INTRODUCTION
(1) THE EDITION 
THIS edition of the Divyavadana is more or less a reprint
in Devanagari script of the one edited in Roman script by E.B.
Cowell and R.A. Neil (C in marginal references), and issued by
the Cambridge University Press in 1886. It was issued by 
these editors at a time when Buddhist studies were in their
infancy. The language of Buddhist works could not be studied 
and its special features could not be codified for want of 
sufficient material. Professor J.S. Speyer in his introduction
to Avadana-Sataka (Text No. I9 in this Series already published)
has made a special reference to this fact when he stated
that he considered himself more fortunate in his editorial task
than the editors of the Divyavadana. The method of translitera-
tion current in those days has gone out of use. Mistakes in the
use of accented types such as a,i,u,s,s are responsible for a
number of wrong readings in the body of the text of Divyavadana,
and need of a new edition was keenly felt. The Sardulakarna-
vadana (No. 33) in this above edition was relegated to appendix,
and there too, only the narrative portion was retained and details
of Brahmanic lore known to that age were altogether dropped.
Recently a new edition of the full text of sardulakarnavadana,
based on materials available in Calcutta and Paris Mss. and Chi-
nese and Tibetan translations has come out from the Visvabaharati
by Sujitkumar Mukhopadhyaya (M in marginal references for this 
avadana). The present edition of the Divyavadana incorporates
this Sardulakarnavadana in full. The material available in the
full text of this avadana is very interesting in the light of similar
material contained in the recent publication, the Angavijja (Vol. I
of the Prakrit Society of India, Banaras, 1957), on problems
concerning comparative study of ancient Indian culture. It will
thus be seen that the present edition of Divyavadana contains the
entire text, made available for the first time in Devanagari script,
and I feel confident that the work may now be studied by
scholars with ease. It must be stated that I have not used any
fresh Ms. material as no such material has come to light, and
still I feel that the present edition makes a considerable advance
over the previous edition. I have added a number of useful
features such as the index of verses (not supplied in Cowell’s
edition) and a glossary of words mostly selected from older
@viii
edition, references to avadanas in other collections like Avadana-
Sataka, Avadana-Kalpalata, Vinaya-Vastu of Sarvastivada school as
preserved in the Gilgit Mss. Vol III, parts i-iii. With all these
improvements in the present edition, the world of scholars still
owes a deep debt of gratitude to the pioneering work of Cowell
and Neil and to Professor Sujitkumar Mukhopadhyaya of Visva-
Bharati. Although I have corrected a number of mistakes which
were clearly due to misreading of Mss. and scribal errors and 
also due to diacritical marks, it is just likely that I also might
have made a few new mistakes due to slips of types which seem
to be inevitable in three-lined Devanagari typography.
(2) MSS. USED BY COWELL AND NEIL
The first edition of the Divyavadana was based on three
Mss. A,B, C from Cambridge University Library and one D
from Asiatic Society of Paris. The editors also consulted two
more Mss, E, and F from Bibliotheque National, Paris, and
occasionally used the St. Petersburg Ms. All the above
Mss. except F were modern copies made from one
original. Bendall reports of one more Ms. which he found in
Nepal during his visit, and which according to him, belonged to 
17th century. The Mss. authorities thus go back to only one
source, and hence variants recorded by the editors are simply
results of the greater or less care on the part of respective scribes.
It is, however, possible to correct the text by comparison with
other narratives, now available, but where such sources fail to
give any help, we have to retain the text as Mss. give it. 
The Divyavadana, according to Cowell, is written generally
in fairly correct Sanskrit, barring of course the special features
in vocabulary, grammar and technical words, which are com-
monly shared by Buddhist works of the period. But we must 
make a special mention of the language and style of the Candra-
prabhavadana (No.22) and of the Maitrakanyakavadana (No.38),
particularly the latter, which are written in perfect classical style.
In my view, there are strong reasons to hold that No. 38 is most
probably written by Arya Sura, the author of the Jatakamala
(Volume No. 21 in the present Series, now nearly ready for pub-
lication) as the comparison of the style, method and manner of 
treating the narrative of this avadana and of the jatakamala
clearly shows. 
@ix
(3) TiTLE OF THE WORK
The title Divyavadana given to this work is found in only
two out of six Mss., viz., D and E, which invariably read## iti śrīdivyā-
vadāne ##at the end of an avadana. It is also found in Ms. F. Burnouf
invariably used this title, and so Cowell and Neil retained
it. Further, in one of the Mss. of the Virakusavadana in the 
Cambridge University Library, the colophon reads:## iti śrīdivyāvadāno-
ddhrta aṡṭamīvratamāhātmyakuśāvadānaṃ samāptam. ##But this Kusavadana is not found in
the present collection. The name Divyavadana, however, is cur-
rent in Nepal, and it may be that we have here an incomplete
collection of avadanas going under that name. There is another
reason for this assumption. We know from Speyer’s introduction
to his Avadana-Sataka that there are many other collections of 
avadanas such as Asokavadana-mala and Vicitrakarnikavadana-mala
Of these two collections, the latter contains 32 avadanas. Now,
out of these 32 avadanas some 9 were chosen by a Newari writer
from Nepal for rendering them into Newari language. This ren-
dering in Newari is edited and translated into English by Hans
Jorgensen and published as Vol. No. XXXI of the Oriental

