This is clearly evident from the very title: Worte Mahaviras. Kritische Ubersetzungen aus dem Kanon der Jaina ("Mahavira's Words. Critical Translations from the Canon of the Jainas"), Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1926. In it Schubring strives to be as faithful to the original texts as a translation possibly can be. He translates the texts as they are, with any insertion being clearly marked (in brackets), including the simple addition of a verb "to be" which is commonly left out in Prakrit and Sanskrit. The original intention was to do a 'simple' English translation of the work and, by and large, to try and be as sincere to Schubring as he was to the texts he translated. However, any work such as this cannot ignore the fact that not only does a 1926 publication (still available today!) have to be brought up to date in many respects (e.g., with regard to references, bibliography, etc.), but also that the translation should in some way take cognizance of relevant work done in the field of Jaina studies. Without the spontaneous help of Professor Willem Bollee particularly in this regard, the intended 'simple translation would hardly have been useful. Thanks to Prof. Bollee's expert involvement the translation has been raised to a level that can truly be termed academic, in keeping with Schubring's original scholarship. Prof. Bollee not only improved several expressions, but added his vast knowledge to the basic translation I had done. This will be evident from the numerous additions made within angle brackets (..), including the footnotes which have been added in the same way: (fr. no.), and often acknowledging him in the form: (WB). This is in addition to Appendix 4 with Prof. Bollee's additions to footnotes, intended especially for the longer footnotes and other relevant information. In other words, it is befitting that the work now appears with two translators. We tried to retain Schubring's form of presentation in most cases. Some differences and noteworthy points in this context are: 1. apart from the overview of the canon in Schubring's Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ VIII foreword all text titles have been given in italics (and not only the group names of texts such as Anga, Uvanga, etc.); 2. the footnotes are supplied in sequence for each chapter (or several chapters together), as against Schubring's numbering per page; 3. in a few cases a new paragraph seemed necessary (e.g., on Schubring's p. 18); 4. all insertions by the translators have been done using angle brackets ....) (including Schubring's page numbers), in order not to confuse these with Schubring's own insertions in square brackets [...]; 5. as already said, footnotes that have such angle brackets (e.g., 3), are thanks to Professor Bollee's added contribution; 6. in a few selected cases some of Schubring's footnotes have been integrated into the text, especially where just one word is given in the footnote; 7. for practical purposes a footnote has often been repeated in full, instead of merely giving the reference to it; 8. Schubring has spaced the letters of some words in order to highlight them as being important for a section or chapter; this too has been done here. In his other renowned work Lehre der Jainas (p. 26, fn. 7), published later in 1935, Schubring makes a correction which has been included here, on p. 26, and indicated it by doubleunderlining it. Professor Bollee had discovered this. Further, Professor Bollee is in possession of Schubring's valuable personal copy of the book translated here in which Schubring made several changes, corrections and/or additions in pencil. These we have indicated here also by double-underlining them, in many cases by adding: "Schubring's personal copy". (The corrigenda on p. x of the German original have been silently included here.) Some changes have also been taken over from Leumann's review of Schubring's book. Schubring adopted these in his personal copy and they have been included here (see the English translation of Leumann's review in Appendix 2). All the texts which Schubring chose to translate into German, and published in 1926, had already been translated into English by Hermann Jacobi in his Jaina Sutras in two volumes, published in 1884 and 1895 (42 and 31 years earlier), to which Schubring himself refers in several places. Schubring says at the beginning of his foreword that his "intention was to present a philological critique of the texts" and this "in German and in a special garb". In his introduction, p. li, vol. 1, Jacobi indicates that he used the Pali Text Society edition of the Acaranga Sutra (Ayaranga Sutta), whereas Schubring says in his foreword that he partly used Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ IX his 1910 edition of the Bambhaceraim of the Ayara (supplied in Appendix 1 here). For the Suyagada Schubring used primarily the 1879 edition. For the sake of convenience the sutra numbers of the 1917 Bombay edition have been added to Schubring's references to his Acaranga Sutra. Further, scholars dealing with the Suyagada in detail can, for a comparison of Schubring's and Jacobi's translations, profit a great deal by also drawing upon Professor Bollee's work (Bollee 1977 and 1988), especially because of the extensive use of the old commentaries. Any translation from the German sometimes requires keeping to the German word order; this is the reason why the sentence structure in some places may be a bit strained and strange. Further, such an undertaking is not possible without the help of native speakers. I thank in the first place my wife Luitgard Soni who most willingly went through my translation with me to make sure that the meaning of the German was not lost. Then Felix Otter, a graduate student, checked my translation of the addition on pp. 17-21. Professor Bollee finally went through everything, dotting the i's and crossing the t's, and adding his very useful information. It is hoped that in cases of any doubt the reader can consult the original Prakrit and then compare our English rendering of Schubring's German. The final impetus to undertake this project came from Dr Jithoo Bhai Shah of Ahmedabad. I thank him for the encouragement and motivation necessary to enable such a task, and for readily agreeing to publish the work. Professor Adelheid Mette very kindly made Ludwig Alsdorf's personal copy of Schubring's book available to the translators. This made it possible to include several useful remarks which Alsdorf wrote in the margin of his copy. Moreover, Mr Paul Dundas of Edinburgh University kindly offered his expertise in the field of Jaina studies by going through the completed translation and giving us his valuable 'second opinion'. It is hoped that this English translation of Schubring's German will be welcomed, if not only to facilitate a comparison with Jacobi in the interpretation of the texts, but also for the added wealth of information given by Schubring in his philological critique of the texts.

Schubring Page #15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Schubring's Foreword Thanks to the highly valued cooperation of the Religionswissenschaftliche Kommission of the Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Gottingen, and the Notgemeinschaft Deutscher Wissenschaft, critical translations from the Svetambara-Jaina canon can be presented in the following pages. They are based partly on my edition of the Bambhaceraim of the Ayara of 1910. My view that one can approach this quite puzzling text only by differentiating it from the sources and by a regrouping is still the same. To a translation based on it, which was immediately suggested to me to undertake, but which was done only several years later, came other sections of the canon afterwards. Aspects of the Bambhaceraim partly appear in them, albeit to a lesser degree. My intention was to present a philological critique of these texts. The consequence of the aforementioned most kind help is that the venerable words of Mahavira and his disciples can obtain the deserved value among the sources of the history of religions, and this in German and in a special garb. That the ancient works of the Jainas have been particularly subject to deterioration, and the fact that Hermann Jacobi chose from among them the most important (ones) for religious studies for his English translation in the Sacred Books of the East volumes XXII (1884) and XLV (1895), explains why here too, as in the above mentioned edition, I am following the same path which he as a pioneer prepared 42 and 31 years ago. Whereas nothing was to be added to the new resources I had used already in 1910 for the Ayara, for the Suyagada I received the cunni, which the Bhandarkar Oriental Institute in Poona kindly sent me together with other manuscripts presenting the tradition of the Dasao (1887-91, Nr. 1288). This is an old but undated transcript on paper, which unfortunately so Schubring 1910. My German rendering of the basic teachings of the Jainas in a systematic arrangement is to appear in 1927 in Religionsgeschichtliches Lesebuch (pp. iv-33, Kleine Schriften, pp. 71-107). A pothi edition with the Acarangacurni of Jinadasa was published in Ratlam in 1941 (WB). Page #17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring distorts the original that Silanka's viti is indispensable for the wording and meaning. The author is not mentioned. He cannot be the same as the author of the Aydra-Cunni, because in it the Sanskrit plays a much lesser role than here. The cunni on the verses of the Sayagada had often and deliberately read them differently from the text familiar to us; however, only a part of these discrepancies are of the kind which may be important in a translation. The translation does not aim at aesthetic charm; a presentation in a high-flown or archaic language is ruled out by the additions which are essential for the understanding of it and, further, the relation to contemporary language is often closer than one at first might think. Of course, the ambiguous stanzas especially are often open to a different interpretation from the one I have decided to take. As far as this is concerned details may be readily dispensed with if the described basic view is untouched. XII The reprint of the canon by the Agamodayasamiti in Mhesana also contains the Lyara and the Sayagada. Nonetheless, I prefer when the need arises, to refer to the edition of samv. 1936 (-1879) sponsored by Raya Dhanapati Simha (Acar. = Acaravrtti). By way of an appendix to this foreword, as the basis for the introductory sketch of its classification and origin, I am supplying an overview of the Svetambara canon. 4 The Sutrakrtangacurni by Jinadasa was published in Ratlam (1941) and the first part edited by Muni Punyavijaya in Ahmedabad: Prakrit Text Society Series No. 19, 1975. The status of the available MSS of the second part is not at all conducive to a critical edition (D. Malvania in a letter to W. Bollee). Jinadasa is just a name like Brahmadatta for the king of Banaras (WB).

