^229:2 Two MSS. (A and D) insert after verses 245 the following two verses: The longest interval between a Graiveyika's leaving his rank in Anata, &c., and being again born to it, is an endless time, the shortest is from two to nine years. In the case of Anuttara gods the longest interval is a Sagaropama plus one Samkhyeya, the shortest is from two to nine years.

^229:3 Naya.

^229:4 The last self-mortification, samlekhana, which is to end with death, is intended here. Some details about it will be found in part i, p. 74 ff.

^230:1 Vigai-nigguhana. The meaning is that at the end of his fasts a monk should eat akamla, nirvikritika, &c. In the Avakuri a verse from the Nisithakurni is quoted, which gives the same rule for the second four years.

^230:2 Ayama = akamla. Is this the same thing as the ayamaga = akamaka mentioned XV, 13? See above, <page 72>, note .

^230:3 Kodisahiyam ayamam = kotisahitam akamlam. The commentators give two explanations of this phrase: (1) Having fasted one day, one should take akamla on the next day; (2) one should on the second day continue to abstain from akamla.

^230:4 The definition of these technical terms is given below, verses 262 ff.

^231:1 Alokana = sramanaphalam. The Avakuri renders the last phrase: 'They are able to bring about the salvation of others.' The original, however, has soum, to hear.'

^231:2 The Abhiyogidevas are genii who serve the gods. This Bhavana leads to being born as an Abhiyogideva; the next two Bhavanas, as a Kilvishadeva and an Asura.

^232:1 Uttaragghae in the original. The commentators give uttara here the meaning pradhana, 'best, prominent.' The same explanation is given by the scholiast on the Nandi (Weber, Sacred Literature of the Jains, p.124). Perhaps the name refers to the tradition that Mahavira recited at the time of his death the thirty-six aputtha-vagaranaim, which are identified by one commentator of the Kalpa Sutra (Lives of the Ginas, section 147) with the Uttaradhyayana; for uttara also means 'last.'

^232:2 Bhavasiddhiya = bhavasiddhika, explained by bhavya.
