_Varane_ must be a mistake for the very similar word _Chârane_. The second _kula_ of this _gaṇa_ which, according to the _Kalpasûtra_ (_S.B.E_. vol. XXII, p. 291) was founded by Śrîgupta, the fifth pupil of Ârya Suhastin, is the Prîtidharmika (p. 292). It is easy to see that a similar name is hidden in the compound _Petivamikakutavâchakasya_ 'of the preacher of the Petivâmika line'; and an inscription excavated by Dr. Fuhrer at Mathurâ mentions the Petivâmika (_kula_) of the Vârana _gaṇa_. With the second line little can be done: if the letters _prapâ_ are correct and form a word, one of the objects dedicated must have been a drinking fountain. 6. The inscription No. 20, plate xv offers likewise slightly corrupt and mutilated names of a _gaṇa_, a _kula_ and a _sâkhâ_, mentioned in the _Kalpasûtra_. In the lithographed copy lines 3-7 are hopeless and there is no rubbing to help. The word _thitu_ 'of a daughter' in line 6, and the following _ma.uya_ which is probably a misreading of _mâtuye_ 'of the mother' show that this dedication also was made by a female. The last four syllables _vato maho_ are probably the remnant of another namaskâra—_namo bhagavato Mahâvîrasya._ As regards the proper names, Aryya Rehiniya is an impossible form; but on comparison with the next inscription to be mentioned, it is evident that the stone must have read _Aryvodchikiyâto_ or _Aryyadehikiyâto gaṇâ[to]_. [Footnote: _Wiener Zeitshe. f. d. Kunde der Morgenl._, Bd. II, S. 142 f.] According to the _Kalpasûtra_ (_S.B.E_. vol. XXII, p. 291) Ârya-Rohaṇa was the first pupil of Ârya Suhastin and founded the Uddeha gaṇa. The latter split up into four śâkhâs and into six kulas. The name of its fourth śâkhâ, Pûrṇapatrikâ, closely resembles—especially in its consonantal elements—that of the inscription, _Petaputrikâ_, and I do not hesitate in correcting the latter to _Ponapatrikâ_ which would be the equivalent of Sansk. Paurṇapatrikâ. Among the six kulas is the Parihâsaka, and considering the other agreements, I believe it probable that the mutilated name read as _Puridha.ka_ is a misreading of _Parihâka_, We may emend the first two times and read as follows,— L. 1. _Siddha|m| namo arahato Mahâvir|a|sya devanâśasya | râjña Vâsudevasya saṁvatsare 90 + 8 varshamâse + divase 10 | 1 etasyâ_. 2. _purvv|â|y|e| Aryyo-D|e|h|i|kiyâto gaṇâ|to| P|a|vi|hâsa|k|a|kula|to| P|ou|ap|a|trikât|o| śâkâto gaṇ|i|sya Aryya-Devadatta|sya| na_... ... 3. _ryya-Kshemasya_ 4. _prakagiriṇe_ 5. _kihadiye prajâ_ 6. _tasya Pravarakasya dhitu Varaṇasya gatvakasya ma|t|uya Mitra(?)sa ...datta gâ_ 7. _ye..|namo bhaga|vato mah|âvîrasya|_ and the translation (so far) will be,—
