Jinaratna has aimed at confining himself to the narrative proper and so he must have omitted many citations which NL. contained in all like. lihood. Even so we find a few citations as at II 62, 90, V 74b, 182b, 275276, VII 107, XI 220-221,231,236 (all in Sanskrit) and at IV 79,338, between VII 96 and VII 97, X 156 (all in Prakrit).
Jinaratna's bandling of the linguistic medium is admirable. He never seems at a loss for appropriate experessions. He manages to deal with nurmerous characters and so many diverse situations smoothly, effectively and graphically.
