369a 869 a. Compare 'रक्ताम्बरा भूषणभक्ष्यचित्ता कुम्भाकृतिर्वाजिमुखी तृषार्ता। एकेन पादेन च मेषमध्ये द्रेष्काणरूपं यवनोपदिष्टम्॥' (बृहज्जा. 27 2) with 'स्त्रीचञ्चलो विहारी रतिमान् भीतप्रियो मनस्वी स्यात्। निश्शार्थभाक् सुरूप. स्त्रीचित्तरुचिर्द्वितीये च ॥' सारावली 49. 2. In the Nepal ms of यवनजातक the नेपद्वितीयद्रेष्काण is described as follows: गौरः प्रहारी रिपुदारुणाक्षः शुक्लाम्बरो वारणतुल्यमूर्द्धा । बस्तायुधा (?) धातुदसार्थविच्च मेषे द्वितीयो गुरुलोनशाङ्कः॥ folio 9 This indicates that the यवनजातक had a third tradition about द्वेष्काणs. It is expressly stated that the three parts of a rāśi are known among the Yavanas as dreskānas 'पद्भ्वंगणा (?) राशितृतीथभागा द्वेष्काणसंज्ञा यवनाख्यया ये। folio 9.
