EPIGRAPHTA INDICA.
[VOL. V.
to bring to full tide) the ocean that is the Lokayatas,- very guardian elephant of that quarter of the regions which is the Barkhya-doctrine, - a very pearl-ornament glittering on the white throat of the woman who is the Mimánsd, - & very hot-rayed sun to (close) the water lilies (blooming at night) that are the Buddhista,- the logician, the learned 88mêsvars, the leader of the Naiydyikas, attained greatness." And a further passage, in lines 63 to 66, describes him, in rhyming epithets, as- Yama-niyama-svadbydya-dhyana-dharapar maunánushthana-japa-samadhi-sila-sampamna vibudha-jana-prasamna nya ya-g&strs. vistri(stpi)ta-sarôjavana-divákara Vaisêshika-vårddhi-varddhana-sa(sa)rat-sudhákara såkhyagama-praviņa-mâņiky-abharana gara-charana-sarasiruhs-shatoharana sabda-fåstra-bahakára vana-vasamta praja-day-8dbuddha Lakuļa-siddhåmta nirupam-6pany&sa-devanadi-praváha nija-datta-mantra-pras&da-samvarddhita-sishya-samddha sahitya-vidya-maha-nadi-pravábanimnagadhisvara bhakti-prav&ba-paritashta-Parambsvara niravadya-nirmmala-tapo-gan-aikanilaya kirtti-kaumudf-mudita-mêdini-valaya nam-di-samasta-prasasti-sahita, namely," he who is possessed of the glory of such names as he who is endowed with self-control, the observance of restraint, the repetition of the scriptures to himself, meditation, immovable abstraction of the mind, the observance of silence, the muttering of prayers, deep contemplation, and good character, and who is gracious to learned men; he who is a very sun to (open) the great cluster of water-lilies (blooming in the daytime) that is the Nydyaldatra, and who is 4 very autumn-moon to bring to full tide the ocean of the Vaibêshikas; he who is a very rubyornament of those who are versed in the Sainkhyagama, and who is a very bee on the water lilies that are the feet of his teacher; he who is a very spring to the grove of mango-trees that is the Sabda fástra, and who has given new life to the Ldkulasiddhanta' by the development of his wisdom; he who is a very stream of the river of the gods in unequalled ronsoning, and who has made the assembly of his disciples to prosper by the favour of the counsel given by him; he who is a very ocean to (roosive) the stream of the great river that is the Sahityavidyd, and who has quite satisfied the god Paramavara (Siva) with the unbroken flow of his devotion; he who is the sole abode of the virtue of blameless and spotless penance, and who has delighted the whole circuit of the earth with the moonlight that is his fame."
Wo gather a good deal of information about the Mavaraköpeyasamtati from variona records at Balagámi. And, in the first place, we find that it was oonnooted with the seot of the Kalamukhas, which is already fairly well known. We learn this from the record of A.D. 1112, which says (line 49)- Parvvat-Amndyada Mûvara-kopeya-santanada Saktiparisheyol-negalto-videdu sishya-châtaka-varshkaļs-mukhar-enisida Kalamukharol,"among
1 Lit. "has awakened."
• Regarding Lakula, the founder of the tenets that were closed under the general head of LdlewariddAduta, see page 826 1. below. Several reference to him and his writinge will be quoted from the Balag mi recorda. And merrtion is made of the Lakuldgama in line 31 of the Bijlpar inscription of A.D. 1074 (Ind. 4st. Vol. I. p. 138).
The principal ones, of which the first was edited by me, Inch Ant. Vol. V. p. 848, at time when the par port of the verre Dhareguera, etc., could uot be formed, and the other all deserve, for various r on, to be properly dealt with in full,- are:
