² Thus the Padmāvatī-Avadāna (No. 68) corresponds to the stories, familiar from the Pāli commentaries, of Padmāvatī, under whose feet lotus blossoms spring forth, and the Ekaśṛṅga-Avadāna (No. 65) corresponds to the Ṛṣyaśṛṅga legend which is so well known to us. Both are to be found also in the Mahāvastu, and *Lüders* (NGGW 1901, p. 26) shows that Kṣemendra recast the Ṛṣyaśṛṅga-legend on the model of the Mahāvastu. The Avadāna of Kṣemendra has been rendered in German verse by Hermann *Francke* (Ekasringa Prinz Einhorn, Leipzig, 1901).
