SOURCES, CCNTRIBUTION AND INFLUENCE OF PCV. 261 only that but even the Ramop膩khy膩na and the first chapter of the .
Balak膩峁囜笉a of VR itself (i.e. 膧di R膩m膩ya峁嘺) refer to one boon only and
Kaikey墨 demands two things on the strength of that single boon (See
Supra, Ch. 3 Sec. B).
The PCV mentions that Bharata's mother did not demand Rama's
exile. It is supported by the Dasaratha Jataka and Dasaratha Kath膩nam
(See Supra, Ch. 3 Sec. 3B).

is supported by the An膩makam J膩taka (See Supra, Ch. 3 Sec. 3B).
The PCV does not mention any definite period of Rama's exile.
It is supported by the Anamakam J膩taka. Even in the R膩mop膩khy膩na,
Kaikeyi does not mention definite period of R膩ma's exile (MB, 3.277.
26). It is at Lanka that the spirit of Dasaratha asks R膩ma
return to Ayodhy膩 as the period of fourteen years has completed (MB,
3.291 29) (See Supra, Ch. 3 Sec. 3B).

The PCV unlike the VR does not refer to any spying work by
R膩vana's men. It is held that even in the VR it is a spurious por-
tion (Bulcke, p. 380).
The severing of the head of imaginary Rama, the duel between
R膩va峁嘺 and Sugr墨va before the commencement of the battle are not
mentioned in the PCV. The same is the case with the R膩mop膩khy膩na
It is held that these two episodes did not form part of the Adi R膩m膩ya峁嘺
also. They are later interpolations (Bulcke, p. 380; See Supra, Ch. 3
Sec. 8 A).
In the PCV R膩ma is said to have lived for 17000 years while in
the VR for 11000 years.
But the Dasaratha J膩taka mentions that R膩ma
lived for 16000 years.
Thus the reference in the PCV is to some extent
supported by the old tradition (See Supra, Ch. 3 Sec. 9. E. V).
The PCV refers to Hanumat's wives. In the whole of the VR
there is no mention that Hanumat was married. But at one place it is
said that Bharata offered 16 girls to Hanumat in marriage (VR, 6. 126.
44). Thus the account in the PCV has some traditional basis.
According to the PCV Hanumat, a V膩nara scion was the son-in-law
of Sugr墨va as well as of R膩va峁嘺's sister. The V膩naras and the R膩k峁�asas
formed two branches of the Vidyadhara lineage. In the VR there is no
such reference but some scattered references in the VR and the
Mahabharata reveal that Sugr墨va and R膩va峁嘺 were filially related (See
Infra, V膩naras under Ch. 10).
