The History of Indian Literature c9.68

c9.68

∗ It is alleged to be taken from the Vikrama-charitra; but Roth, in his analysis of this work in the *Journ. Asiat.*, Octob. 1845, p. 278 ff., says nothing of it. [And in fact it occurs neither there nor in any of the other recensions of the Siṅhásana-dvátriṅśiká to which I have access. It is, however, found embodied both in the Jyotirvid-ábharaṇa, of about the sixteenth century (22. 10, see *Z. D. M. G.*, xxii. 723, 1868), and in a Singhalese MS. of the so-called Navaratna (with Singhalese commentary) cited in *Westergaard's Catal. Codd. Or. Bibl. Reg. Haun.*, p. 14 (1846).]
