STUDIES IN THE UPAPUR膧峁咥S
mentioned as 'Au艣anasa', 47 in most of them it is called
'U艣anaserita' (i.e. the Pur膩峁嘺 spoken out by U艣anas), 48
and in one it is named as 'Au艣anasa-prokta'.49 In those
lists of eighteen Upapur膩峁嘺s which Mitra-mi艣ra and Gop膩la-
d膩sa derived from the 'Brahma-vaivarta', this Au艣anasa-
upapur膩峁嘺 is called 'Saukra'. 50
The mention of this Upapur膩峁嘺 in almost all the lists of
eighteen Upapur膩峁嘺s shows that it was a fairly early work
and must have been written before 800 A.D. But unfor-
tunately not a single Sm峁泃i or non-Sm峁泃i work is found to
draw upon or refer to it. It is probable that either this
Au艣anasa-upapur膩峁嘺 became extinct at an early date, or it
became unpopular with the authors of Sm峁泃i and other
works from the tenth century A.D.
The Au艣anasa-upapur膩峁嘺 must not be taken to be
the same as the B峁沨ad-au艣anasa-upapur膩峁嘺, which was a
much later work. For this B峁沨ad-au艣anasa-upapur膩峁嘺 see
below.
4. The B膩rhaspatya Upapur膩峁嘺.
It is mentioned as the fourth Upapur膩峁嘺 in the list of
Upapur膩峁嘺s contained in the Rev盲-kh. (1. 49) of the Skanda-
p. No other list contains its name, nor does any commenta-
tor or Nibandha-writer draw upon or refer to it. So, we
are quite ignorant of its date and contents. According to
the Rev盲-kh., this B膩rhaspatya Upapur膩峁嘺 belonged to the
V膩yu-p. (b膩rhaspatyam caturtham ca v膩yavyam sammatam
sad膩. Skanda-p. V. iii. 1. 49a).

The Bh膩gavata-upapur膩峁嘺.
The Devi-bh膩gavata mentions a 'Bh膩gavata' in its list
47 See Nity膩c膩ra-pradipa, p. 19 (which derived its list from the 'Kurma-p.'),
Devi-bh膩gavata I. 3. 13-16.
48 For these lists See Vol. I, pp. 4-10 and 12.

Sukra and U艣anas are names of the same person.
