VICRAMADITYA AND SALIVAHANA. 147 



The third Vicrama'ditya was the son of Gard- 

 DABHARUPA, Of Rashabha-se'na, OF the man with 

 the countenance of an ass. That name is pro- 

 nounced Gadha'-rupa, or Gandha-rupa, in the 

 spoken dialects; and he is called also Gadhendra, 

 or the lord of asses, and Ghosha-ra'ja, or the king 

 of thickets and bushes. 



In the list of the emperors of India^ in the annexed 

 table, he is called Gand'ha-pa'la ; and, at Ujjayiniy 

 his name is GANnHA-RurrsENA, according to Dr. 

 Hunter of our Society *. A. Roger writes it 

 Veneroutfsi, or Gueneroutfsi : but says, that 

 it was the name of the sister of Vicrama'ditya, 

 who, they insist in the Deccau^ was himself the son 

 of a Brahmen of Benares, called Chandra-gupta ; 

 and there is a fulsome account of the birth of this 

 Vic RAMA, in the first section of the Sinhasana- 

 divdtrinsati, called Vicrama-Updchyana. " In GurJ- 

 jara-mandalam are the Sdbharamati, and Mahi rivers ; 

 between them is a forest, in which resided Tamra- 

 lipta-kIshi, whose daughter married king Tamra- 

 s'ena. They had six male children, and one daugh- 

 ter, called Madana-rec'ha'. The king had two 

 young lads, called Deva-s'arma' and Hari-s'arma', 

 whose duty chiefly was to wash, every day, the 

 clothes of their master, in the waters of the nearest 

 river. One day, as De'vas'arma' went, by himself, 

 for that purpose, he heard a voice saying, tell king 

 Tamra-s'ena to give me his daughter; should he 

 refuse me, he will repent it. The lad, on his return, 

 mentioned the whole to his master; who would not 

 believe it, and next day sent Hari-s'arma' to the 

 river, who heard the same voice also, with the threats 

 in case of a refusal. The king was astonished ; and, 

 going himself, heard the voice also. On his return.
