Vyuṣitāśva of Ayodhyā is Dhyuṣitāśva in the Vāyu; Suvarman of Dvimīḍha’s line in the Vāyu is Sudharman in the Matsya and Harivaṃśa; and in the Videha line Pratīndhaka of the Rāmāyaṇa is Pratinvaka in the Vāyu and Pratimbaka in the Brahmāṇḍa; and the Bhāgavata by a double misreading transforms Tridhanvan of Ayodhyā into Tribandhana. Similarly Ārādhi of the Paurava line in the Vāyu is Ārāvin in the Viṣṇu; and by a further easy misreading of \*r\* as \*v\* in the later script Ārādhi becomes Āvādhīta in the Garuḍa, and by a second easy mistake between \*v\* and \*c\* Ārāvin appears as Avācīna in the Mahābhārata (i, 95, 3771). Some of these changes seem to be due to a desire to emend a name so as to make it intelligible. - [Previous: c16.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c16.16) - [Next: c16.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c16.18) - [Up: c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c16) ## Cites (9) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahmanda) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Matsyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Garuḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.garuda) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Harivaṃśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.harivamsa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c16.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c16.17) · Pramāṇa
