^88:5 This is the typical conclusion of all prohibitions: aphasuyam anesaniggam ti mannamane labhe samte no padiggahegga. In the translation the plural is used throughout, in order to avoid the necessity of always repeating 'he or she.'

^88:6 As e. g. total want of another opportunity to get suitable food during famine and sickness.

^89:1 Pounded or cooked or roasted, &c., because after only one operation sperms of life might still be left.

^90:1 These are the vikarabhumi and viharabhumi.

^90:2 Purisamtarakada. I have rendered this word according to the interpretation of the commentators; but in a similar passage, 8, 3, section section 2 and 3, they understand the word to mean appropriated by another person.
