In that period, in that age the Venerable Ascetic Mahavira, in the town of Ragagriha, in the Kaitya Gunasilaka, surrounded by many monks and nuns, by many men and women of the laity, by many gods and goddesses, said thus, spoke thus, declared thus, explained thus; he proclaimed again and again the Lecture called Paryushanakalpa with its application, with its argumentation, with its information, with its text, with its meaning, with both text and meaning, with the examination of the meaning.

Thus I say. (64)

^299:2 Pikka is the reading of the commentaries.

^299:3 Cf. Akaranga Sutra II, I, 7, section 7. The definitions given in our commentary are the following: the first is water mixed with flour, or water used for washing the hands after kneading flour; the second, water with which squeezed leaves, &c. are sprinkled; the third, water used for washing threshed and winnowed rice (tandula).

^300:1 Akaranga Sutra II, 1, 7, section 8. The first is water used for washing sesamum, or, in Maharashtra, husked sesamum; the second, water used for washing rice, &c. (vrihyadi); the third, water used for washing barley.

^300:2 The commentator says that the body of monks who fast longer than four days is usually inhabited by a deity; this seems to denote, in our language, mental derangement as a consequence of starving oneself.

^300:3 Datti. The commentator does not explain this word. It seems to denote the quantity of food or drink which is given by one man.

^300:4 The one donation of salt is meant to make up the five donations to which the monk confines himself. But he should not reckon the donations of food above the fixed number as donations of drink if the latter have not yet reached the fixed number.
