ENTERING ANOTHER'S BODY. 5 



jfiapti, "Prescience," or "Foreknowledge,"^* Kathas. 51. 45; iii. 

 52; Pargvanatha Caritra, 6. 879, 1141; or Prakrit JanavanI (San- 

 skrit, Jnapani), "Knowledge."^' In Kathas. iii. 52, a king, 

 suspecting that some calamity might have befallen his father, 

 thought upon the " Science" named Prajiiapti, who thereupon pre- 

 sented herself, and he addressed her: "Tell me how has my father 

 fared?" The Science that had presented herself in a bodily form 

 said to him: "Hear what has befallen your father, the king of 

 Vatsa." Similarly, in Kathas. 30. 6fTf., Madanavega, a Vidyadhara, 

 is worried because he is in love with the mortal maiden Kalihgasena. 

 He calls to mind the Science named Prajfiapti, which informs him 

 that Kalihgasena is an Apsaras, or heavenly nymph, degraded in 

 consequence of a curse. Similarly, ibid., 42. 32, Ratnaprabha calls 

 up a supernatural Science, called MayavatI, " Witching," which tells 

 her tidings of her husband. 



The " Science " called Caksusi, " Seeing," is bestowed by the 

 Gandharvas upon Arjuna, Alahabh. i. 171. 6; the "Science" called 

 Pratismrti, " Memory," is taught by his brother to Arjuna, ibid., 

 3. 36. 30. In Bambhadatta, p. 8. 1. 19, there is a " Science," called 

 Samkari (Skt. Qamkarl), " Safety-bestower " ; if this is merely 

 remembered it surrounds one with friends and servants that do 

 one's bidding (see also ibid., p. 15, 1. 2). In Kathas. 46. no, King 

 Candradatta possesses the Science called Mohani, " Bewildering," 

 and for that reason is hard to conquer ; similarly, in Kathakoga, p. 

 144, there is the Science called "Invincible" (presumably Apara- 

 jita) ; and in Parganatha Caritra, 3. 938, the Science called Viqva- 

 vagikara, "All-subjecting," presents herself in person (avirbhavati 

 svayam). 



The last-mentioned text, in 8. 60, 158, has the Science called 

 KhagaminI, " Flying in the air." The same Science is called Akaga- 

 gamini in Pargvanatha I. 577, and in Prabhavaka Carita, p. ii, 

 gloka 151 ; Vyomagamini or Gaganagamini in Prabhavaka Carita, 

 p. 7, gloka 109, and p. 19, gloka 148; not very different is the 

 Science called AdhisthayinI, "Floating in the air," Pargvanatha i. 



1* See also Kathakoga, pp. 22, 2,2. A preceptor of these sciences is called 

 Prajiiapti-Kaugika in Kathas. 25, 284.