Page #19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Page #20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas It must have been in the first quarter of the sixth century CE that the city of Vala, called Valabhi in Sanskrit, in the peninsula of Kathiawad in Gujarat, was witness to a religious conference of the "white" Jainas. Under the presidency of Devarddhi, one of their leaders, an attempt was made in the assemblies of believers to fix the wording of the sacred texts and this brought about their written reproduction. In this way the testimonies of Mahavira's teaching, almost a thousand years-according to the tradition-after the passing away of the master"", were saved from the process of liquidation. Since then the canon of the white-clothed ones has remained essentially unchanged. After the Anga and the group of Uvanga correlated to them, the "limbs" and the "subsidiary limbs" of the sacred teaching, sermonizing, glorifying, narrative and classifying texts, follow the Painna, the "mixed writings". These also partly deal with subjects of the teaching, partly describe and praise the religious duties but, almost without exception, in a verse form. This group of shorter texts, in contrast to the former, is not strictly limited in its number; to these is also to be added a variety of works, not all of which we possess. The conclusion of a first half, as we might say, of the canon constitutes the collection of rules for the life in community, the precepts and prohibitions, a group of texts which is named after the religious punishment (cheya), the Cheya-sutta. The other much smaller half of the canon is evidently designed with educative intent. It begins with two largely epistemological critical works called Nandi and Anuogadara, as an introduction into the world of ideas of the teaching; connected to it is a list of contents and names of texts, which are kept general and viewed dogmatically.2 Following this is the last group, that of the Mula-sutta which, according to its name, is meant for those who are just at the beginning (mula) of their religious career. The contents correspond to it: in two cases (Uttarajjhaya and Dasaveyaliya) the contents are a selected and purposefully arranged series of instructive and edifying surveys of duty and knowledge, in both For a discussion about Mahavira's date see Bechert 1983, Mette 1991a and Dundas 2002: 24f. (WB). 2 The inclusion of Nandi and Anuogadara in the group of the Painna contradicts their essentially rather uniform content and the average size of the individual texts. Page #21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring nes. the others, rather extensive teachings (nijjutti) of specific matters of practice, such as the formulae (avassaga) repeatedly to be employed daily for reverence (2) and devotion, and the kind of food (pinda). Although very significant in its whole range, this literature generally counted as 45 texts, is nonetheless to be compared to an ancient city, in which some structures arise from the early period apparently undamaged, others revealing extensions and additions, whereas in some cases new walls are erected on the old foundation walls, and again other houses coming down to us only as an uncertain echo of their name and designation. Now, just as an expert of antiquity wanders through such a city and tries to determine for every part of the building its age, designation and relation to the rest by means of the transmitted plan of the place, or on the strength of his own experience, so too we might attempt to sketch the Svetambara canon as what has been superimposed and has coexisted from different times. There are different ways which could be taken for this. If we begin by observing the works in a purely verse form, then it has been long known that, in contrast to other metres, the arya gained command in the canon and undisputedly exercises it in the post-canonical, commentary literature. The latter is already indicated by designating the two Mulasuttas as nijjuttis, but they differ from their oldest strata, the nijjutti of Bhadrabahu, in such a way that they are concerned with particular subjects, not with an interpretation of canonical texts with varying contents. The place of the Pindanijjutti in the Siddhanta is challenged by the Ohanijjutti which, although dealing with different themes, is also however not based on a specific work. One comes across this blurring of the border in the affiliation to the canon also in the group of the Cheyasutta. Jinabhadra's gaha poem Jiyakappa is regarded by some as belonging to it, and it might well in fact be so with the same rights as of the Pancakappa, which although not yet known without the draping of a commentary, is undoubtedly included in the Siddhanta. Just as with the Cheyasutta the Painna too, and these as "mixed pieces", are predictably open to addenda. But one can disregard this and still find pure gaha works in the strictly classified Painna. Devindatthaya, Viratthaya and Candavijjhaya* form one group in this regard; Causarana, stanzas 9ff., Aurapaccakkhana, Bhattaparinna, Samthara, and Mahapaccakkhana belong JA Pancakappa-bhasa is known (Jesalmer Catalogue, p. 42) and a P.-cunni (ibid. and Deccan College Library), the latter a work by Amradeva. The name of the text comes from the presentation of monachism as of five kinds, which is set at 6, 7, 10, 20 and 42 fold. This is the Candraka-vedhyaka, "the eyeball to be pierced" = "hitting the bull's-eye", by changing the members of the compound. According to Yasodeva on Pakkhiyasutta 63b it corresponds to candrak'avedhyaka; in the text itself 127f. and Aurapacc. 54, Samth. 122 it reads candagavijjha. Page #22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas together with regard to their content and even agree with one another in the occasional use of slokas; the number of slokas in (3) the work on astrology, Ganivijja, is noteworthy. A chronological classification of the above-mentioned Painna works naturally cannot be made from this point of view alone. If we nonetheless keep it in mind, then we see the arya metre appearing in several ancient Uttarajjhaya, whereas the other sample selection, Sejjambhava's Dasaveyaliya, shows it only secondarily." In contrast to this its appearance is much more significant, although on the whole only by way of an addition, whereby Namipavvajja (Utt. 9) with its introduction and connecting stanzas in arya quite clearly testifies to a change of taste. The mixture of metres that appears here is noticeable more often in the Uttarajjhaya. Apart from Utt. 9, sloka and tristubh," are found together with arya in Utt. 13; sloka and tristubh combine. four times, which latter combination is also frequent in the Dasaveyaliya. Nevertheless, both texts show the sloka predominating. Whereas in the Suyagada' (in which poems with mixed metres are completely absent) 7 pure sloka chapters are set against 8 pure tristubh chapters, the relation in the Uttarajjhayd is 23 to 2 and about 7 to 3 in the Dasaveyaliya. The (three) precursors of the common arya in these ancient texts, including the Bambhacerdim, are the vaitaliya in Suy. I 2, Utt. 10, the aupacchandasaka (combined with vaitaliya and occasionally tristubh-padas), in Utt. 15 and Dasav. 10, out of which the latter two belong together because of the constant verse-end sa bhikkhu, and the old form of the arya in Bambh. 9, Suy. I 4 and Utt. 8. But already in this early period the arya becomes noticeable in a preliminary way, since every now and then in the place of odd-numbered sloka-padas there appear padas of six or seven syllables, instead of eight, moreover, eight-syllabic beginnings. which have an arya rhythm, especially because of their middle amphibrach." A precursor to the arya is also the vedha. This was first discovered in the Samosarana, Jinacariya and Ukkhitta-naya of Anga 6 and described," but is found in the canon also in the 3 5 Dasav. 10, 11a conclusion, 12 (the additional chapter), 1-4. 4, 10 is probably changed from annani kim karissai, an odd-numbered vaitaliya-pada. 5, 1, 33f. is a quotation. Tristubh and jagati are counted together here. 'The Ayara has to be excluded. 8 Cf. the author's edition p. 55 and also Ayara p. 3, line 7; 20, 9; 24, 3. 4; 25, 2. (See Appendix 1 for Schubring's ed. of the text). "Jacobi 1885, 389ff. (Kleine Schriften, pp. 205ff.); see also Schubring 1923, pp. 189f. (Kleine Schriften, pp. 285f.).

