After p. 503, L. 17, add: Another "Mahāpurāṇa" is the *Tisaṭṭhimahāpurisaguṇālaṃkāra* in Apabhraṃśa by the poet *Pupphayanta* or *Puṣpadanta*. This Mahāpurāṇa also consists of two parts, an Ādipurāṇa in 37, and an Uttarapurāṇa in 65 Chapters. It was completed in 965 A. D. Puṣpadanta is also the author of two other Apabhraṃśa works, a *Nāgakumāracariu*, and a *Jasaharacariu* (Yaśodharacarita).¹ The subject of the latter is the life of Yaśodhara, which has also been treated in Somadeva Sūri's Yaśastilaka and Vādirāja Sūri's Yaśodharacarita.
