^145:3 It is here called gokkhaga = gukkhaka, originally a bunch of peacocks' feathers, it is so still, if I am not mistaken, with the Digambaras, whilst the Svetambaras use other materials, especially cotton threads.

^145:4 Much in my translation is conjectural. There are some technicalities in these verses which I fail to understand clearly, notwithstanding the explanations of the scholiasts.

^145:5 Vedika.

^146:1 I am not sure of having hit the true meaning. The commentators reckon this counting as a fault, while the text itself seems to enjoin it.

^146:2 Dei pakkakkhanam. The meaning is, I believe, that during the time of inspection one should not make up one's mind to abstain from this or that because one is to devote one's whole attention to the inspection of one's things.

^146:3 The Dipika places this verse before the last and construes it with verse 29, making out the following meaning: if one, engaged in inspecting his things, converses or gossips, &c., then, being careless in the inspection, he injures, &c.

^147:1 Iriyatthae; for one will not be careful about walking (irya-samiti) if too hungry or thirsty.

^148:2 According to the Dipika: having repeated the three Gathas beginning ariyauvagghaya.

^148:3 This verse is the same as verse 18, except a verbal difference in the last line.

TWENTY-SEVENTH LECTURE.

THE BAD BULLOCKS.

There was a Sthavira and Ganadhara , the learned sage Garga. This leader of the Gana once made the following reflections: (1)

'He who rides in a car, crosses a wilderness; he

who rides, as it were, in (the car of) religious exercise, crosses the Samsara. (2)

'But he who puts bad bullocks before his car, will be tired out with beating them; he will feel vexation, and his goad will be broken (at last). (3)

'(A bad bullock) will bite its mate in the tail; it will wound the other ; it will break the pin of the yoke , or it will leave the road. (4)

'It will fall down on its side, or sit down, or lie down; it will jump up or caper, or it will obstinately make for a young cow. (5)

'It will furiously advance with its head lowered for an attack, or angrily go backward; it will stand still as if dead, or run at full speed. (6)

'The cursed beast will rend asunder the rope, or in its unruliness break the yoke; and roaring it will break loose and run off. (7)
