Sharma, 1968: 221), Subandhu’s Vāsavadattā (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 243), and Bāṇa's works (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 247). It is also found in the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa (MW). 468 AVI 165. P.V. Sharma refers to the literary evidence of, for example, the Caturbhāṇī, in particular the Pādatāḍitaka. 469 The kathakacāraṇasaṅgha is mentioned at A.s.Ci.9.90 (see AVI 165); Agravāla had brought forward that the term occurs for the first time in Bāṇa, but the Saṃgraha may be somewhat earlier (P.V. Sharma, 1968: 215, 262). 470 A.s.U.50.106 mentions a pādalepa. See AVI 163. Magical pādalepas are, however, not unknown to Hindu traditions; see H. Brunner-Lachaux (1977): 44, 46.
