19. If durirg the Pa < g^usan a monk wants to dry or warm (in the sun) his robe, alms-bowl, blanket, broom, or any other utensil,, he is not allowed with- out asking one or many persons to frequent the abodes of householders for the sake of collecting alms, to eat food, &c., to visit temples or leave the house for easing nature, to learn his daily lesson, to lie down with outstretched limbs or stand in some posture. If there is somebody near, one or many persons, then he should say :. ' Sir, please mind this (robe, &c.) while I frequent the abodes of house- holders, &c.

f This list in prose from 1 7 down to 33 is wanting in some MSS. I think that *Sa^Tilya is the same as Skandila, who was president of the council of Mathurd, which seems to have been the rival of that in Valabhl; see notes to my edition of the Kalpa Sfitra, p. 117.

Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 446
He who perfectly understands (what has been said in the preceding lesson) and follows the (faith) to be coveted, should therefore do no sinful act, nor cause others to do one. Perchance he meditates a sin (by an act against only) one (of the six aggregates of lives) ; but he will be guilty (of sin against) every one of the six.

1 Reflect and observe that whether you go to this world or to that beyond, in the whole world those who are discerning beings, who abstain from cruelty*, relinquish karman. They are flesh-subduing, called duty-knowing, upright men, aware that pain results from actions/ Thus say those who have right intuition, (i)

6. During the Pa^usan a collector of alms might ask (the A/rya), ' Sir, is (anything of the just-men- tioned articles) required for the sick man?' he (the A^drya) says, 'Yes, it is/ Then (the sick man) should be asked, ' How much do you require ?'

The Arhat Pin-va, the people's favourite, insti- tuted two epochs in his capacity of a Maker of an end : the epoch relating to generations and the epoch relating to psychical condition ; the former ended in the fourth generation, the latter in the third year of his Kevaliship. (167)

A monk or a nun, seeing food, &c., prepared, should not speak about it in this way : ' This is well executed, finely executed, beautiful, excellent, (so done) or to be done ;' considering well, they should not use such sinful, &c., language. (5)

1 Aybniggam fa Sdaya tammi /A&ne na K\tth&\ \ avitaha/w pappa kheyanne tammi MSammi K\tthti\ \\ These words form a regular floka, which has not been noticed by any commentator, ^ilahka seems to have read vitaha/0 pappa akheyanne, but I consider the reading of our MSS. better, for if we adopt it, /H#a retains the same meaning (viz. control) in both parts of the couplet, while if we adopt -Sllfihka's reading, th&m, must in the one place denote the contrary of what it means in the other i fiddniya, doctrine, lit. to be adopted.
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 489
4 This is a very difficult passage. Connection (sandhi) is ex- plained in different ways, as karmavivara, samyag^ilAnSvftpti, and the state of the soul, which has only temporarily and not thoroughly come to rest. To complete the sentence the commentators add pramddo na jreyase. As the words of the text form the pftda of a jloka, it is probable that something like pamdo neva

one, so for the full one 1 . But he (to whom the faith is preached) will perhaps disrespectfully beat (the preacher). Yet know, there is no good in this (indiscriminate preaching)* (But ascertain before) what sort of man he is, and whom he worships. He is called a hero who liberates the bound, above, below, and in the sideward directions. He always conforms to all knowledge (and renunciation) ; the hero is not polluted by the sin of killing. He is a wise man who perfectly knows the non-killing 2 , who searches after the liberation of the bound. The clever one is neither bound nor liberated ; he should do or leave undone (what the hero does or does not do) ; he should not do what (the hero) leaves undone :
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 128
The fifth precept of the G"ainas is much more compre- hensive than the corresponding one of the Buddhists, but the other precepts are the same, in a different order, as Nos. 1-4 of the Buddhists. The agreement is indeed so striking that it would seem hard to avoid the conclusion that one sect borrowed their precepts from the other. Yet the question whether the Buddhists or the Gainas were the borrowers, would still remain an open one. It can be shown, how- ever, that neither the Buddhists nor the gainas have in this regard anjrjjain t<^ originality, but that both have only adoptedjhejfivg vows ofthc^lftrahmajlic ascetics (sa/wny^- sin). The latter must keep the following five vows 2 :

* The passage closes : ' then he may circumspectly wander from village to village together with the master and teacher (iyariova^- gAya).' But as the master and teacher have not been mentioned before, and will be mentioned in the next Sfitra, it is almost certain that the words in question have been brought over from the next Sfttra, or that they ought to be supplied to all S&tras from the beginning of the third lesson.
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 1726
In that night in which the Venerable Ascetic Mahcivtra was born, there was a divine lustre ori- ginated by many descending and ascending gods and goddesses, and in the universe, resplendent with one light, the conflux of gods occasioned great confusion and noise. (97) 3
