^{page 215 note 1} Those who may look up the subject should not fail to read Mr. FitzEdward Hall's delightful footnote on p. 8 of his Introduction to the Vāsavadatta (ed. Bibl. Ind., 1859).

^{page 215 note 2} [It should have been mentioned that in the letter the possibility of two Mayūras was clearly referred to.—Rh. D.]

^{page 215 note 3} [Not at all. Just as Galaturu-mūla is used at the end of this note as a name, so Wilgam-mūla, which is an epithet of a distinguished member of the Wilgam-mūla fraternity, may be rightly used as a designation without supposing it to be a family name.—Rh. D]

^{page 216 note 1} Sometimes called samāgama ‘confraternity.’ See M. Dharmaratna's preface to his edition of the Abhidhammattha-saṅgaha, p. 1 ad fin., where the Uttara-mūla and Vilgam-mūla are given as the leading samāgamas in the twelfth century a.d.

^{page 216 note 2} Edited at Colombo, 1890, by my friend Don M. de Zilva Wickremasinghe (Vikramasiṃha), whose kind assistance in the present note I have to acknowledge.
