Birtu or SinivAHana Tus following two extracts from a paper by Colonel Wilford in the ninth volume of the “ Asiatic Researches” are of little value from any historical point of view, but being derived from Brahmanical sources, they are curious as an unconscious testimony to the prevalence, of Naga traditions at the time the Sanchi Gateways were being erected.* os “Towards the end of his reign, Vicramarca sent secret messengers through all the world to inquire whether.a child were born of a virgin one and half year old. The messengers returned to Ujjayini with the news that a male child was born of a virgin, the daughter of a potmaker, ‘ hegot by the King of Snakes (ealled Tacshaca or the Carpenter in the original), while she was . extended to the eastward of Nagpore (vide supra, p. 154). in her cradle. They informed him also that. the child named. SAlivShana had attained the ave of five years, and that his ‘grandfather had made numberless figures of soldiers to amuse hin. . “ Vieramarca marched at the head of an army, but the protecting Snake came “to the assistance of the Child, and inspired the figures of clay with life, who. started up as able warriors, attacked Vicramarca and his army, and defeated them ” (p. 120). 7 There were tivo Brahmans, who had a deter who lived with ne in a state of widow- hood—her husband having died while she was yet very young. She conceived by a Naga (‘umdra (or Tacshaca), and the brothers, ashamed of this seemingly disorderly behaviour of their sister, left the country. The unfortunate young widow thus deserted found an asylum in the humble cottage of a. pot maker, where she was delivered of a male child, whom she called Salivéhana.” After some irrelevant matter, the story reaches the battle, and goes ‘on thus :—* They fonght on both. sides with courage, but the Naga ‘Cumara, or son of the Great ‘Serpent, stupefied Vicramarca’s army, who, finding his soldiers asleep, implored the assistance of the Serpent, Vasuki, who gave him some Amrit, with which he revived his troops, and Salivéhana, hearing of this, sent two of his men for some of it, and Vicramarca complied with his request, and here ends the legend” '@&. 130). * SAlivahana died a.p. 78, His capital was situated 300 miles south-west from Sanchi, but his kingdom If I am not very much mistaken, Nagarjuna, Kanishka, and Salivéhana are the three. persons who had the greatest share in engrafting on Buddhism ‘that Serpent Worship which gave rise to tLese forms which it has been the object of the preceding pages to develope. te te NOTE. _ The following footnote was inadvertently omitted on page 94:— Professor” Wilson, quoting from the Mahi Bharata, says, “The King Sagara, in obedience to his Guru, Vasishta, deprived the Mléchch’has. of their institutes;.and imposed on them these marks: the Sacas had half the head shaved, the Yavanas and Cambojas the whole of the hair taken off, the Paradas were ordered “ io wear beards.”—Asiatic Researches, XV. 49, .
