When a monk or a nun wishes to go to a pure place for study, they 2 should not accept one which is infected by eggs or living beings, &c. ; for it is im- pure and unacceptable.

In feudal societies family ties are very strong and long remembered \ Now we know for certain that Buddha at least addressed himself chiefly to the members of the aris- tocracy, that the Gainas originally preferred the Kshatriyas to the Br^hmans 2 . It is evident that both MaMvira and Buddha have made use of the interest and support of their families to propagate their order.
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 1611
for a second time he transformed himself through his magical power of transformation, and pro- duced the definitive form (which gods adopt on entering the world of men) ; having done so, he passed with that excellent, hasty, trembling, active, impetuous, victorious, exalted, and quick divine mo- tion of the gods right through numberless continents and oceans, and arrived in Gambftdvtpa, in Bha- ratavarsha, in the brahmanical part of the town Kutfdkgr&ma, at the house of the Brihmawa /fc'sha- bhadatta, where the Brihma^l Devslnandi dwelt.

If the other has, on the mendicant's timely entrance, procured or prepared food, &c., which is Adhikarmika, he might silently examine it, and think : ' Why should I abstain from what has been brought/ As this would be sinful r he should not do so. But after consideration he should say: *O long-lived one! (or, O sister!) as it is not meet that I should eat or drink food, &c., which is ddhakarmika, do not procure or prepare it/ If after these words the other brings and gives him dh- karmika food which he has prepared, he should not accept such-like food, &c., for it is impure and unacceptable.

Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 374
He who is averse from (all actions relating to) wind, knows affliction. Knowing what is bad, he who knows it with regard to himself, knows it with regard to (the world) outside ; and he who knows it with regard to (the world) outside, knows it with regard to himself: this reciprocity (between himself and) others (one should mind). Those who are appeased, who are free from passion, do not desire to live, (i)

But know further, that, after winter is gone and the hot season has come, one should leave off the used-up (garment of the three), being clad with an upper and under garment, or with the undermost garment, or with one gown, or with no clothes aspiring to freedom from bonds 3 .

Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 1914
* It is not quite clear what is meant by Ga/*a, Kula, and Gana designates the school which is derived from one teacher ; Kula the succession of teachers in one line; -Sdkha the lines which branch off from each teacher. These terms seem to be disused in modern times, for the four principal divisions called after Nagendra, -ATandra,Nivntti, and Vidy&dhara are generally called Kulas, but also occasionally *SUkhds. They go back to Vagra according to some, to Va^rasena according to others. The modern Ga^Wa appears equivalent with the ancient Ga*a.
