalogue, Appendix to vol. i, p. 7.

page 768 note 1 The counting makes no claim to absolute accuracy; moreover, in some cases the text is certainly doubtful.
page 769 note 1 It is noteworthy that in xxxvi, 26. 3, the term māṇḍaliko rājā is found, a clear sign of lateness; māṇḍalika occurs also in lxxic, 31. 4.
page 769 note 2 The theory that careless writing explains irregular metre is seldom applicable: in the Kathāsaritsāgara, which is certainly written in decadent Sanskrit, the metre is stiffly regular as a rule; e.g. in sixty-five verses from Taraṅga viii only three irregularities (two third and a first Vipulās) are found.

page 772 note 1 Probably only seven; 32. 1 is a doubtful reading: the MSS. favour pṛadakṣiṇam.
