*Nāga marriage and Kalyāṇavarman’s marriage* (pp. 113, 118): The marriage of Kalyāṇavarman was peculiar in that the young king did not go to Mathurā for his marriage; on the other hand the bride was brought to Pāṭaliputra. This custom of bringing the girl by her parent’s party to the bridegroom’s house for marriage was a Nāga custom, which has been brought out by Mr. Hira Lal Jain in his edition of the Jaina text the *Nāya* [= *Nāga*]-*Kumāra-chariu* of Pushpadanta, Karanja Series, 1933 (p. xxvii).
