⁴ Fragments of the Udānavarga, from finds in Central Asia, have been published by *R. Pischel*, Die Turfan-Rezensionen des Dhammapada, SBA 1908, p. 968 ff.; *S. Lévi* and *La Vallée Poussin* in JA s. 10, t. XVI, 1910, p. 444 ff.; t. XVII, 1911, 431 ff.; t. XIX, 1912, p. 311 ff.; *JRAS* 1911, p. 758 ff ; 1912. p. 355 ff. The Tibetan version of the Udānavarga has been translated into English by W. W. *Rockhill*, London 1883, and the Tibetan text was published by H. *Beckh*, Berlin 1911. Cf. A. *Schiefnen* Über Vasubandhus Gāthāsaṃgraha, in Mélanges Asiatiques VIII (Bulletin XXV, 1878), pp. 559 f., 590 ff.; *La Vallée Poussin* in GGA 1912, 191 f.; *Lüders* in SBA 1914, p. 102; and *Seidenstücker*, Das Udāna, I, 1913, pp. 37, 71 ff. A voluminous anthology, about five times as large as the Pāli Dhammapada, is the *Dharmasamuccaya* by Avalokitasimha, who has also drawn from Mahāyāna sources; on a MS. of this work, found in Nepal, see Dharma Aditya *Dharmācārya* in Ind. Hist. Qu. 1, 1925, 422 ff., 677 ff. [^1): ¹) The old Kharoṣṭhī manuscript, important from the points of view both of language and palaeography, has been edited by *Senart* in JA s. 9, t. XII, 1898, pp. 193 ff., 515 ff. This edition was the foundation for the new edition by Benimadhab *Barua* and Sailendranath *Mitra*, Calcutta 1921. The fragments found by *Petroffsky* were identified by S. *d'Oldenburg*, St. Petersburg 1907. On the "MS. Dutreuil de Rhins," cf. Comptes rendus de l'académie des inscriptions, 14. mai 1895 et 15. avril 1898; *Senart*, OC XI Paris 1897, I, 1 ff.; G. *Bühler*, On the Origin of the Indian Brahma Alphabet, 2nd Ed., Strassburg 1898, p. 122 ff.; *Lüders* in NGGW 1899, p. 474 ff.; T. W. *Rhys Davids* in JRAS 1899, p. 426 ff.; R. O. *Franke* in ZDMG 60, 1906, p. 477 ff.; M. A. *Stein*, Ancient Khotan, Oxford 1907, I, 188; Jules *Bloch*, JA ser. 10, t. XIX, 1912, p. 331 ff.; *Konow* (Festschrift Windisch, p. 85 ff.) is of opinion that, though this anthology is composed in a dialect originating in the North-west of India, it was written in the neighbourhood of Khotan. Like *Bühler* (l.c.) he ascribes it to the 1st century A.D., whilst *Lüders* (SBA 1914, p. 101) thinks it was written in the 3rd century A.D. It is probably the earliest Indian manuscript which has been discovered so far.
