s that Priyagantha, the second pupil of Susthita and Supratibuddha,
founded a ['s]akha, called Madhyama or Majhima.

As our inscriptions show that Professor Jacobi's explanation of the terms
_ga[n.]a, kula_ and _['s]akha_ [Footnote: _S. B. E_. vol.
XXII, p. 288, note 2.] is correct and that the first denotes the school,
the second the line of teachers, and the third a branch which separated
from such a line, it follows that the ['s]akhas named in the
_Kalpasutra_ without the mention of a _ga[n.]a_ and _kula_,
must belong to the last preceding _ga[n.]a_ and derive their origin
from one of its _kulas_. Hence the Madhyama ['s]akha doubtless was
included in the Kau[t.]ika ga[n.]a, and an offshoot of one of its
_kulas_, the fourth of which is called Pra['s]navahanaka or
Pa[n.]havaha[n.]aya. The correctness of these inferences is proved by
Raja['s]ckhara's statement regarding his spiritual descent at the end of
the _Prabandha kosha_, which he composed in Vik. sa[.m] 1405. He
informs us that he belonged to the Ko[t.]ika ga[n.]a, the Pra['s]navahana
kula, the Madhyama ['s]akha, the Harshapuriya gachha and the Maladhari
samtana, founded by the illustrious Abhayasuri.

For the last words of l. 2 I do not dare to propose an emendation; I
merely note that the gift seems to have consisted of pillars,
_thabani_, i. e. _stambha[h.]_.

4. The Ko[t.]iya ga[n.]a seems finally to be mentioned
in pl. xiii, No. 2, where the copy of line 1, 2nd
side may be corrected as,--

_Siddha--sa 5 he 1 di 10 + 2 asya purvvaye Ko[t.](iya)_.

5. Names of an older _ga[n.]a_ and of one of its
_kulas_ occur in No. 10 plate xiv, where the copy,
which is faulty, may allow the following partial
restoration,---

L. 1. _Sa 40 + 7 gra 2 di 20 etasya purvvaye
Vara[n.]e ga[n.]e Petidhamikakulavachakasya Rohanadisya
sisasya Senasya nivatanam savaka-Da_

2. ..._pasha[n.]avadhaya Giha..ka.bha..
prapa [di]na..ma ta_...

which I translate--

"The year 47, the summer (month) 2, the day 20,--on the above date a
drinking fountain was given by ..., the ... of the lay-disciple Da ...
(this being) the _nivatana_ of Sena the pupil of Rohanadi
(Rohanandi) and preacher of the Petidhamika (Praitidharmika) line, in
the Vara[n.]a school."

_Varane_ must be a mistake for the very similar word _Charane_.
The second _kula_ of this _ga[n.]a_ which, according to the
_Kalpasutra_ (_S.B.E_. vol. XXII, p. 291) was founded by
['S]rigupta, the fifth pup
