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). - [Previous: v2.c19.s6.t3.207](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.207) - [Next: v2.c19.s6.t4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.1) - [Up: v2.c19.s6.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3) ## Cites (1) - [Mahāvastu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.buddhacarita-works.mahavastu) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.208](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t3.208) · Pramāṇa