Translation Fund, New Series, Royal Asiatic Society, London
(1931). The title chosen for this work by Jorgensen is## vicitrakarṇikā-
vadānoddhrta ##as only 9 out of 32 are found rendered in Newari. There
is thus a good reason to believe that the Divyavadana in the pre-
sent collection also might be incomplete, and that there may be
still a few more avadanas that have not reached the hands of 
scholars. Further, many of the avadanas included here are
found translated in Tibetan as independent works, and no trans-
lation bearing the title Divyavadana is found there (see Tohoku
Catalogue), whereas several stray avadanas are found translated,
e. g., No. 14 (Tohoku No. 345) No. 22 (Tohoku No. 348)
and No. 20 (Tohoku No. 350). Further, the present collection
seems to be after all a compilation differing in age as well as in
authorship as has been pointed out above, as some avadanas are
written in pure Buddhist Sanskrit on the model of Mahayanasutras
in pre-Gupta style, some in semi-classical style, and some parti-
cularly Nos. 22 and 38 in purely classical style. 
(4) THE CONTENTS AND DATE OF THE WORK
The number of sections or chapters in the Divyavadana in
the edition of Cowell and Neil is 38. I have retained the same
number of sections in the present edition. This does not mean
@x
that the collection contains 38 avadanas describing noble deeds
of as many persons. Far from it. Of these 38 sections, Nos. 12
and 34 are remnants of old Sutras belonging to the Mahayana
sect, the former describing miraculous powers of Buddha exhibit-
ted at Sravasti, and the latter his discourse on gifts. The titles
of both these works contains the word Sutra; Nos. 9 and 10 relate
to one and the same story, viz., that of Mendhaka; Nos. 23, 24
and 25 to Samgharaksita; Nos. 26, 27, 28 and 29 deal with stories
connected with the life of king Asoka. On the other hand,No.
6 may be split up into two avadanas, that of Indra and Toyika-
maha, and No. 26, that of upgupta and Asoka. The remaining
avadanas may be regarded as avadanas relating to the life of a
single individual, past, present and future.
The literary qualities of these avadanas vary considerably,
and contain elements of old tales in Purana style, tales from the
sacred literature, tales modeled on classical style with considera-
ble dramatic element as in No. 26, tales in semi-classical style as
in No. 22, and tales in purely classical style as in No. 38. Cowell
and Neil in their introduction (p.viii) say: “Many of our
legends belong to the Vinaya Pitaka as they continually bring in 
some reference to a point of discipline. They are not direct
translations of any Pali original, but seem to come from an inde-
pendent source. They are isolated fragments which alone
survive from what once was a large literature”. We may note
further that there is no frequent mention of Avalokitesvara or
Manjusri or of Vidyas and Dharanis except a Sadaksari Vidya
in No. 33. All this points to the fact that they belong to a
period of transition from Hinayana to Mahayana. It is now
proved beyond doubt that the Divyavadana is a work belonging
to the Sarvastivada School (see Dr. A.C. Banarjee: Sarvastivada
Literature).
Winternitz holds the view that various parts of the work
belong to different periods; that there are some passages which
must certainly have been written prior to 3rd century A.D. The
compiler of Divyavadana has made use of Vinaya Vastu of Mula-
sarvastivadins and of Kumaralata’s Kalpanamanditika. It is now
proved beyond doubt that many of the avadanas included in this
work are also found in the Vinaya Vastu as preserved in the
Gilgit Mss, in full or in parts. For instance, the Mandhatava-
dana, No. 17, is taken partly from Vinaya Vastu (pp. 92-98) and
@xi
partly from Madhyamagama as the remark:## vistareṇa māndhātrsūtraṃ madhyamāgame
rājasaṃyuktakanipāte (P. 93) clearly proves. There are many avadanas
such as Sudhana (No. 30) and Stutibrahmana (No. 5) which
are found almost word for word in the Vinaya Vastu. As this
