bourhood ; and Tayamur Udaiijar continued to extend, to persons of 

 that persuasion, flattering distinctions and privileges. 



Note. — This paper was more legible than the former one, but in some 

 places difRcult to be restored : it seems to contain a plain traditionary 

 statement of matters not very remote; and, in the main, may possibly 

 be depended on. Many ^amas live in the neighbourhood of Arcot, 

 Vellore, and Conjeveram. 



Section 3. — Account of the Sanc'luja, and other modes of religious 

 credence. 



In the early times during the reign of a son of Bharata, the Muni 

 C«j(9?7a performed penitential austerities after the Jaina {Vaishnava) 

 mode. There is a defective Pracrit-sloca, or verse. Some notice follows 

 of the foundation of the Sancliya school by Capita ; notices of other 

 persons with defective slocas ; account of leaders of the Jaina system, 

 and of their disputations with the followers of other opinions.

 sequence to restore it, has been a failure. The information that, if 

 otherwise, might have been obtained from it, we most probably possess 

 from other sources.
