They do not long for sensual pleasures, they do not engage in works. All that (the heretics) always talk about, is opposed to the right faith. (35)

Excessive pride and deceit, all worldly vanities: all this a wise man knows and renounces, and thus brings about his final Liberation. (36)

Thus I say.

Footnotes

^301:1 The word brahmana (mahana) is here, as in many other passages, a mere honorific title which could be rendered by 'ascetic.'

^301:2 Esiya.

^301:3 Vesiya.

^301:4 Vera = vaira.

^301:5 This verse recurs in Uttaradhyayana VI, 3; above, <page 25>.

^302:1 Poyagarau = potagarayu, i.e. born alive (as elephants, &c.) and born together with the chorion (as cows, &c.)

^302:2 Paliunkana = parikunkana, i.e. maya.

^302:3 Bhayana = bhagana, i.e. lobha.

^302:4 Thandilla, i.e. krodha.

^302:5 Ussayana = ukkhraya, i.e. mana. These four passions are named here from the way in which they are supposed to act upon the soul. Similar names occurred above, <page 248>, notes -.

^302:6 Palimantha.

^303:1 Ashtapada. This does not necessarily, in this place, mean chess-board, but any game played on a similar chequered board may be intended. The earliest unmistakable mention of chess, that I have met with, occurs in Ratnakara's Haravigaya XII, 9, a mahakavya written in the first half of the ninth century A. D. in Kashmir.--Another explanation of atthavayam is arthapadam = arthasastram 'means of acquiring property.'

^304:1 The last part of this verse is here repeated from the preceding ones; but it is quite out of place here.

^304:2 Here apparently ended the original treatise; the following verses are not directly connected with it.

^304:3 Maitthanam, always rendered matristhanam. I think it is a regular corruption for mayasthanam. The second syllable of the word becomes short before two consonants, and then the ya was changed into i with which it is almost interchangeable.

^304:4 The four kinds of speech are (1) true speech, (2) untrue speech, (3) speech partly true and partly untrue, (4) speech which is neither true nor untrue, see part i, p. 150.--Inaccurate statements are intended here.

^305:1 Hola, which is said to be a Desi word of abuse. The same word occurs also in the Akaranga Sutra, see part i, p. 151, where I translated it by 'loon.'

^305:2 According to Silanka: (he should not join) the sports of the children of a village, nor amuse himself too long.