work is preserved in fragments, it is not possible for us to discuss
the question further. However, the collection as a whole, could
not have been in existence earlier than the 4th century A. D., for
not only are Asoka’s successors, the kings of the Sunga dynasty
down to Pusyamitra (circa 178 B.C.) are mentioned in the
work, but the Dinara occurs several times. We know that
Kumaralata, the author of Kalpanamanditika, lived considerable
time after Kaniska, and so there must be a further lapse of time
after Kumaralata for the compiler of the Divyavadana to make
extensive use of his work. All these facts collectively bring us
nearer to about 350 A. D. It is valuable to know, however,  that 
precisely one of the most interesting legends in the Divyavadana,
No. 33, at least in an abridged form, was translated into Chinese
in 265 A. D. It is, therefore, safe to hold that the Divyavadana,
in its present form, came into existence between 200 and 350 A.D.
(5) THE SOURCES OF DIVYAVADANA
The sacred literature in Sanskrit of the Buddhists corres-
ponding to Tripitaka in Pali, is, unlike Pali tradition which has
9 constituents, analysed into 12 constituent parts:##
sūtraṃ geyaṃ vyākaraṇaṃ gāthodānāvadānakam |
itivrttakaṃ nidānaṃ vaipulyaṃ ca sajātakam |
upadeśādbhutau dharmau dvādaśāṅgamidaṃ vaca: ||
(Haribhadra’s Aloka, Baroda Edn. P. 35)
These twelve parts constituted the teaching of Budddha,
avadana being the sixth part. Cowell and Neil held the view
that avadana forms part of Vinaya. Levi, on the strength of some
fragments of Samgharakritavadana (Nos. 23, 25) found in Eastern
Turkestan, surmised that it formed part of Vinaya of the Mula-
sarvastivadins. The discovery and publication of the Vinaya-
Vastu, still incomplete and in fragments, of the Mulasaravasti-
vadins) Gilgit Mss. Vol. III, edited by dr. Nalinaksa Dutt) sets
the entire question at rest, and the conclusion to be drawn from
its study is that the avadana is an important constituent part of 
the twelve-fold teaching of the Buddha, whether it is Vinaya or
Sutra. Naturally, some stories will be found embodied in the
@xii
Vinaya and some in the sutra. I refer particularly to the story
of Mandhata (No. 17 in the present collection) which is narrated
in the Vinaya Vastu in brief, but the reader there is referred to
Madhyamagama:## vistareṇa māndhātrsūtraṃ madhyamāgame rājasaṃyuktakanipāte. ##(See Gilgit
Mss., Vol III, part I, P. 93). Similarly the story of Mhasudar-
sana ( Not in DA) is referred to Dirghagama:## vistareṇa mahāsudarśanasūtraṃ
dīrghāgame ṡaṭsūtrikanipāte ##(P.97) and so on. It is not, therefore, right to
say that avadana is exclusively a part of Vinaya. It is one of
the constituent parts of Buddha’s teaching. The sources of the
Divyavadana therefore must be traced to the sacred literature of 
the Buddhists in Sanskrit in general, and not exclusively to 
Vinaya. Kumaralata also must have based his work, Kalpana-
manditika, on similar sources. I have already stated above that
the Maitrakanyakavadana is most likely from the pen of Arya
Sura, the author of jatakamala and other works.
The Divyavadana, thus, is one of the earliest collections of 
Avadanas in Buddhist Sanskrit literature. Perhaps Avadana-Sataka
may be slightly earlier than this work. These avadanas were
scattered over the sacred books of Buddhists, such as Vinaya,
Dirghagama, Madhyamagama, Samyuktagama etc., and seem
to have been extracted from these works and put together for 
ease and convenience of instruction to young monks. There are
a number of special features peculiar to this avadana literature.
One of them is a set of stereotyped passages which I have put
together in Appendix II to the Avadana-Sataka (No, 19 in the
present Series). These passages occur in full in every avadana
in that work, but in the Divyavadana they recur, sometimes in
full, sometimes expanded, and sometimes abridged with## yāvat.
It may be noted that such stereotyped passages do not figure at
all in Nos. 22 and 38.

