Footnotes

^180:2 This lecture offers many difficulties to the translator, as it contains scarcely more than a dry list of articles of the Gaina faith. To fully understand or interpret it would require an accurate knowledge of the complete religious system of the Gainas, to which we can lay no claim at present. The order in which the articles are given follows the number of their subdivisions. In some cases the number is not given in the Sutra, but is supplied by the commentary.

^181:1 Compare XIX, 91, and XXX, 3. Hurtful acts (danda) are threefold, as referring to thoughts, words, and acts; conceited acts (garava), as pride of riches, of taste (rasa), and of pleasure or fashion (sata); delusive acts (salya), as maya, nidana, and mithyadarsana.
