d a discourse on spiritual progress) put together with a little connecting matter, and provided with a prologue and epilogue.] [Footnote 647: But in Ceylon there was a decided tendency to rewrite Sinhalese treatises in Pali.] [Footnote 648: Cf. Divyav. ed. Cowell, p. 37 and Sam. Nik. _P.T.S._ edition, vol. IV. p. 60.] [Footnote 649: See Takakusu on the Abhidharma literature of the Sarvastivadins in the _Journ. of the Pali Text Society_, 1905, pp. 67-147.] [Footnote 650: But not always. See S. Levi, _J.A._ 1910, p. 436.] [Footnote 651: See Lueders, _Bruchstuecke Buddhistischer Dramen_, 1911 and ib. _Das Sari putra-prakarana_, 1911.] [Footnote 652: Inscriptions from Swat written in an alphabet supposed to date from 50 B.C. to 50 A.D. contain Sanskrit verses from the Dharmapada and Mahaparinirvanasutra. See _Epig. Indica_, vol. IV. p. 133.] [Footnote 653: E.g. The Sanskrit version of the Sutta-Nipata. See _J.R.A.S._ 1916, pp. 719-732.] [Footnote 654: See the remarks on the Samyuktagama in _J.A._ 1916, II. p. 272.] [Footnote 655: In the same spirit, the Chinese version of the Ekottara (sec. 42) makes the dying Buddha order his bed to be made with the head to the north, because northern India will be the home of the Law.

It is noticeable that both Asanga and the Yoga Sutras employ the word _dharma-megha_.] [Footnote 660: Called Citta in the Yoga philosophy.] [Footnote 661: See Tylor, _Primitive Culture_, vol.