[##This Glossary contains a few important and rare words and 
their meanings occurring in the Divyavadana. They have been 
noted here for the convenience of the reader who need not turn
the pages of a dictionary every now and then, and thus have a 
break in his reading. Now that Professor Franklin Edgerton’s 
Dictionary of Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit is available to readers, 
no references to occurrence of the word on pages and lines is 
thought necessary.##]

##Critical Notes
1 
Page 2, lines 4-10.-Note why the boy was named srona, e.,
born on sravana, and kotikarna, becanse he was born with jewelled
ear-rings. We have in Pali Mahavagga Sono Koliviso and Kotikanno. 
Page 5, line 5,## kuṭukuñcaka ##means miserly, niggardly. 
2 
Page 22, lines 17-20.-We often find this stanza in AS and 
here. It sometimes refers to a single monk and sometime to two 
or even more. The wording of the text accordingly varies to suit 
the number; but the wording in the last line is often## naivaṃ ##for## evaṃ ##which 
does not seem to be right;## evaṃ ##is the right reading, meaning “so he 
stood at the desire of Buddha.”

A part of this avadana corresponds to GM. Vol. III. pp. 73-76.

cious moment which would put an end to the samsara of this man, 
who is born a Brahmin. GM. P.74 reads## kṡūṇa ānanda eṡa brāhmaṇa:.

Vol. III p. 252. At this place Dr. Dutt reads## nakulaka: ##following our
text, though his Ms. has a damaged folio.## nakulaka ##means a purse of 
the shape of## nakula ##which is still used by villagers to carry money and
usually fastened round waste. The origin of## kamaraka ##is still doubtful, 
but it may be noted that the word## kamara-kambara ##means waste in Marathi.

This avadana corresponds to GM. Vol. III, pp. 249-255.

This section dealing with miracles which Buddha performed in 
driving away the heretics may be called an avadana only by stretch

