After the discovery of
 
Avantisundarl we will
 
be justified in taking the three works of Dandin to
The
be Avantisundari, Kavyadarsa and Dvisandhana.
Avantisundari as available and the Furvapithika now
current differ in style and also in the details of the story.
The more important points of difference in the story
noticeable between the two works are given below:-
AVANTISUNDARĪ
 
1. By propitiating Siva
Manasara got a sword. p.38.
 
2. Rajahamsa sent a
message that he would
have the war either at
Malava or at Prayag and
then started. pp. 58, 72.
 
3. At the royal com-
mand the ministers started
for the forest along with
the
queens. p. 52.
 
4 The horses brought
the fainting king to the
forest and there, on gain-
ing consciousness, he heard
the talk of Sumati and
cther ministers. p.
 
116.
 
DAŠAKUMĀRACARITA
 
By propitiating Siva,
Manasara got a mace. p. 8.
 
Manasara entered M&-
gadha along with his
army. p. 8.
 
The ministers accommo-
dated the royal ladies in the
forest with the help of the
army. F. 8.
 
The ministers, who were
wounded in the battlefield
searched for the king and
unable to find him out ap-
proached the queen in great
distress. p. 9.
