∗ They have been edited by Stenzler, text with translation [and repeatedly in India since, with or without the commentary of Mallinátha. To the seven books of the Kumára-sambhava, which were the only ones previously known, ten others have recently been added; on the critical questions connected with these, see, *e.g.*, *Z. D. M. G.*, xxvii. 174–182 (1873). From the astrological data contained in both works, H. Jacobi has shown, in the *Monatsber. der Berl. Acad.*, 1873, p. 556, that the date of their composition cannot be placed earlier than about the middle of the 4th century A.D. The Raghu-vaṅśa was most probably composed in honour of a Bhoja prince; see my *Essay on the Rám. Táp. Up.*, p. 279, *I. Str.*, i. 312].
