whom was qvLaf’ AG'Y QU’ Bqrq: Ikshwaku Virudhaka, ae 
Vidéhaka.) He has four sons, y1raynqrmna, qm’, Wa" ny B 
Q34, and que SQ" Ss. After the death of his first wife, he marries 
again. He obtains the daughter of a king, under the condition that he 
shall give the throne to the son that shall be born of that princess. By 
the contrivance of the chief officers, tomake room for the young prince 
to succession, the king orders the expulsion of his four sons. 
They taking their own sisters with them, and accompanied by a 
great multitude, leave Potala (q° 285) , g° towards the Himalaya, and 
reaching the bank of the Bhagirathi river (yQ"933" Qu" %) settle there, 
not far from the hermitage of Capiza the Rishi (SQ YQ NI YOO. 
5|4), and live in huts made of the branches of trees. Theylive there 
on hunting; and sometimes they visit the hermitage of Capita the 
Rishi. He observing them to look very ill, asks them why they 
were so pale. They tell him how much they suffer on account of their 
restraint or continence. He advises them to leave their own uterine 
sisters, and to take themselves (to wife) such as are not born of 
the same mother with them. O great Rishi! said the princes, is it 
convenient for us todo this? Yes, Sirs, answered the Rishi, banished 
princes may act in this way. Therefore, taking for a rule the advice 
of the Rishi, they do accordingly, and cohabit with their non-uterine 
sisters, and have many children by them. The noise of them 
being inconvenient to the Rishi in his meditation,he wishes to change 
his habitation. But they beg him to remain in his own place, and to 
design for them any other ground. He therefore marks them out the 
place where they should build a town: since the ground was given to 
them by Capra, they called the new city Capilavastu. They multiply 
there exceedingly. The gods seeing their great number, show them 
another place for their settlement. They build there a town, and call 
it by the name of Way AYA Lhas-bstan, (shown by a god.) 
Remembering the cause of their banishment, they make it a law, 
that no one of them hereafter shall marry a second wife of the same 
tribe, but that he shall be contented with one wife. 
At Potala ( 3" QF4) the king IksHwaxu ViruDHAKA, recollecting 
that he had four sons, asks his officers, what has become of them. They 
tell him, how for some offence His Majesty had expelled them, and 
how they had settled in the neighbourhood of the Himdlaya, and that 
they have taken their own sisters for their wives, and have been much 
multiplied. The king, being much surprised on hearing this, exclaims 
several times: Shakya! Shdkya! Is it possible! Is it possible! (or
