Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 1721
Bathing, makingofferings to the house-gods, perform- ing auspicious rites and expiatory acts, and adorning herself with all ornaments, theKshatriy#!Trisal&kept off sickness, sorrow, fainting, fear, and fatigue by food and clothing, perfumes and garlands, which were not too cold nor too hot, not too bitter nor too pungent, not too astringent nor too sour nor too swe.et, not too smooth nor too rough, not too wet nor too dry, but all just suiting the season.
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 880
A monk or a nun, hearing or being told of some festivity, might hasten there, rejoicing inwardly : 'There will be an entertainment, sure enough!' It is impossible to get there from other families alms which are acceptable and given out of respect for "the cloth 1 , and to eat the meal. As this would lead to sin, they should not do it 2 . But they should enter there, and getting from other families their alms, should eat their meal. (3)
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 2034
1 I deviate from the interpretation of the commentators, who give veuv viyd (or veu//iyd v. 1.), which I have rendered ' for occasional use/ the sense of ' repeatedly/ But as they give sSi^iya the meaning 'used/ and as the practice justifies my translation, I am rather confident about the correctness of my conjecture. The practice, as related by the commentator, is this: The Upairaya where the monks live must be swept in the morning, when the monks go out begging, at noon, and in the afternoon at the end of the third prahara ; the other two Upa^rayas must be daily inspected, lest somebody else occupy them, and be swept every third day.

Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 609
There are said to be blind beings dwelling in darkness ; once or frequently meeting this lot, they experience pleasant and unpleasant feelings. This has been declared by the awakened ones. (3) There are beings endowed with voice, with taste, water- beings dwelling in water, beings living in the air : 4 beings torment beings. See the great danger in this world 1 ;' many pains (are the lot) of the creatures. Men who are given to their lusts, come to destruc- tion through their weak, frail body.

In that period, in that age lived the Arhat y?/shabha, the Ko^alian *, four important moments of whose life happened when the moon was in con- junction with the asterism Uttar&shu/M; the fifth, when in conjunction with Abhi^it : (204) in Uttari- shu///a he descended from heaven, &c. (all down to) in Abhi^it he obtained final liberation. (205)
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 1298
The Kevalin says : This is the reason : In the alms-bowl there might be living beings or seeds or grass. Hence it has been said to the mendicant, &c., that he should closely inspect the interior of the alms-bowl, (n)

1 1 . During the Pagjf usan a monk who collects alms in the hollow of his hand, is not allowe^ to frequent the abodes of householders, &c., if rain 2 , even in the form of a fine spray, falls down. (28) During the Pa"usan a monk who collects alms in the hollow of his hand, is not allowed to stay anywhere except in a house after having accepted alms, for it might begin to rain. But he should eat a part, and put back the rest (if it then begins to rain), covering his hand with the other hand, and laying it on his bosom or hiding it under his armpit 3 ; then he should go to^ well-covered (places), to a cave or the foot of a tree, where no water or drops of water or spray of water falls in his hand. (29)
Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 38
Ambapali possessed a park, Ambapalivana, which she bequeathed on Buddha and the community. From there he went to Vesali, where he converted the general-in-chief (of the Li/Wy/avis), a lay-disciple of the Nirgranthas (or <7aina monks). Now it is highly probable that the Ko/ig- gama of the Buddhists is identical with the Ku/^aggama of the G*ainas.

comprehend and renounce the sinful acts; he who does not injure these, comprehends and renounces the sinful acts.

4 I shall become a .Srama#a who owns no house, no property, no sons, no cattle, who eats what others give him ; I shall commit no sinful action ; Master, I renounce to accept anything that has not been given/ Having taken such vows, (a mendicant) should not, on entering a village or scot-free town, &c., take him- self, or induce others to take, or allow others to take, what has not been given. A mendicant should not take or appropriate any property, viz. an umbrella * or vessel or stick, &c. (see II, 2, 3, 2), of those monks together with whom he stays, without getting their permission, and without having inspected and wiped (the object in question) ; but having got their permission, and having inspected and wiped (the ob- ject in question), he may take or appropriate it 3 , (i)

Now follows the third rule for begging food. In the east, &c., there are several faithful householders, &c., (all down to) servants : they have put (food) in some of their various vessels, as a pan, a pot, a winnowing basket, a basket, a precious vessel. Now (the mendicant) should again know : is the hand not wet and the vessel wet ; or the hand wet and the vessel not wet ? If he collect alms with an alms-bowl or with his hand' 2 , he should say, after considera- tion : ' O long-lived one ! (or, O sister !) with your not- wet hand, or with your wet vessel, put (alms) in this my bowl, or hand, and give it me !' Such-like food, for which he himself begs or which the other gives him, he may accept ; for it is pure and acceptable. That is the third rule for begging food. (5)

(passim) ; and Professor Kern, in his History of Buddhism iBJtadici. In order to show to what extenFthe life of ^aina monks is but an imitation of the life of the Brahmanic ascetics, I shall now compare the rules given to the latter in Gautama's and BaudhAyana's law-books 1 with the rules for Gaina monks. In most cases the Buddhists conform to the same rules ; this will also be briefly noticed.

Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 46
From all this it appears that SiddMrtha was no king, nor even the head of his clan, bvit in all probability only exercised the degree of authority which in the East usually falls to the share of land- owners, especially of those belonging to the recognised aristocracy of the country. Still he may have enjoyed a greater influence than many of his fellow-chiefs ; for he is recorded to have been highly connected by marriage. His wife Trurala was sister to /Te/aka, king of VaLrfQl 1 .

The commentator explains the passage in question in two different ways, and at another place a third explanation is given. This inconsistency of opinion proves that there was no distinct tradition as to the real meaning of Vaualika, and so we are justified in entirely ignoring the arti- ficial explanations of the later Gainas.
