page 393 note 2 Mr. Beni Prasad apparently attributes iv, 42, 1, to Varuṇa, but iv, 42, 3, to Trasadasyu. According to the native tradition, iv, 42, 1–6 are the ātmastuti of Trasadasyu which is, however, impossible. Cf. my remarks in Die Suparṇasage, p. 96 sqq.

page 395 note 2 The counter-arguments of Professor Keith (IA. 52, 59 sq.)Google Scholar, as usual, are no arguments at all, as they simply consist in denying evidence without adducing other that proves something to the contrary. Thus, when I find in Śiśupālavadha, i, 47, an imitation of an expression in the final verse of the MudraraksasaGoogle Scholar, Professor Keith finds that Visakhadatta has instead imitated Magha, etc.