II 2, 66.12 Even here the arya shines forth. In Samosarana SS I the vannaya (description), "city", begins: riddha-tthimiya-samiddha, pamuiya-jana-janavaya, ainna-jana-manasa, to which the first vedha introduced by hala-sayasahassa joins. Immediately thereafter follows ucchu-jayasali-kaliya (equal to the vedha: ucchu-jaya-sali-maliniya), and a bit later visattha-suh 'avasa between numbers 6 and 7 in Jacobi's list." The compounds quoted here are each in the triple rhythm of an arya. Similar ones appear everywhere in accompaniment to the vedha" and this accordingly is not a product of chance, nor even a subsequent interpolation; as Jacobi has rightly noticed, only complete half gahas appear as interpolations," namely, those which can be removed from the text. 4 The absence of a structure according to stanzas based on different lengths of the vedha gives a vedha text the character of rhythmic prose (just as the commentaries deal with them)," 10 But not in Nayas 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 and 15. The vedhas of the other Nayas which do not appear in Uvav., Jin. and Naya 1, SSSS 1-146 (Steinthal), appear in the new edition on folios (errors excepted): 78a!, 79a!b, 92a!, 96b, 98b, 99b, 126b, 130b, 133b!, 134b, 135b?, 140b, 157a!, 160b!, 173b!, 179a, 205b!, 209a, 211b!, 213a! and 2186. For the use of "!" see footnote 14 below. 11 Most convenient is Weber 1883, pp. 266f. But a comparison with the new edition (folios 109b ff. (Mehesana 1918, repr. Delhi 1965)) is indispensable. 12 Suy. II, 1, 13ff. (see for this Bollee 1977, pp. 131ff.) is merely a quotation. (In the margin of his personal copy Schubring wrote here: "Jivabhigama" WB.) 13 The numbers in Jacobi 1885, p. 410 are to be increased by 1 after 4, because ceiya-ayaraitta-juvaivisamnivittha is also obtained through a contextual transposition. Elsewhere too some things (more appropriate) have to be added to the list. 14 For the Samos. the following SSSS are to be noted: 2 (la'u, uvaciya-); 4 (abbhintara-, bahira-, occhanna); 11 (purisa-, sayan 'a; 12 (sukumala-); 32 (samsara-, asa-, samana); 33 (vam 'e, culamani- and hara-); [38] (vavagaya-); 38 (aviddha-). Cp. for others in Jin. the SSSS 10, 14, 32, 36; the same in Naya 1 SSSS 32, 112, 122, 138. Samos. SS 16 says siddhigai-namadhejjam and SS 17 nhae kaya-balikamme, without a vedha between more expanded prose, not that this might be a proof against their metrical nature. Even the only occurrence in Suy. has in nicc 'andhayara-tamasa a triple rhythm next to it. For the triple rhythm in Naya see fn. 10 above where "!" has been inserted; cf. also folio 81b. On folio 213a in gaganam abhilanghayanto, the only nominative in o might be a mistake. 15 For SS 16 anuloma-vau-vege kanka-ggahani kavoya-pariname, the addition is proved because between "joints" and "well-formedness" the reference to "internal winds" (better so than "life-breath"), "stomach mesentery" and "digestion" do not fit. At the beginning of the last paragraph of SS 16 there is, further, as a pathabheda: naga-nagara-magara-sagara-cakk'anka-vas 'anka-mangal'anka-pae (read so instead of mangal' ankiya-calane). Apart from the note on the half gaha of Jin. SS 42, reference is also to be made to Naya 1, folio 73a: chatth 'atthama-dasama-duvalasehi(m) mas 'addhamasa-khamanehim. 16 What they in fact also do in the Ayara, a mixture of prose and sloka or tristubh. Page #24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas and this rhythm is strengthened by a further application of arya parts." It cannot be a coincidence that in the aforementioned Samavaya section the following) places in Weber 1883, are gaha lines, in which the last four or two morae are needed to be complete: p. 294, no. 6: nanaviha-ppagara jivajiva ya vanniya, p. 314, no. 2: samjama-painna (so the edition) palana-dhii-mai-vavasaya-dubbalanam; p. 318, no. 15: jaha jina-mayammil' bohim laddhuna ya samjam' uttamam; p. 325, no. 17: anagara-maharisinam anagara-gunana(m) vannao. On p. 305 (folio 114b of the edition) there are (5) three quarters of a stanza: suravai-sampuiyanam bhaviya-jana-paya (= praja or pada) -hiyayabhinand(iy)anam tama-raya-vidhamsananam. The triple rhythm, on the other hand, appears to have disappeared from the Samavaya, as if now the desire for an arya rhythm had been satisfied in another way. The vedhas display a less regular structure: the sentences are freer, formed partly without care; the general impression is one of deterioration. If one wants to attempt a chronology of the vedha texts, then the Samavaya appendage belongs at the end. To this relative dating it is also true that whereas for all the other Angas, through the uddesana-kala, etc., a study plan is given, such an instruction is completely absent in the Ditthivaya and, moreover, the sub-classification is kept indefinite. Therefore, the twelfth Anga was no longer in front of the author (on this text see Alsdorf 1973). Looking at it statistically the vedha can seriously compete with the gaha in the canon. A reference to vannaya, which above all contain vedhas, is found in quite a few places: in Anga 5-9. 11, Uvanga 2. 5. 6. 8-12, Dasa 5. 9. 10, and it certainly wins when one imagines the hundreds of repetitions hinted at by keywords and mere names as fully expressed. However, those hints are not of much significance. In these texts we do not have to do with authentic vedha texts, but with imitations. The texts are limited to keywords as a means to record the place and persons, probably without realizing that this wording displayed a metrical form, and in this way these false vedha texts are the first prose works we come across along our way through the canon. Their editor, however, not only does not have the obligation to supply these vannaya in detail, but he also generally does justice to the intention of the author by retaining their abridgement. Thus, we notice a period in which good taste demanded beginning with the 17 Weber 1883, p. 276= 112a of the edition, allows one full stanza, called gathavisesa by Abhayadeva (this is a giti) to be restored: sela salila ya samudda-suriya (instead of sura-bhavana)-vimana-agara-nadio nihao purisa-ijaya sara ya gotta ya joi-samcala. * This locative in ammi belonging to the gaha has intruded the vedhas of the Samavaya, cf. sasanammi on p. 314, no. 19; p. 315, nos. 5 and 117a of the edition. The nominative in e, on the other hand, has been retained, whereas the gahas show only the o (also Ayar. II 15, IX, read maudo). Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring model offered in the Samosarana, and this without taking into consideration whether the sequence justified this beginning. For, although this anyway fits in before narratives, a wide gap becomes noticeable with dogmatic presentations, such as the Surapannati and Jambuddivapannatti, and the mechanical application becomes strongly evident. It has already been mentioned that there are "false" vedha texts in the canon in frequent repetitions. They serve in the first place as fillers of a content full of gaps. A summarizing of similar material in "tens", dasa, became popular quite early." It was perhaps the Ayaradasao in which this first happened, because they alone are also called Dasao, without any differentiating specification. None of these tens in the canon is complete insofar as we are correct in demanding that the parts of the ten should strive towards different albeit similar intent. In the Ayaradasao (6) itself, in the eighth and tenth dasa, pieces appear which are alien to the content, in which the Pajjosavanakappa (which according to Thana 10 once formed the eighth dasa by itself), and the Ayaitthana, completely differ from their context. When we turn further to the narrative works, however, then (we see that) in the Uvasagadasao the ninth and tenth legends are the same as the first under different names. In the Nirayavaliydao, Kappavadimsiyao, Pupphaculao and Vanhidasao brothers, sons, goddesses and princes have to help to bring the number, on the pattern of the first section of the teaching, to ten or twelve (in the Vanhidasao). In Anga 6 the past history and future of the goddess Kali was used as a dhammakaha without considering its negligible suitability. To serve for the restoration of the balance of both parts of the Nayadhammakahao the co-wives and the wives of all the other princes of this class of gods, the Vanamantara rulers, the gods of the stars Canda and Sura and the lords of heaven Sakka and Isana were placed next to this wife (Kali) of the Bhavanavasi prince Camara 205 times (see Weber 1883, p. 312 and Schubring 1935, SS 46/6, WB). According to Thana10 the Vivagasuya entailed ten chapters20 (which is why it is called. Kammavivagadasao there), whereas today twenty of them are extant. This extension was undertaken for the purpose of presenting the reward for previous merit against the dire conse 6 19 To what extent dasa was also understood as "fringe" appendage has to remain uncertain. 20 The correspondence with the text today goes further than what was supposed by Weber 1883, p. 270 because, apart from the pieces 1. 4. 6-8, Gottasa, anda, mahana and sahas'uddaha (so with B), i.e., "or" 2. 3. 5 and 9 are also still extant. 21 This designation should be preferred, but it is dictated by use. It seems that suya refers only to smaller texts, cp. Uvahanasuya Bambhac. 