difference is, however, noticeable :-Here757 the increase is by hundreds after the millennium, [412] after 100,000 years by 84's (cairāsitiväsasayasahassaiṁ se ege puvvarge), and from this point on by 8,400,000 (caürasītipuvvaṁgasaya... sahassāim se ege puvve); in anga 3, however, we find no more exact statement in reference to the manner of the progression 768 (vāsakoại 'ti vä, puvvamgă ti vä, puvvá ti vä).
As the result of the above we may observe one divergence as regards up. 5, where in book VI. (see Ind. Stud. 10, 282), the word puvva occurred in the signification of a million years, and the increase from that point on (without any special mention of the names in question) simply passing by paliovama and sāgarovama, up to osappini, merely by 10's. .
The enumeration of the 72 kalās in a legend of Usabha is not mentioned in detail ; its beginning and end alone being mentioned. The women of the foreign peoples known to us from the Bhagavatisee p. 302-are enumerated as servants of king Bharaha :-Tate nan tassa Bharahassa ranno bahuo khuyya759 Cilāti-vämani-vadabhio-BabbariVaü siyão Joņiya-Palhaviyão, Isiniya-Thăruņiyā (Tharukiņiā, Cărubhaniya) Lasiya Laüsiya Damili Sihali taha Āravi Pulimdi ya Pakvani Vahali Marudi [413] (Mura", Muro') Savario Pärasio ya appigatiyāo cardanakalasahatthayayão....
