Jaina Sutras Part I, passage 618
Those are called naked, who in this world, never returning (to a worldly state), (follow) my religion according to the commandment. This highest doc- trine has here been declared for men. Delighted with this, destroying that (i.e. the effect *of works), he will successively 5 give up sinfulness 6 , after having come to a knowledge of it.

' If (the food) be of good or bad smell, or if dreadful beasts inflict pain on (other) beings'

(5) This deprives him of happiness and perfect wisdom- About this he is informed when he has understood and heard from the Revered One, or from the monks, the faith to be coveted. There are some who, of a truth, know this (i. e. injuring) to be the bondage, the delusion, the death, the hell.

I say still more im- probable, because, firstly, the Sa#my&sin makes part of the system of the four stages, or A^ramas, which if not so old as Brahmanism itself, is at least much older than both Buddhism and Gainism ; secondly, the Brahmanic ascetics were scattered all over India, while the Buddhists were

A monk or a nun on a begging-tour might, of the received quantity of food, eat only the sweet- smelling parts and reject the bad-smelling ones. As this would be sinful, they should not do so ; but they should consume everything, whether it be sweet smelling or bad smelling, and reject nothing. (4)

Thus they are not well taught, not well instructed in the reli- gion such as it has been declared by the Revered One, who knows and sees with quick discernment. (One should either instruct the opponent in the true faith) or observe abstinence as regards speech. Thus I say. (3)
