il of Arya Suhastin, is the Pritidharmika
(p. 292). It is easy to see that a similar name is hidden in the compound
_Petivamikakutavachakasya_ 'of the preacher of the Petivamika line';
and an inscription excavated by Dr. Fuhrer at Mathura mentions the
Petivamika (_kula_) of the Varana _ga[n.]a_. With the second
line little can be done: if the letters _prapa_ are correct and form
a word, one of the objects dedicated must have been a drinking fountain.
6. The inscription No. 20, plate xv offers likewise slightly corrupt and
mutilated names of a _ga[n.]a_, a _kula_ and a _sakha_,
mentioned in the _Kalpasutra_. In the lithographed copy lines 3-7 are
hopeless and there is no rubbing to help. The word _thitu_ 'of a
daughter' in line 6, and the following _ma.uya_ which is probably a
misreading of _matuye_ 'of the mother' show that this dedication also
was made by a female. The last four syllables _vato maho_ are
probably the remnant of another namaskara--_namo bhagavato
Mahavirasya._ As regards the proper names, Aryya Rehiniya is an
impossible form; but on comparison with the next inscription to be
mentioned, it is evident that the stone must have read
_Aryvodchikiyato_ or _Aryyadehikiyato ga[n.]a[to]_. [Footnote:

According to the _Kalpasutra_ (_S.B.E_. vol. XXII, p. 291)
Arya-Roha[n.]a was the first pupil of Arya Suhastin and founded the Uddeha
ga[n.]a. The latter split up into four ['s]akhas and into six kulas. The
name of its fourth ['s]akha, Pur[n.]apatrika, closely
resembles--especially in its consonantal elements--that of the inscription,
_Petaputrika_, and I do not hesitate in correcting the latter to
_Ponapatrika_ which would be the equivalent of Sansk.
Paur[n.]apatrika. Among the six kulas is the Parihasaka, and considering
the other agreements, I believe it probable that the mutilated name read
as _Puridha.ka_ is a misreading of _Parihaka_, We may emend the
first two times and read as follows,--
