tl The last of these was Ne'mi, a monarch who received offerings from the Diwd and 

 was a Chakkawatti (powerful sovereign), whose dominions were bounded by the 

 ocean : the son of Ne'mi was Kala'kajanako* ; his son was Samankuro : and 

 Lis son was Aso'ko ; and his descendants were eighty-four thousand rulers who 

 reigned supreme in their capital B&r&nusi. 



11 The last of these was the raja Wijayo, a wealthy monarch : his son was Wui- 

 TASENo who was endowed with great personal splendor. Dhammase'no, Na'ga-

Nipuro, Chandima', Chandamukiio, Sirira ja, Sanjayo, the monarch Wessan- 

 taro, Jalo, Sihawa'hano and Sihassaro. These were enterprising monarchs, 

 who upheld the pre-eminence of their dynasty ; and his (Sihassaro's) descendants 

 were eighty-two thousand, who (all) reigned supreme in their capital Kapilawatthu. 



" The last of these was Jayase'no ; his son was Se'hahanu who was endowed 

 with great personal splendor. Unto the said Se'hahanu there were five sons. 

 Those five brothers were Suddho'dano, Dh'oto'dano, Sukko'dano, Ghatito- 

 dano and Amitod a no. All these rajas were distinguished as OdanoJ. Siddat- 

 tho, the saviour of the world, was the son of Suddho'dano ; and after the 

 birth of his illustrious son Rahulo, finally reliquished (worldly grandeur) for the 

 purpose of attaining Buddhohood. 



" The whole of these monarchs, who were of great wealth and power, were in 

 number one lakh, four nahutani§ and three hundred. Such is the number of 

 monarchs of the dynasty from which the Bodhisatto (Buddho elect) is sprung. 



" Perishable|| things are most assuredly transitory, it being their predestiny that 

 after being produced they should perish ; they, accordingly, being produced, pass 

 away. To arrest this (eternity of regeneration and destruction, by the attainment 

 of nibbdnan) is indeed to be blessed." 



The conclusion of the Mahdrdjaioanso. 



11 The raja Suddho'dano, the son of Se'hahanu was a monarch who reigned 

 in the city called Kapila ; and the raja Bha'tiyo was then the monarch who 

 reigned at Rdjagahdn, a city situated in the centre of five^[ mountains. These two 

 rulers of men, Suddho'dano and Bha'tiyo, the descendants (of royal dynasties) 

 from the commencement of the kappo, were intimately attached to each other. 



** {By Bimbisa'ro the sou of Bha'tiyo) these five wishes were conceived in the 

 eighth year of his age. ' Should my royal parent invest me with sovereignty : 



Aithakathd Makha'dewo is reckoned among the eighty-five thousand successors of 

 Sagaradewo, whereas that number should be exclusive of him. 



* Here also the Tikd notices in reference to the Mahdwanso that the eighty- 

 five thousand are to be reckoned exclusive of Samankuro and Asoko.

 dynasty of Okkdkamukho. 



X This word literally signifies " boiled rice :" no reason is assigned for adopting 

 the designation. 



$ In this sense nnahutan is 10,000, making therefere 140,300 monarchs. Accord- 

 ing to the Tikd there were 252,539 rajas from Maha'sammato to Okkako, the 

 Jkswaku of the Hindus.

 Satlapanni cave in which the first convocation was held; Wepntto ; Pandawo 

 aud Gejjhakato, the mountain where Buddho dwelt last in the neighbourhood of 

 Rajagakdn.
