² The poem was discovered by *Haraprasāda Śāstrī*, and was also edited by him, Bibl. Ind., Calcutta 1910. A new critical edition, with notes, by *E. H. Johnston*, has just been published in the Punjab University Oriental Publications, Oxford University Press, London, 1928. *Cf. Haraprasāda Śāstrī* in JASB 5, 1909, p. 165 f.; *F. W. Thomas* in JRAS 1911, p. 1125 f.; *A. Baston* in JA 1912, s. 10, t. XIX, p. 79 ff.; *La Vallée Poussin* in BSOS 1918, p. 133 ff.; *A. Gawroński*, Studies about the Sanskrit Buddhist Literature, Krakow 1919, p. 56 ff.; Notes on the Saundarānanda, Critical and Explanatory, Second Series (Prace Komisji Orjental. Polskiej Akad. Um. Nr. 6.) W Krakowie 1922; *E. Hultzsch* in ZDMG 72, 1918, p. 111 ff.; 73, 229 ff.; 74, 293 ff.; *C. W. Gurner* in JRAS 1923, p. 131 f. From the concluding verses we may perhaps (with *Hultzsch*, ZDMG 72, 121 f.) assume that Aśvaghoṣa wrote the Saundarānanda first and the Buddha-Carita afterwards.