8 and Weber 1885, p. 88. Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas quences of previous debt.22 The first example of the new section, which moreover differs in structure from the earlier (section), is repeated nine times with changed persons and places, so that it makes up the desired figure of ten. This is attained in the same way in the Pupphiyao. The Antagadadasao and the Anuttarovavoiyadasao show groups of ten each, but also more sections (two less in Antag.). Both the Pupphiyao and the Antagadadasao have in common the interruption of the repetitions of similar legends by those of a different content- thus Antag. 1, 1-3, 7 is separated from 3, 9-4, 10 and 5, 1-10 from 7, 1-12 and Pupph. 1. 2 from 5-10. The reason is not evident. The pieces indicated as parallels in this observation are not quite literally so in the Antagadadasao; rather, there are differences, but only in secondary points. The same is said of sons of different parents, or the name of the father or mother changes: Dharini is the royal consort sometimes of Vanhi, sometimes of Vasudeva, sometimes of Baladeva; sometimes the location is different or the penance is performed according to a changed plan. It is to be recognized that a certain amount of effort was taken for this. The choice of names for the additions is made quite light-mindedly, and this is also true (7) for the Anuttarovavaiyadasao. The same names appear not only in both Angas for quite different experiences, but they are repeated also in one and the same experience. Furthermore, some of them are synonymous with others and, finally, one can raise the objection that a number is not at all a name.23 The understandable wish to incorporate distinguished persons, especially from the brahmanical area, together with the aim of completeness, produced this unwelcome result.24 We learn from Thana 10 that the titles of Angas 8 and 9 denote a content of these works quite different from what we have today, because the narrations there named after persons are only partly still extant.as As for each of the names which have disappeared from them today, One notices the same procedure in Suy. II 2, see the overview before the translation below. 24 In the Antagadadasao, for example, Gambhira, Thimiya and the following which partly also are proof for the other flaws: Samudda, Sagara, Ayala, Akkhobha, Himavanta. Jali and company in Antag. 4 appear again in Anuttarov. 1. One should note that the contents mentioned in Thana 10 of both Angas contain only real names. For the Uvasagadasao and the Vivagasuya the details mentioned there prove to be correct, so even in this case one can rely on them. 24 It is also possible that it has to do with different versions of one and the same legend which, as we shall still see in other cases, might have been put one after the other as variants. But, perhaps, this is indeed not so. In the Antagadadasao: Somila (1,8), Sudamsana (6, 3), Bhagali, if the same as Mayali (4, 2!), Kimkamma (6,2!), Phala Ambatthaputta, if the same as Ambada of Kampilya in Uvav. 8 82 (Kampilla 1, 7!). The exclamation mark ! indicates for the present only a name. In the Anuttarov. at present only Isidasa (3, 3!), Sunakkhatta (3, 2!) and Dhanna (3, 1) cover the old content. Page #27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring and which can be traced elsewhere,26 the problem arises that the legends connected with them-assuming their identity with the pieces which were once extant--do not agree with the content given in the Anga titles. As opposed to this unsolvable problem the homogeneity of the rest of the narrative material should certainly be pointed out. Connected from the point of view of content through the figure of Aritthanemi, the third last redeemer, not to mention Mahavira himself, are: Naya 5, Antag. 1-5 and the Vanhidasao; through Pasa the second last (redeemer): Dhammakahao, Pupph. 1. 3 and the Pupphaculao; (and) through the princess Kali, Mahavira's contemporary: Antag. 8, Nirayavaliyao and Kappavadimsiyao (here her son and grandson). One finds the nun Pupphacula in the Dhammakahao and Pupphaculao ajjao in the Uvanga named after her, and so one has to notice the respectful plural in these words, just as in the expressions Dhammaghosa namam thera in Naya 2. 8. 15. 16. 19 and in Vivagasuya; Siddhattha nama ayariya in the Vanhidasao: Suvvaya nama ajjao in Naya 14. 16 and Pupph. 4, and Govaliyao ajjao in Naya 16. It seems to be evident through these conspicuous ways of expression that the (8) narrator was always the same, or that the group of narrators was of uniform nature, who also did not fail to explicitly condemn the care of the body, as Naya 16, Pupphiyao and Pupphaculao show. If one can call the vannaya introduction of the authentic vedha texts a primary occurrence and those of the false ones a secondary occurrence, then one can also note a tertiary one. From the Nayadhammakahao onwards the Angas are introduced in a specific form: Jambu, Mahavira's oldest disciple, asks the youngest disciple Ajja Suhamma who has halted in the city of Campa--"vannao"-about the content of the then beginning text, and the text commences. Then, at the beginning of each of the chapters their content is inquired about, apart from the Dhammakahao because this part is only supplemented (see p. 14 below).?' Outside the Angas the Ajja Suhamma-beginning appears only in the Nirayavaliyao for the introduction of the five vaggas,28 of which these are in fact the first text, that is, the content "of the Uvangas (uvanganam)" itself is explored. One may conclude from this that at the time when this introduction 26 Mayanga (Antag. old 2) in Naya 4, Ramagutta and Pellaya (4.9) in Anuttarov. 3, 4! 5! (Ramaputta), Jamali (6) in Viyahap. 9, Ananda (Anuttarov. 7) in Uvas. 1, Tegali (8)! Aimutta (9) in Antag. 6, 15. Is Kattiya (Karttika) in Anuttarov. old 4 perhaps Khandaga (Skandaka) in Viyahap. 2? - For the exceptions which the Panhavagaranaim display see also p. 14 below. 28 This is indeed the expression characteristic for the texts with summaries through keywords, which is why one calls the Dhammakahao, Antagadadasao, Anuttarovavaiyadasao and Uvanga 8-12 vagga texts. Saya 21 to 23 of the Viyahapannatti are also classified as vagga independently of these. Page #28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas appeared, there were reckoned to be not twelve Uvangas then but only five; 29) and, on the other hand, the related peculiarity of these five Uvangas and at least Angas 8. 9. 11 allows the hypothesis that they must be in a supplementary relation (upa)precisely to these. As we saw, the merely hypothetical figure twelve of the Uvangas is only an imitation of the equally hypothetical original dozen of the Angas. This is established from the structure of their entire series in that here, exactly as there, to both texts, compositions bound together by form originated, the doctrinal works, and to these the smaller narrative prose works are connected, without entailing for us the persuasive power of the relations between the corresponding Angas and Uvangas shown by old commentators. The works which precede the Nayadhammakahao in the canon do not have the Ajja Suhamma-introduction at the very beginning. In the Viyahapannatti-if we ignore the benediction formula belonging to a later period--the text commences immediately with Goyama's question; the legendary investiture is just an addition. But Angas 1, 3 and 4 begin with the formula at the beginning, and Suyagada in the second main part: "I have heard, o venerable one, that the Lord has spoken so" - suyam me, ausam, tenam bhagavaya evam akkhayam. For the Jaina exactly the same is said with this as with the Ajja Suhamma-beginning, because for him this person (aham) speaks to Jambu (ausam). The old formula could therefore be kept. We may nevertheless understand it differently, namely, as the announcement of a contribution to the collection of the text, just as the Pali formula evam me sutam (9) of the Buddhists evinces it. It is uncertain whether one may relate this precisely to the earliest attempt to form a canon. This attempt would then be evident in all texts in which the formula is traceable even today, that is, apart from the texts mentioned, also in Suy. II 2-4, Utt. 2. 16. 29, Dasav. 4.9,4, Dasa 1-7 and Culao II 7,2 where at the end there is a displaced beginning. 30 After this introduction the following is announced in the Suyagada in a way which probably exercised an influence on the Ajja Suhamma-beginning: "Here the section of the teaching called ... is made known, from it the following content is made known"-iha khalu ... nam'ajjhayane pannatte: tassa nam eya-m-atthe pannatte, tam-jaha:-words of an arranger of the texts or of a speaker. In Utt. 2. 29 and Dasav. 9,4 follows: "Here ... is announced by the monk and Lord Mahavira of the Kasyapa gotra ..."--iha khalu ... samanenam bhagavaya Mahavirenam Kasavenam paveiya 29 Cf. Kapadia 1941, p. 29 (WB). With the formula at the beginning of the Mahanisiha the misleading is deliberate. Page #29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring ('ie). Dasa 1-7, Utt. 16, Dasav. 