ORIGIN AND GENEALOGY OF VARIOUS VA峁偱欰S VR, 171 23. H峁浥泇aroman Vi峁ａ箛upur膩峁嘺, 4.5 H峁浥泇aroman 24. Janaka II Ku艣adhvaja S墨radhvaja K奴艣adhvaja Sita 231 S墨t膩
Bhanumat
The VR and the Pur膩峁嘺s are generally in agreement as regards
the names and the number of the ancestors of Janaka. Mithi and
Janaka I are two persons in the VR while in the Pur膩峁嘺s they are one
and the same person. Then Janaka II, the father of S墨t膩 is called
S墨radhvaja in the Pur膩峁嘺s.
A comparison of the account of the origin and the genealogical
list of the Brahmanical tradition with that of the PCV indicates that
the PCV is giving quite an independent version. The PCV mentions
that Janaka belonged to Hari Vamsa while the VR states that he is a
descendant of Ik峁�v膩ku.
The line of continuity breaks at two places in the PCV while in
the VR it is continuous and there is not a single name preceding
Janaka (the father of S墨t膩) which may be common to the Jaina and the
Brahmanical traditions.
As regards the genealogical lists found in other Jaina works, the
PCR, except one additional name of Puloman, agrees with that of the
PCV. The TSP gives very few names and the names of P峁泃hvipati,
Giri and Mitragiri are not found in the PCV. P峁泃hvipati is mentioned
in the VH (p. 307). The RPS mentions the name of the first king as
M盲rkandeya and then follows the PCR leaving out many successors after
Vasugiri and it has different name for No. 12. It is a common
feature of all the Jaina lists that they are not complete and countinuous.
