advance upon the other play in the following directions-
rectification of grammatical mistakes; elimination of
redundancies and awkwa uctions; and introduc-
tion of other changes which may be claimed to be
improvements in the form and substance of the verses"
This fact is inexplicable unless the priority of the Car be
accepted.
It may be noted, further, that the M峁沜ch in some
places shows better judgment by placing the verses from
the Car in a better and more suitable context, such as,
e. g.,
etc. in Car, 1, 7, which has been
posted in Act III. 28 in the Mrcch, and ana gara etc.
(Car I. 6) is placed later on in the same act in the M峁沜ch
(I. 36). This answers Bhattanatha Swami's objection
in another connection where he argues that if the M峁沜ch
be the borrower there is no reason for it to change the
context, and he has given an instance of some
dialogues from the later acts of the Mrcch appearing
in the earlier acts of the Car But the M r c ch
is shown above to have changed the context in the acts
of the Car available to us. It is more reasonable to
suppose that a later writer places verses and passages in
a suitable context than to credit him with hssages in
a
mess of the whole thing for no apparent reason. The
Mrcch has effected many improvements in the Car and

hence its author may also be taken to have seen the
unsuitability of some verses at the places where they
were kept by Bh膩sa and changed their context.
5. Dramatic incident. (1) Time analysis of the
two plays reveals the improvements effected be the Mrcch
by omissions. The events of the Mrcch, according to.
Prof. Paranjape, take only five days. The Car ties down.
the events of the first act to sasthi (6th) and the
events in the third act seem to have taken place on
a峁ａ弓ami (8th). But there are chronological inconsistencies
in the Car by the description of moon-rise and moon-
set in the first and third acts respectively taken in
conjunction with the tithi scheme. The Mrcch has got

the third act (p. 79) of the Car by the writer of the latter work according to
Bhattanatha Swami.

But in the view of the matter that we take as explained
above, the contrary is the case. The author of the Mrcch shifted the sentence to a
more suitable context.