9, 4 and Culao II 7, 2 have for this: "Here has been made known ... by the eldest ones, the lords" ---iha khalu therehim bhagavanthehim ... pannatta. The Kasava texts will still be referred to (p. 13) when considering the Suyagada. If the emphasis which the texts place on the person of Mahavira led to the incorporation of the poetry therein into this collection of apologetic texts (p. 13 below), then in the three prose sections mentioned here one finds the value of the matter strongly emphasized. 32 The thera texts refer to the founder himself as little as the old collection of the rules (Kappa, Vavahara, Nisiha, Culao) refer to the order. The discipline was early under the care of the most senior ones. The texts deal, namely, with chastity (bambhacera) in Utt. 16, with inner and outer humility (vinaya) in Dasav. 9, 4, with lack of self-control (asamahi), with obvious transgressions (sabala), with disrespect for the dignity of older ones (asayana) in Dasa 1-3, with the requirements of a Gana leader (gani-sampaya) and with the respect (vinaya) of the disciple in Dasa 4, with the acquisition of extra-sensory knowledge (citta-samahi) as a prize for pious conduct in Dasa 5,93 with the practice and stages (padima) of the laity and monks in Dasa 6 and 7, with delusion (moha) in Dasa 9(34) and with seizure of property (oggaha) in the conclusion of Ayara II 7, 2. These presentations, put together each in a specific number of cases, are (10) scattered remainders (in the Utt. and Dasav. included for teaching purposes) of a disciplinary collection put in the mouth of theras, a collection that is arranged in numbers exactly like the Thana and Samavaya, as is still evident today in the series 8-12 in Dasa 4-7 and 20, 21, 33 in Dasa 1-3. The question texts, as one can call them, finally, make up a large part, just as the narrative pieces. The Jivabhigama and the Pannavana represent practically completely, the Jambuddivapannatti at least in considerable volume, how Mahavira teaches his chief disciple Goyama Indabhui who poses questions. Moreover, the Jivabhigama goes back to the thera In his personal copy Schubring notes in pencil: "not therehim bhagavanthehim" (WB). 52 Utt. 2: je (parisahe) bhikkhu socca nacca abhibhuya ... putho no ninhavejja; Utt. 29: ... ajjhayane ... paveie jam sammam saddahitta 10 bahave jiva sijjhanti 5; Dasav. 4: chajjivaniya nam'ajjhayanam ... paveiya (!) su-y-akkhaya (!) su-pannatta (!). (Further: seyam me ahijjium; (since] ajjhayanam [is] dhamma-pannatti.) 3 Here the beginning is in three stages: to the formula suyam me follows the reference to the theras, after it the secondary Varnaka-beginning which, because it mentions Mahavira as the preacher, is directly contrary to what precedes it. With the form thanaim the thera-introduction proves to be younger than the thana introduction. This third introduction seems to be inserted with the intention to prove Mahavira's authorship also of this subject. 34 See Schubring 1935 $ 51. Page #30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas bhagavanto and the Pannavana to Ajja Sama. 3) The questioning is very often in such a way that it already unveils the knowledge of the disciple about the subject to be discussed. Thus this does not have to do with a description of an incident, but with a form of the presentation which became advisable because it combined the impression of antiquity with educational practicality. In the three large Uvangas already mentioned the obvious step is already taken to order the content which is bound together in this form according to a plan; thus, the classification of beings and the conception of the world are found enclosed in the Jivabhigama, the entire dogmatics in the Pannavana, and in the Jambuddivapannatti that part of the world after which it is named. The Uvavaiya, from 62 onwards, contains further systematic questioning, that is, it concerns rebirth and liberation; further, the Tandulaveyaliya deals with the clarification of physiological views; and the Samavaya in the second part of the appendix which discusses the construction of the world and the attributes of beings and, as we shall still see (p. 15 below), has been inserted there because of an extraneous reason. The model for all these texts has been the Viyahapannatti. In it, the "Proclamation of the Explanations", the fifth work of the canon, whatever could not be inserted into the scheme of numbers controlling the third and fourth Angas has been collected from the teaching of the faith. The result is a colourful admixture that should also be expressed by the name saya, "a group of hundred", for the large sections. This variety of content one finds above all in Saya 1-20 which constitute the core of the work. Corresponding to them is also Saya 25, whereas 24, 30 and 41 individually, and 21-23 (classified firstly in vagga), 26-29, 31 and 32 and, at least, 33, 34, and 35-40 are of uniform content. Whether one of these is an addition which was once regarded as an independent Viyahaculiya, and which one, is unknown. The apparent irregular series of instructions, the scene of which often changes, does not permit such an ordering that one would find a train of thought to which they might be attached; a few explanations present themselves only formally. References to other works are quite numerous, especially to the Pannavana and the Jivabhigama (or to the Divasagarapannatti, see p. 14 below), but also to Uvavoiya, Rayapasenaiya, Nandi and the Ayaradasao. On the one hand, they may be traced back to the desire (11) (to show that wherever there is a lot, there would be everything; but on the other hand, in the Viyahapannatti a topic is sometimes introduced, sometimes explained through a reference to the main place which sometimes precedes or * See Schubring 1935 8 48. Page #31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring sometimes follows the topic. From both these explanations it naturally follows that these parts were added later, just as we then see a revising hand at work not only here. We should not at all fail to see--and that is why the mention may be allowed here that the texts of the canon owe their form largely to a need for order. 36 This is valid, to mention first the larger relations, for the preparation of one whole out of scattered parts. Not always, though, does one have to look for a spiritual link among these: indeed, in the very nature of the work there is a certain colourfulness of the chapters which serves as an introduction for practice and for the world of ideas of Mahavira's followers, just as the tradition mentions them for the Dasaveyaliya which Sejjambhava is supposed to have composed for his son Managa. The Dasaveyaliya and the Uttarajjhaya take whatever is useful wherever they find it and the content of such a pattern selection is easily extended beyond the old limit. The dogmatic sections of the Uttarajjhaya might have served at the very beginning, or quite early, for rounding up everything; 37 both chapters 11 and 12 of the Dasaveyaliya were added only later, because they contradict the title which determines the ten-number. If the connection between these two texts is based on the change (as regards the contents) then one has to try and infer it from other texts. There are no less than four sections of appendices to the Bambhaceraim, the first half of the Ayara, which are not only different from the previous ones, but partly also among themselves. This can be explained by the intention to present right conduct from now on practically, dealt with until that point mainly morally. Already in the Bambhaceraim this intention led to the inclusion even of the poetic description of Mahavira's own penance as the concluding chapter. Then, however, collections of rules, which incidentally are not the oldest of their kind, are added as the first and second appendices.38 The largest section of the third, the bhavana, makes up only the introduction to the five vows, including the instructions for their proper understanding (bhavana), because Mahavira preaches both the vows and the rules for their execution on the strength of his omniscience, and the possession as well as the acquisition of knowledge of which omniscience is the most profound, permeates like a red thread the preceding biographical sketch (pp. 121f. and 130f. of the author's) edition). The last appendix, so it is hardly necessary to say that this need for order goes back long before the time of Devarddhi. The gahas serving as mnemonic verses and the editorial comments, perhaps also here and there the division into sections of the teaching and the mentioned references in the Viyahapannatti are due to him. scr. Charpentier 1922, p. 38 and Schubring 1924, column 484. 