(f) must be due to an error or a later interpolation, for he failed to find it in a dozen MSS he examined and in eds. h and j. 836 Compare B.N. Singh (1981). 837 See on Madanapāla and Viśveśvara Bhaṭṭa: Kane I.2, 792–804; H.A. Mehendale and A.D. Pusalker (1980): 478. 838 CC I, 425; II, 97 and 216; III, 92. Kane I.2, 792–794. H.A. Mehendale and A.D. Pusalker (1980): 478. *Vr̥ddhatrayī* 469. 839 See: *Madanamāhārṇava*. 840 See Cat. BHU Nrs. 104 and 122; P.V. Sharma's Foreword to Bhagwan Dash (1994). 841 Reconstructed from a number of MSS in Cat. IO Nr. 2745. The printed text has a shorter, incomplete version. The genealogy is also found in the introduction of the *Smṛtikaumudī*, said to be composed by Madanapāla (CC I, 425 and 746; II, 97 and 179; III, 154; Kane I.2, 798; H.A. Mehendale and A.D. Pusalker, 1980: 478). Compare Kane I.2, 200, n.1215. 842 Omitted by Aufrecht in his CC (I, 425), where Madanapāla is said to be a son of Hariścandra; the same omission is found in a MS of the *Tithinirṇayasāra*, ascribed to Madanapāla (see P.K. Gode, 1944–45). The name of Madanapāla's father is Sahāraṇa, a Prakrit equivalent of Sādhāraṇa, in the *Sūryasiddhāntaviveka*, attributed to Madanapāla (CC: not recorded; see Kane I.2, 801 and STMI 328). Compare on Madanapāla's genealogy the introductory verses of the *Mahārṇava* and *Madanapārijāta*. 843 Bharanapāla in the printed text and in AVI (389); he is called Laharapāla in the *Mahārṇava*. Bhagwan Dash (1994: Preface VII), for some unknown reason, refers to him as Dharmapāla. 844 See: *Śiśurakṣāratna*. 845 See: *Mahārṇava*.
