14, The Seven Sahajata of the Buddha. 
By H. C. Norman. 
In Fausbdll’s edition of the Jataka, Volume I, page 54, occurs 
cd . . ee 6s 
existence the queen, the mother of Ra ula ; Channa, the courtier, 
jata nama, “ these seven are called the Connatal Ones.’ 
R avids in his translation, p. 68, was the first to call atten- 
tion to a discrepaucy between the summary account and the details. 
In his note he says: ‘ There is some mistake here, as the list con- 
tains nine—or if the four treasures count as one, only six—Conna- 
tal Ones. I think before Kaludayi we should insert Ananda, the 
loving disciple. So Alabaster and Hardy (Wheel of the Law, 
p. 106; Manual of Buddhism, p. 146). Bigandet also adds Anan- 
counted as number 1, and the four urns of treasure together as 
number 7.” 
But in a Sinhalese edition of the Jatakatthakatha by Silanan- 
da Thera, published in Sinhalese characters in 1892, we find after 
Kaludayi (sic) amacco, and before Kanthako assaraja the addition 
Ajaniyyo hatthiraja. This would solve the difficulty raised above 
pf on dasahi saddehi avivittam, which runs thus: "atthisaddens, 
rathasaddena, bherisaddena, mutiigasaddena, vinasaddena, gi 
dena, sammasaddena, samkhasaddena, talasaddena, “ asanatha (lage 
weukiho) pivatha khadatha ” ti dasamena sadden; a 'ti imehi ene 
saddehi avivittam ahosi. This list gives a ‘endo’ too much, 
noted by Rhys Davids in his ‘Buddhist Suttas,’ p. 249, note: “ this 
enumeration is found also at Jataka, p. 3, only that the chank is 
added there—wrongly, for that makes the number of cries eleven,” 
In Silananda’s text ‘ sainkhasaddena ’ is omitted, and this agrees 
on the enumeration as given in other texts (see Digha II, 170 
T.S.) 
To return to the Satta ——, the addition of the elephant 
seems very suitable, not only becau it makes up the required
