| Notes/Description | : | A small treatise on divination by the throw of the dice. It consists of about 180 verses. In some MSS. it is ascribed to a Jain Garga. See next number. Other MSS.,(including the present one) however, read ‘yena’ instead of ‘Jaina.’For a description of the work and its German translation, cf. Weber, Indische Streifen, I. pp.278-307. The work, there, consists of 184 verses. Our MSS. do not contain the last verse found there as well as at Weber, I. p. 269, No.901, according to which the work, was composed by ‘the lion of the Jainas,’ nor do they contain the third of the introductory verses, according to which a Kumari is to declare the meaning of the throw.There is nothing in the work itself to show that the author was a Jain. On the contrary,the introductory verse (महादेवं नमस्कृत्य०) shows the S’aivaite tendency of the author. |
