As stated above, to illustrate the metres defined Svayambhū has given more than 213 citations—most of them consist of a single stanza-from the current Pk. and Ap. poetry. Of these 132 are found in the preserved portion of the Pk. section, 81 in the Ap. section. Most of the citations are given under their author's name and in this manner fifty-eight writers are quoted: forty-eight for the Pk. section, seven for the Ap. section and three for both. Catur- mukha, Dhürta, Māüradeva, Dhanadeva, Aryadeva, Chailla, Govinda. Śuddhasila, Jinadāsa and Vidagdha appear in the Ap. section. But besides the illustrations cited along with their author's rame, there are fifty citations, all in the Ap. section, which are given without any author's name prcfaced to them. The problem of these anonymous citations has been solved by Modi' and Premiº by identi- fying several of them from Svayambhu's PC. They have shown that SC. V 9 PC. 14 7 9 VI 42 65 1 1 VI 71 77 1 VI 74 77 13 13 VIII 27 5 1 1 A further examination of PC, has enabled me to make the fol- lowing identifications: SC. V 5 PC. 3 3 11 VIII 4 24 2 1-2 6 33 3 9 17 3 1 1 21 31 25 41 1 From this it follows that whenever Svayambhū has selected the illustrations from his own works, he has given them anonymously. Hence it is reasonable to conclude that most of the nameless illustra- tive stanzas in SC. belong to Svayambhū-most of them, and not possibly all, because the text of SC. is based on a single defective Ms. that is unreliable in several matters. For instance the ascrip- tions of SC. I 6 to Vijja and of SC. I 78 to Suddhakai are disputed by the marginal gloss to SC. which gives instead the names of Divaara and Ņiüņa respectively. Still more significant is the fact that at least in one case we are in a position to prove that the Ms. of SC. makes a wrong ascription. SC. VI 71 is reproduced from PC. (77 1 1). But that illustration is given in SC. under the name of Caümuha." Hence so long as we have not got a satisfactory text of SC. based on sufficient Ms. material we should be cautious in drawing conclusions from the available text of SC. Nevertheless, are within reasonable limits when we say that most of the anonymous citations in SC. are taken from Svayambhu's own works. It is likely that some of them did not belong to any particular work, but were composed by Svayambhū ju to illustrate his definitions. 79 27 99 " 55 " 97 " 1 1 7 % 3D 99 we (1) Modi, 1940, 172.
