† This portion has been used by a Buddhist (Aśvaghosha), almost literally, against the system of caste in general, in the tract of the same title which is given by Gildemeister, *Bibl. S.*, Praef. p. vi. not. ; see also Burnouf, *Introd. à l'Hist. du Buddh. Ind.*, p. 215. [Text and translation see now in my essay *Die Vajrasúchí des Aśvaghosha* (1860).
