chhen-po (king of Magadha), collected taxes in Magadha, till prince Vimbasara
opposed, and having conquered his enemy, took (at the time of Shakhya) his
residence in Rajahgriha (according to the dulva of the Tibetans). According to
the dulva, the disciples of Shakhya are permitted to wear three pieces of religions
clothing of a darkned colour (for distinction). Maugalyana, directed by Shakkya
(in the dulva) to teach the inhabitants of the Shakhya-race the origin and history
of their nation (they enquired for), he addresses them, as descendants of Gautama
(Gohutama-tag) and tell the renewal of the world down (through the universal
sovereigns) to Sengehi-hgram, th6 grand-father of Shakhya. Katyayana, sent by

chabyi-race at Yangs-pa-chan, who erect a Chaitya to contain i t , the other part
by the king of Magadha, who likewise builds a Chaitya at Skya-snar-lin (Pata-
tlputra) over his share of relics. The sons (born from 32 eggs) of Sagama (a
young girl of Champa), married to an officer at Shravasti in Kosala), were destroyed
by the king of Kosala. According to the dulva, Hphags-skyes-po, king of Kosala,
at the investigation of Mala Onod conquers (after many attacks) the city of the
Shakya race. Being dispersed, many fled to Nepal. During that war a certain
Shakya, Shampaka, is banished from Capila. At his parting request, Shakya
grants him, in an illusory manner, some hairs of his head, some nail-parings
and teeth. He goes to the country Bagud or Vagnd, is made king there and builds
a chapel for the relics. To interdict a person, the priests of Shakya upturned
their alms dishes at Yangs-pa-chan (Vaishali or Allahabad), the city of the Li-
chabyi-race (according to the dulva). The scholarly statesman Madhava, the
Vidyranya as belonging to the order of Gosains, founded by Ganharacharya)
built with the treasure (pointed ont by the goddess Bhuvaneswari) Vidyanagara
(the city of learning) or Vijayanagara (the city of victory), leaving the sovereignty
to a family of the Karma or Kuruba (shepherd race). According to
others, he founded the city and installed as king Burka, a shepherd, who had
waited on him in his devotions. A third account states, that it was founded by
Bukka and Harihara (fugitives from Warankul, which had been conquered by
the Mohamedans)j who encountered the sage in the forest and had the city built
for them. The fourth statement makes Bukka and Harihara officers of Ala-ud-din.

Pandu) from the moon, settled (driven from his patrimonial possessions by enemies)
in Andhra or Telingana, where he founded Nandapnri (1034 p. d.), conquering
the Peninsula from the Godavery to Ramesvara. Bukka was succeeded is
Vijayanagar by Harihara 1429 p. d. Kirti, Saraswati and Bhu Laxmi (the goddess
of fame, learning and of the earth) were created in form of an egg by the
four-headed god Brahma. Buddha (wise as Mercury) was the son of Chandra
Raya. Krishna, the son of devaki in his 5th incarnation as Vamana or the dwarf,
sought alms from Bali, but king Bukka (in Vijayanagara) far surpassed Bali in
dominion, glory and charity (according to the inscription of Krishna deva Maha
Raya). According to the inscription (in canarese) in Vijayanagar, the deity called
Vighneswara (Ganesa), the son of Sambhu, lost his head in battle. When on his
mother (Parvati’s) investigation, the father looked for him, he found only the
body and substituted the head with that one of an elephant. Vighneshwara (proficient
on all languages and sciences) was distinguished by the symbol of the moon
on his head. The compilation of the Tibetan sacred books is called Ka-gyur (or
Kangyur) or translation of commandment, as being translated from the Sanscrit
or the ancient Indian language (of Magadha as the Pracrit). Besides the natural
Nagas, illusory ones being in existence, Shakhya (in the dulva) prohibits to receive
into religious orders any illusory man (Sprul-pa).