38 See the Schubring 1921a, p. 9. Page #32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas 13 Vimutti, follows this, because right conduct leads to "liberation". The adherence to the basic idea thus allows the bhavana in Ayara (12) to appear here from a distant starting point, the Vimutti raises itself from the planes. The first of these two appearances also provides the explanation for the unmediated co-existence of the two main parts in the Uvavaiya. For, the samosarana, the procession to listen to the sermon, indeed has only the function of leading to the real topic, a sermon about new-embodiment (uvavaya), just as in reality it is customary for the confidential elucidation of difficult questions to follow the public talk with its generally comprehensible expressions. The Suyagada is a compilation, as is shown in the first main part, almost without exception, by the valid arrangement of the poems according to the exterior feature of the number of the sections of its teaching (the same in the Calao of the Ayara). But this is based on the attempt to justify the teaching against those who think differently. It is expressed in different degrees: together with the detailed discussions of the doctrine of the others, which are prominent especially in the second main part, the frequently repeated statement appears (see also p. 9 above) that Mahavira, often mentioned according to his gotra as Kasyapa, i.e., seen humanly and in the present, is the author (and none other), or that the teachings being presented were already declared in former times (pura 'kkhaya), which naturally should speak for their correctness. This spirit of self-assertion gives the Anga the name: an Anga of the philosophers, *sucakstam or sucikstam angam." Finally, the eighth Ayaradasa, the so-called Kalpasutra only in later times, appears to be especially heterogeneous. And yet the thought which represents the introductioncomposed certainly only later--to the third section called Pajjosavanakappa, "mode of life in the rainy season", is the same as the one through which sections one and two, which move in an opposite direction to each other, are connected, that is, the biographies of Mahavira and all the liberators before him and the list of teachers after him and their schools: teaching and custom have survived from the earliest times to this day. The oldest commentary, the nijjutti, Kada (-gada) stands for -krt as in antagada. Sutra is used in the sense of "text" only for sutta (when Pischel speaks of Kappasuya (Pischel has only Kappasutta! WB) in his grammar then this is as erroneous as his writing Ovavaiya for Uvavaiya, let alone Vivahapannatti-a quite late variant--for Viyahapannatti). Although the Su-nijjutti overlooks this (stanza 2) it nonetheless has sucakrta as a second possibility. It is also conceivable that suya might stand for sui, from suci. Both suca and suci could mean drsti. One should note also the word suijjanti in his personal copy Schubring writes "sutriyante" WB) in the table of contents on the part of the Samavaya which is as intentionally used as thavijjanti in Thana and vahijjanti in Viyaha. See also Bollee 1977, p. 32.) Page #33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring however, allows the Jinacariya and Theravall to be placed before the Pajjosavanakappa mangalartham, a view that is sufficiently explained by non-historical observation. One can notice a borderline case for implementing the need for order in the substitution of missing texts or parts of them by others. Canonical passages adequately demonstrate that texts were lost, and Weber (1885, pp. 87-90) (13) has made a list of them at the end of his major treatise. This list, however, becomes shorter firstly insofar as the probability noted by him, that a number of allegedly independent texts are at present still extant as parts of bigger works, in many cases has to be considered as being a certainty. Secondly, since Weber wrote, several have appeared in print or as manuscripts: Maranavibhatti, Arahanapadaga, Angavijja, the Angaculiya and at least a part of the Vaggaculiya. However, there are still sufficient open gaps, and to these are added others which are more or less hidden where a heading announces a text which in fact is not there. The case of the Candapannatti is most conspicuous. References in the canon unquestionably demonstrate that this doctrine of heaven based on the moon originally preceded the Sarapannatti which is based on the sun. Whether this (former) is supposed to be incorporated in that (latter) and still to be found today in it as pahuda 10ff., or whether it fell into oblivion in the shadow of the important work, in any case the manuscripts found until now contain nothing other than the Surapannatti under the title of the Candapannatti, certainly the easiest form in which to bestow upon a text disappeared from the list a kind of continued existence. Other gaps are concealed by new texts, to the least extent in Suy. I 16 where the name gaha does not entail stanzas but prose (see Bollee 1990, pp. 29-52 (WB)). For the Panhavagaranaim, as indeed for all the Angas from the seventh onwards, there is a table of contents in Thana 10 which proves to be reliable on the basis of evidence provided in other texts. According to it the text should, as the name also indicates, deal with answers to questions about the doctrine" whereas today we have a continuous presentation; moreover, the presentation of the five great vows differs from the Bhavana of the Ayara, thus a completely different work. In the old form the second half of the Nayadhammakahao is also missing because, of both the main parts promised in the introduction, the Nayaim, "exemplary narratives" and Dhammakahao, "sermons", only the first is still extant, the second replaced in the 14 40 40 Jacobi 1879, p. 23. 41 Should the Khomaga-pasinaim and the Addaga-pasinaim, "questions because of a cloth" and "questions because of a mirror", be preserved at least partly in the Pannavana (folio 436b)? A person, as it says there, sees in the mirror (addaya) neither himself nor other objects held in front of it, but the image of the mirror. A cloth rolled up occupies the same space as one spread out, an upright pillar the same as one on the floor. These comments in the Pannavana sound strange. Weber's interpretation 1883, p. 334' is different. Page #34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas 15 way described above (p. 8). We have noticed such a substitution when we spoke about the filling up of a stock of legends. Even within the texts themselves an ordering hand is noticeable. As already touched upon (p. 13 above), such a hand organized the first main part of the Suyagada and Culao 1 and 2 according to descending order of the length of each section. That in the Thana the lists of numbers from the conception of the world and teachings of the saints (14) were placed respectively at the end of each section is less significant than the fact that three large presentations were incorporated into the Samavaya as the continuation of the Thana only because they are introduced by numbers: duvalas 'ange gani-pidage pannatte, "the canon has twelve Angas"; duve rasi pannatta, "there are two large groups (namely, the sentient and the insentient)"; ... satta kulagara hottha, "there were ... seven ancestors". This is more important for us as the first example of the sequence of the parts on the basis of a completely exterior point of view. For originally these fragments belonged to the "question texts" (p. 10) and, according to this form, would be appropriate say in the Viyahapannatti. But at least the first of these, the survey of the content already mentioned, is too young to come into question as a member of this collection. We have before us the undoubted desire for a correct order, whereas elsewhere a pious deception' is just as clearly evident. Thus: when in the sixth Dasa the description of damsana-savaga, of a lay person in desire but not yet in action, is replaced, apart from the conclusion, by the description of akiriya-voi and kiriya-vai; or when in the Jivabhigama, in the middle of the description of the stellar deities, a new work, the Divasagarapannatti begins (folio 435a);42 and apart from these, after dealing with another three short fragments, incidentally in the same strain as in the fifth Anga, then what was silently abandoned is just as silently taken up again. To this belongs also the already described substitution of whole sections with the titles retained (p. 14). This arrangement of the individual sections in the Samavaya and Jivabhigama indicates maximum and minimum possibilities of good faith, seen perhaps only from the western standpoint. There are other occurrences between both these extremes. The continuity is often established just by a word or a series of words, indeed by a mere echo. When in Kappa 5, 6-9 we read: bhikkhu ya uggaya-vittie... and in 5, 10: iha khalu nigganthassa ... uggale agacchejja, then this is a combination according to the sound of two rules that are of different origin.44 The 42 Kirfel 1925, pp. 50ff. 43 See Schubring 1905, pp. 32 and 57 (WB). 44 See Schubring 1921a, pp. 5ff. Page #35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring connection has been taken over in the Nisiha at 10, 31-35; thus here uggaya in 3 Iff. is connected according to the sound to uggahiya in 15-30, and uggalam uggilitta in 35 to gilanam in 36ff. Similarly with atthi nam, Pajjos. 19 appears after 18 which has atthegaiyanam. In Viyahap. 