29. Chakravála and Maháchakraríla mountains, p. 209. Tho. Chakravála is a range of mountains which cncircles tho earth; and Mabáchalsraváin is atuated beyond that chain.
30. So dous each of the following, p 209. In the Sanskrit text the phrase "hundred kutis" is r ated before every name. To obviate this frequent repetition I have introduced this line to covor
all.
31. He should be examineil about it, p. 209. The Chinese toxt does not refer to this wrestling.
32. He can pound into dust, p. 211. Tho word in the Sanskrit text is masichúrna" powilere lampblack," i. e., so ponudul as to bo without grit, like lampblack.
33. Tajruka, p. 211. I have real of no account of this mountain.
34. Let him show his skill in archery, p. 211. 'The Chinese text heru describes tho appointment of one Nizhadeva as the mopire.
35. In perfuvacry, p. 215. Some of the terms are not of clear import. They are obviously technical, but I know not the nature of the arts to which they were applied. The translations given aro purely mechanical. The arts named, it will be soon, are in somnu respects different from the 61 kaliis nained in the Bhagavala Purána. (ante, p. 187). Negative evidence is not often of much value, but it is worthy of note that the text notices by nanie the Sankhya, the Yoga and the Vaioshika doctrince, but does not mand the Mimáītsá and the Vedanta systems. Thu Nyáya is probably included in tho Iloluvidya. It is possiblo that Kriyikulp, as distinct from Yajnukalpro, stands for the Mimáõsa. Itx position between the Yoya and Vaihoshika would suggest the idea. I havo dislocated it and tranxlated it into ceremonials.
37. Mounted on a flagstaf, p. 215. A jewel of great excellence mounted on a pole and held up high, sheds its lustro 80 as to appear like a lamp, lunce the simile. (Cf. anto, . 35.)
38. Sparrow, p. 215. I suspect the worl kalavinka stands bere for some other bird than a sparrow; but I know of no such. The plumage and voico of a sparrow are not such as to be worthy of the comparison hero made.
