intro.18

Yet another version among the Nepalese Sanskrit manuscripts is the Ujjvālikādāna­kathā, the seventeenth story in the post-canonical Dvā­viṃśatyavadāna collection. It shares narrative elements with the Mahā­sāhasra­pramardanī, and the verses that are recited in Vaiśālī by five hundred bhikṣus headed by Ānanda contain phrases similar to the prose rakṣa of the mahāsūtra as well as verses identical to some in the Mahā­mantrānu­sāriṇī.