10, 3 asassa nam, bhante, dhavamanassa commences a question and after the answer the next question begins with aha nam, bhante, asaissamo; this is, among others, a striking example in the fifth Anga. The phenomenon has been proved in numerous cases for the Bambhacerdim, as the later pages of this book will make clear anew. It served, thus, not only as an added means for (15) the supposed restoration of a connection wherever the ordering spirit presupposed such a mental connection among the loosely transmitted small parts, but the urge for order sought support here and there in the sound and word, as well as in a whirlpool of more externally connected details." On the other hand, we notice a system wherever a different tradition is inserted. The Nisiha offers sufficient examples." When, further, in the Uvavaiya the description of the pre-conditions for the reappearance in the heavenly worlds or when liberation ensues (SSSS 69-130), as well as the manner in which the teaching about the disappearance of the last remaining kamma particles (kevali-samugghaya, SSSS 131-153) leads to a picture of blissful existence, so that this (SSSS 154ff.) follows both, then it is possible to suggest that the kevali-samugghaya might be brought in here because one tradition wanted to see it in the place of the previous section. Leumann had already recognized that this part is particularly peculiar. The above descriptions make us recall that Kappa, Pajjosavanakappa, Vavahara, Nisiha and also the Culao already long ago proved to have been a mosaic of pieces of different colour and size. Further to the new evidence for other texts in what has been mentioned till now is the evidence for the prose chapters of the Suyagada in the next section of this book, even though the variformity there is much more limited. The main monument for this (variformity), however, is still the Bambhacerdim. 16 The main content of the Bambhacerdim entails thoughts which one or several authors. have composed metrically, a small part being discourses in prose. A commentator gives his explanation to the verses in a curt form of expression, either by following them in his own Probably setting the Teyanisagga precisely as Saya 15 of the Viyahapannati-to which it belongs as a description of a part of Mahavira's life is to be explained by teya-lesa in 14, 9 which appears almost immediately before it. 46 See Schubring 1921a, p. 9, ibid. for the Bambhaceraim. 47 Leumann 1883, p. 16 fn. Page #36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas words or enframing them within his. Their content is paraphrased, supplemented or limited, often by using quotations (...) which we come across partly in the text or elsewhere, or are partly unknown; padas are rearranged where, for instance, convenience makes it obvious. The stanzas and their parts which are handled in this way are now, however, no longer in their original sequence, 48 but in scattered fragments. A redactor makes a connection between these fragments on the basis of the impression of a corresponding sequence created by a word or a series of words, indeed by a mere echo of the sound. Even the old prose, still to be discussed (p. 22 below), which is not subject to an interpretation, appears only in (16) fragments. These are connected with those of the work of the commentator, and amongst themselves, generally in the way described, but then again often distributed according to a certain plan; compare (for example, the Satthaparinna, Logasara and the Vimoha. Whatever in the prose is concerned with the practice of monastic life in the prose is placed at the end of the work. A differing tradition is recorded, but hardly recognized as such since this is not done immediately after the corresponding place. An independent poem is brought in as an appendage probably because it superficially touches upon the content. Such a conscious and deliberate formation of the given material is associated with what is unconscious, where the beginning of a familiar word order or an enumeration which in another place brings about a connecting continuation, but which does not fit into the present (case is associated); this can be called induction (or triggering off, see p. 237 below. Finally, transpositions and displacements of lines or groups of lines are also met with (Continued. p. 21 below.) so (From Schubring 1910, pp. 46-51. It should be shown now that the connection of pieces having the same style of composition), at first within each and every chapter, leads to uninterrupted thought coherences, even if they are not at all so formally. How the mosaic, which the text of the Bambhaceraim today evinces itself to be, emerged, will then be made clear. For an explanation of the individual words, however, one should check the glossary at the end of Schubring's edition; only the text of the ed. is supplied in Appendix 1 below, not the glossary and apparatus). 48 One notices the incorrect position of half-stanzas also in the translation of the Suyagada below. (On Schubring's ideas about the composition of the Bambhaceraim, cf. Kapadia 1941, p. 214 (WB).) 49 The arrangers of the Atharvaveda let themselves be guided largely by the same phenomena, Bloomfield 1899, p. 39. 30 Since the section beginning "The bases for..." (p. 21 below) to "Now is the moment ..." (p. 23) is not understandable without the relevant parts out of Schubring 1910, pp. 46-51, these are supplied here (WB).

The knowledge of being subjected to re-embodiment must lead to a withdrawal of every activity, above all from every injury to or killing of living beings. 1, 1-18. 21-2, 2. 9-11. 13 (se)-15. 16 (socca)-18. 20-22. 31-3, 5. 16f. 25f. 4, 6f. 13f. 26f. 32f. 5, 11f. 18f. 25. 29f. 6, 6f. B. Prose. Abandonment of the demonstration of reverence and respect: 1, 19-21 2, 11-13. 15f. C. Sloka. Although they are themselves subject to suffering fools they torture (other) creatures; and still the person him- or herself is identical with the rest of the sentient world: 2, 3.5.19 3, 13-15. 27-29 4, 28-31 5, 22f. Wherever whatever kinds of living beings there are, they are injured or destroyed: 2, 6. 23-30 3, 17-24 4, 8-12 5, 1f. 13-17.26-28. D. Sloka. The faithful and the fickle monk: 2, 4. 7. 3, 6-12 4, 3-5. 17-25 5, 3-5. 24. E. Tristubh. The prudent and the imprudent monk, especially in relation to the injury of creatures: 4, 1f. 15f. 5, 6-10. 20f. 31-6, 5. 2. Loga-vijao. A. Tristubh. The manifold activity that arises out of desire causes ruin. One should rather take advantage of the short lease of life and renounce all wishes and hopes: 6, 8-10. 15-19, 25-30 7, 7. 21-26 9, 1f. 8-10. 20. 22-24 10, 16-22 11, 3. 6f. 12, 9. 13f. 26. 28 30. B. Prose. Whoever sheds blood in that he exerts himself for others, receives no thanks from them; even the hope of reward in the beyond deludes him, because for each and every one, his rightful lot is (pre-) determined. It is just as useless when he looks after himself, because he never comes to enjoy (his) property: 6, 11-14. 21 (tao)-24 7, 1-6. 26 (se)-8, 14 (prose). 16 (arattam)-20 9, 2 (ja)-7. 18. 21 10, 7-11. The sentences 7, 3-6 appear in a more detailed variation: one can arrange (them so): 10, 7-11 and 9, 21 iha-m-egesim manavanam bhogam eva anusoyanti, then 9, 19. The variants of the Nagarjuniya, the entire content of which appears in our recension in the form of a quotation which, moreover, is changed, show how line 8, 8 is to be understood; its correct place would be after sabalattam. In 8, 12f. haovahae will be the predicate (the Nags were not Mahavira's monks, but nonetheless respected (WB)). C. Sloka. It is too late in old age to change, that is why one should seize the right moment: 6, 20, 241. 7, 2 (ndlam). 5 (nalam). 8-12 9, 18 (nalam). Corresponding to 7, 8 lines 6, 201 are to be transposed: abhikkantam... sapehae, tam-jaha.... D. Sloka. The relapse of the monk to worldly inclinations; persistence in the chosen state. This general content is illustrated in special cases. Such a case appears between 7, 13-20 and 9, 11-17. 25-10, 2; first, one with a desire for life: 8, 15f. 21-26; then follows a survey of the monastic discipline: 10, 3-6. 12-15.23-31; the struggle against the desires: 11, 1f. 4f. 8-14, 21-24. Then follows the example, its beginning inserted already in between the previous exposition, of the hypocrite who, although guilty himself, poses as an enthusiastic, renouncing preacher of liberation: 11, 15-20; and, in contrast, the example of the indolent monk who is tired of proclaiming the doctrine further: 12, 18-25. 27; (then) both, in turning to what is general: 11, 25-12, 8. 10-12 15-17 13, 1-7. 3. Siosanijjam. A. Tristubh. Through an insight into the effect the wise one renounces all activity and all passions: 13, 8f. 14f. 18f. 21-25 14, 8-15. 18-21 15, 7-17.27-16, 9. B. Sloka. Whoever recognizes that all life forms in the world have a great connection to one another, discards the impulse to kill: 13, 10f. 20. 26-14, 7. 27-15, 6. 18-24. C. Sloka. The knowledge of the deceptive nature of the senses: 13, 11-13 15, 25f. Through it the wise one has perseverance and patience in difficulties: 13, 16f. 14, 26; rejects delight and pleasure: 14, 16f. 22-25; and withdraws back to himself full of equanimity: 16, 10-22, because Page #38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas 19 he recognizes that the passions, reproducing (themselves), are in contact with one another and are the basis for a new existence and a new death: 16, 23-17, 15. 4. Sammattam. A. Prose. Defence of the prohibition of killing or of the misuse of living beings against those who permit both: 17, 16-23 18, 14-16. 18-20.22-25 19, (anadeg)-4.4-8 20, 20f. 23 (saccamsi) 25. B. Sloka.