of imagination; though Ksemendra has also styled his AK No. 13 to 
be so. 
17
This story of mandhata is taken partly from vinaya-vastu-Bhe-
sajyavastu as found in GM. pp. 92-97 and also from Madhyamagama. 
page 132, line 22-Read## ṡaṭ śakrā: ##for## ṡaṭ cakrā: ##This wrong reading 
may be due to the use of c for c, in Romanised text.## śakra ##means 
a period during which one Indra reigns.## ṡaṭ śakrā: ##therefore means 
a period of reign of six Indras.
Page 138, lines 22-25-These stanzas are found in GM. Vol. 
III pp. 95-97, and correspond to dhammapada, 14. 8-9 (186-187). 
25 
The story of samgharaksita is given in two parts unnecesarily 
in No. 23 and 25, with a break of No. 24. We have two avadanas 
relating to Mendhaka, Nos. 9 and 10, but there is no break.
26 
The story of Upagupta as narrated here may be referred to 
GM. Vol III pp. 3-7. It also refers to the past life of## aśoka. 
Page 216, line 16-## alakṡaṇako buddha:, i. e., as good as buddha minus 
his 32 signs. Read## urumuṇḍa ##for## rurumuṇḍa. 
##The well-known story of vasavadatta and Upagupta is narrated 
here from page 218, line 28 to page 221, line 28. 
The narrative of Upagupta and mara narrated on pp. 222-
228, seems to be unreal though dramatic; but seems to have been 
taken from an older source. Many of the verses in this avadana
are introduced by expressions like## āha ca, vakṡyati ca, vakṡyate hi ##which 
suggest this.## 
27
The first para of this avadana narrates Asoka’s visit to various 
holy places sanctified in Buddhism from the birth-place to Nirvana 
of Buddha and homage paid by him to Buddha’s disciples. The
second part narrates the pathetic story of Kunala. 
29 
Page 281, lines 9-10-Asoka here is called## ardhāmalakeśvara:, ##owner
or master of half amalaka fruit, which also he surrendered to monks. 
30 
This avadana corresponds to GM, Vol. III. pp. 123-159. 
@547
Page 288, line 7-GM reads## mahānupamarda: ##for## mahāhatanāda: ##a great noise 
after beating; tumultons sound. 
Page 295-Note that Sudhana expresses his pangs of separation
from Manohara more or less in the same fashion as pururavas does 
for urvasi in kalidasa’s vikramorvasiya, IV.; though kalidasa is 
more refined, his indebtedness to this passage is clear.
31
This avadana corresponds to GM. Vol. III. pp. 68-76 and is a 
repetition of avadana No. 6. This repetition in the same work
suggests that it is a compilation without plan. 
32 
This avadana narrates the story of a lady who offered her flesh
to a poor woman about to devour her newly born child. This 
noble deed prompted Indra to test her further to ascertain the 
motive of her sacrifice. She declared that she did it only for the 
purpose of relieving the sufferings of the poor. After her declara-
tion, her sex was changed; she became a young boy called Rupavata, 
who subsequently became king. In subsequent births, he was born 
as Candraprabha and later Brahmaprabha; while Brahmaprabha was 
practising penance in a forest, a pregnant tigress took shelter near 
his hut. It is usual with this class of animals to devour their 
young ones as soon as born, and to this tigress Brahmaprabha 
offered his body. 
Page 312, lines 8-15- These two sanzas are found in ksemen- 
dra’s AK. 51.45-46 word for word. Obviously ksemendra has 
borrowed them from this avadana. This enables us to correct the 
text. Read## vikṡatāsya ##for## vīkṡatārā (?), ##and## saharṡam ##for## sahasram. ##Also compare 
vyāghrījātaka ##in JM. No. 1. Kern remarks that there is no corresponding 
jataka in Pali for## vyāghrījātaka, ##but in Mahayana litarature there are 
many references to Bodhisattva oftering his body to a tigress to 
save the lives of her young ones. Can we say that this avadāna is 
retouched by Arya sura ? 
33 
The story of Prakrti and her love to ananda constitutes the 
main interest of this avadana. References to## prakrtirmātaṅgadārikā ##and## triśaṅku-

Chinese in about 265 A. D., indicating its antiquity. The original 
form of avadana has undergone many changes in that portions or 
even chapters were added here and there. The conversation bet-

ween Trisanku and puskarasati ultimately turns on to the charact- 
eristics of a brahmana, whether it should depend upon birth or on 
conduct. We have discussions of this topic in numerous places in 
Buddhist literature like Brahmanavagga in Dhammapada, 26 (383- 
423), and asvaghosas Vajrasuci, and in theory the sentiment finds 
expression in Brahmanical literature as well. The reference to 
magical vidyas in this early avadana is somewhat bewildering, as for
instance, on pp. 314 and 315. The full text of the avadana however 
is very valuable from the point of view of early Indian culture.

This section is styled as mahayanasutra and naturally is out 
of place in DA. It mentions 37 kinds of gifts in which a sravaka is 
advised to take recourse to for attaining certain states. This sutra 
seems to have influenced Arya Sura considerably as his Subhasiia-
Ratnakarandaka-katha shows.

This avadana elsewhere is styled as udrayana, e. g., in AK 40.

This avadana is remarkable in that it is entirely different in point 
of style from the remaining avadanas in this collection, even to a 
considerable extent from No. 22, candrapabhavadana. It is almost 
in pure classical style, though Buddhistic hybrid forms are notice- 
able here and there. I would ask the reader to compare the open- 
ing phrase## mātaryapakāriṇa: prāṇina: ##etc. and the closing phrase## tatkimidamupanītam ? 
with the opening and closing phrases in J M., which have almost 
convinced me that the avadana is from the pen of Arya Sura. The 
variety of metres used, long sentences in prose, and the use of two 
Dandakas on page 503, leave no doubt in the reader’s mind that it
is certainly from the pen of a master of classical Sanskrit. The
text as presented in this edition is still corrupt at places, and had 
I taken liberty with my material as Kern did in his JM edition, 
it would not have been difficult for me to give it a perfect classical 
form. 
I also think, though not so convincingly as in the case of this
avadana, that No. 22 has been redrafted or retouched by Arya
Sura. The reference on page 202, line 11 to## vyāghrījātaka ##suggests the 
above conclusion.##
