Saints and Sinners, designed to illustrate the maxim, " Whatsoever a 

 man soweth, that shall he also reap." 



Editions of the Dhammapada Commentary. — In 1855, extracts 

 from the Commentary were published by Fausboll in his edition of the 

 Dhammapada. The second edition of this work, published in 1900, con- 

 tains only the text and translation of the Dhammapada. In 1906-9 

 appeared the first two instalments of the Pali Text Society edition 

 of the Commentary, edited by Professor H. C Norman of Benares. 

 These two parts together make up Volume I, and contain the first 

 four vaggas. Since the publication of Fausboll's first edition of the 

 Dhammapada, editions of the Commentary, in whole or in part, printed 

 in Burmese or Cingalese letters, have appeared; and at present H. 

 R. H. Prince Vajira-nana is engaged in publishing an edition of the 

 work at Bangkok. The editions which form the basis of my work are 

 as follows : (1) Pali Text Society, Vol. I, Parts 1-2, London, 1906-9 ; (2) 

 Burmese, edited by U Yan, Rangoon, 1903; (3) Cingalese, edited by 

 W. Dhammananda Maha Thera and M. Nanissara Thera, Colombo, 

 1898-1908. 



Translations of parts of the Commentary. — Only a few of the 

 stories have ever been translated into any European language. Such 

 of the Jataka stories as are identical with stories contained in the 

 Commentary, or similar to them, will be found in the Cambridge trans- 

 lation of the Jataka. An English version of three of the stories will 

 be found in Warren's Buddhism in Translations: Patipujika (iv. 4), 

 pp. 264-7; Visakha (iv. 8), pp. 451-481; Godhika (iv. 11), pp. 

 380-3. Four more stories were translated into French by Godefroy de 

 Blonay and Louis de la Valine Poussin under the title Contes Boud- 

 dhiques, and were published in the Revue de 1' Histoire des Religions. 

 Volume xxvi (1892) contains two of these stories : Cakkhupala (i. 1), 

 pp. 180-193; and Matthakundali (i. 2), pp. 193-200; Volume xxix 

 (1894), the two others : Kosambika bhikkhu (i. 5), pp. 329-337 ; 

 Vidudabha (iv. 3), pp. 195-211. In 1870, Captain T. Rogers pub- 

 lished, under the title Buddhaghosha's Parables, an English translation 

 of a late Burmese version of a few of the stories. References to the 

 Jatakas and to Rogers's Parables are given in the Analysis. 



Purpose of this paper. — The purpose of this paper is two-fold. 

 First, it is hoped, by means of a Table giving the titles of the stories, 

 and by an Alphabetic Index to those titles, to render the work in its 

 entirety more accessible to scholars. In particular, it is hoped that 

 the proper names of eminent Buddhists and the information about 

 them may prove of special value as material for the Buddhist 

 onomasticon of Professor Rhys Davids. That the contents of the last
