^414:3 Pinnagapindi. The commentators explain pinnaga ( = pinyaka) by khala, and pindi by bhinnaka (?) or sakala. Silanka gives the following explanation. During a struggle with savage men (mlekkha) some one runs away and throws his cloak off on a granary. An enemy in pursuit of that man mistakes it for him and takes hold of it, together with the part of the granary.--This interpretation looks absurd; but it will appear not so if we remember that granaries are beehive-shaped reservoirs made of sun-baked mud or wattle and mud; compare Grierson, Bihar Peasant Life, p. 17.

^414:4 Milakkhu = mlekkha.

^415:1 Punnakhandha = punyaskandha.

^415:2 Aroppa. This is apparently derived from Arupa as rendered in the text. Arupadhatu is the highest heaven of the Buddhists; compare Burnouf, Le Lotus de la Bonne Loi, p. 807.

^415:3 Urala = udara, here explained nissara, void of sense.

^416:1 Anubhae = anubhagah, explained karmavipaka.

^416:2 Anudharma.

^416:3 Iha samyatanam, who control themselves in this (creed of the Gainas).

^416:4 Khannapadopagivin.

^416:5 I.e. the Gainas.

^417:1 Samadhi.

^417:2 Anihe.

^417:3 Snataka, cf. Manu XI, 1.

^417:4 Kulalaya = kulata, explained margara. Another explanation is: who live (alaya) in houses.

^417:5 Nisam, literally, night.

^417:6 Silanka calls this opponent an Ekadandin, and ascribes to him the views of the Sankhya philosophy. But it is evident from the sequel that he is a Vedantin, as the commentators admit in their comment on the next verse.

^418:1 Pessa = preshya, literally, servants or slaves.

^418:2 The Hastitapasas are thus named from the fact that they kill an elephant and live upon its flesh for a whole year or for six months, as Silanka adds, explaining thus the words avi ya (api ka) after samvakkharena. The Hastitapasas are mentioned in a list of the different Tapasas in the Aupapatika Sutra, ed. Leumann, section 74.

^419:1 Buddhassa anai.