The warning not to cause a new existence through wishes and deeds: 18. 4-13. 17.21. 25 (ettham) 19, 4 (ettham). 9-17.21-26. 28 20, 17f. 22f. 5. Loga-saro (Avanti). A. Prose. For and against injury, violence and greed: 20, 27f. 21, 12. 24f. 22, 11-14. 24. B. Sloka. Energy and knowledge. 1. The (young) monk with energy and resistance. Apart from general warnings against succumbing again to desires, individual cases mentioned are: sexual intercourse: 20, 28-31 21, 6-8; the passions which arise in the heart of the solitary one, and are) confessed to no one: 21, 16-19.26-22, 4; the wish to alleviate the difficulties of monastic existence: 22, 5-10. 15. 21-23.26-23, 5.7-10. 24-30; 2. The monk full of knowledge and firmness in the faith: 24, 1-25, 28. 3. Energy and insight, knowledge of the doctrine (pavaya) and obedience towards the rules (niddesa) (all) have to be equally characteristic of the monk. For those who know, all memories, qualities and stimuli of the world sink into nothingness: 25, 29-26, 24. C. Tristubh. Doubt and stopping half the way are fatal; certain knowledge and its application, on the other hand, lead to liberation: 21, 1-5. 9-11. 13-15. 19-23 22, 16-20 23, 6. 11-24 6. Dhuyam. A. Tristubh. Those without energy do not themselves have the strength to take up monastic life, and try by means of requests and slander, to control those who move out: 27, 1-14 28, 5-14.32-29,3 32, 22f. For others, however, who have already begun the new life, it is painful because they lack the inner maturity: 30, 13-18. 27-31, 1. In 30, 27f. we have a variant for 15-18. B. Sloka. The sight of suffering and death, and the possibility of rebirth into animal existence, should lead people to a protection of other beings: 27, 15-28, 2. C. Sloka. The discarded (dhuya) monastic life. 1. The disloyal ones, out of weakness, are no match for monastic life. The steadfast one, however, is undemanding with regard to clothing-where he, by going naked, in fact surpasses the minimum requirement and diet: 28, 3f. 15-31 29, 3-18. 27-30, 2. Line 29, 5 fits into a context only if it is put after 7. 2. Out of putative conviction the apostate one does not let himself be instructed in the doctrine, is unhappy with the mode of life, is obstinate or disputes without sufficient knowledge: 30, 3-13. 19-26 31,1-6. 3. Such apostates damage their own reputation the most: 31,7-17. The student should be willing to listen and himself (be) a preacher of the doctrine and a model for the mode of life: 31, 18-32, 13; the weak one should not let himself be discouraged, but should go forwards bravely: 32, 14-21. D. Prose. The rules of those without clothes: 29, 18 (je)-26. Page #39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring (51). According to the Acaranga tradition the Maha-parinna, after the sixth chapter, has been left out; according to the Nandi, the Avasyaka-niryukti ( and the Vidhiprapa (53) it appeared in the ninth section after the Uvahana-suya. If one should believe the latter two then Vajra would have removed agasa-gamini vijja from it, which then would have got lost, because this extract overlapped with the original (? saisayattanena). This is obviously a confusion with the Sumahapainna-puvva about which the same is asserted in Jinadatta's Ganadharasardhasataka (see Weber 1885, s.v.). This is so because Vajra, precisely as a Purva expert, commands respect in the tradition and, besides, the table of contents transmitted in the Acar.-niryukti apparently contains nothing out of which a special knowledge leading to magical powers could have been acquired. In Niry. 34 the general content is given as moha-samuttha parisah 'uvasagga, (and) the special content after the 7 (footnote: Devraj 1902 erroneously says 16) uddesas in Niryukti 253-263, cp. the car. edition, Calcutta 1879, pp. 435f54) In six stanzas follow, furthermore, discussions over the components of the chapter, a more detailed treatment of the topics of the chapter does not follow, in contrast to the usual practice. If this alone suggests that already the composer of the Niryukti did not have direct access to the Mahaparinna himself, then I too would like to deduce the same from the conspicuous detail of his table of contents and ask whether his sources perhaps may have reported to him what was beyond actuality. 20 8. Vimoho. (1.2) 32, 25-33, 2.4 A. Prose. The services of a monk rendered to monks and laity, (pantham)-6 (7. 8:) 34, 31-35, 4 (3.4:) 36, 22-27 (5.6) 38, 13-19. As one sees, the sequence in which these places are put today does not correspond to the one according to its contents. The reading I have of it will be clearest in a translation: "(1) [A monk] may not give [another] monk or a layperson food, etc., or offer it [and] not do him any service, by which he, thereby, has [calculated] consideration for the other. (2) He may do it and thereby (in fact] go a part of the way back, or deviate from the road, interrupt his ascetic practice and [as it were] enter from the state of peace into that of [worldly] activity-if he thereby has [calculated] consideration for the other. (3) A monk for whom the following arrangement obtains: "approached by those whom I have not requested, I will have a service rendered to me by a healthy fellow monk when I become sick; if I so wish, and on my part, unrequested, render a fellow monk who is sick, whom I myself, healthy, have approached, if he so wishes that I do it: (4) putting aside renunciation I shall acquire [food, etc.] and allow that [it] be specially provided, or do one of these or neither" (5) a monk who thinks the following: "for other monks I shall specially provide for food, etc., give, or allow that it be specially provided, do one of these or neither of the two; (6) [or] with this left over food, etc., which is free of fault, unchanged, I shall render a service to a fellow monk, if he wishes that I do it, and shall on my part, if I so wish, let the service be rendered thereby (to me)"(7) [whereas for this purpose such] a monk may not give, or offer food, etc., to a layperson [and] not render him a service, by which he has [calculated] consideration for him, (8) but indeed, 51 Silanka 235a2 on Ayar. 1, 7, 1 at the beginning; cf. further Weber 1883, p. 251ff. and Kapadia 1941, p. 78 (WB). 52 AvN. 660 quoted by Haribhadra 76, 13f. on Nandi Sutra 87 gives Mahaparinna as ch. 8, between Vimoho and Uvahana. This reference to the Nandi was not found, but see Thananga 9, 2 and Samavaya 9, 3 (WB). 53 On this see Weber 1883, p. 223. 54 Since the 1879 Calcutta ed. of the Acaranganiryukti will hardly be available, this section of it referred to by Schubring here is supplied in Appendix 4 (WB). Page #40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas by having (calculated) consideration he may do this for another monk." Sentence 7 is a redundant partial repetition of 1. Even superficially it proves to be a secondary addition through the ending aga in adhayaminae which in our text appears only sporadically (paggahiyataraga, muhuttaga) and is characteristic of a younger period of the language. B. Prose. Warning against inaccuracy in speech or unnecessary speculation: 33, 3f. 7-12. The sense of the first lines makes the parallel passage understandable, where Jacobi's translation corrects his edition (by adding the second paragraph). C. Sloka. The doctrine is suitable for every age group: 33, 18-25 34, 24-30, i.e., for the second: 35, 5-10 (and) the third: 35, 11-16 36, 8f. age groups). Solitude is most suitable for castigation; there through the higher and the highest degree of asceticism liberation is attained at death: 36, 10-13. 27(evam)-37, 238, 1-4.21-40, 8. D. Tristubh. Warning against violent deed: 33, 26f. 34, 4f. E. Prose. Warning against violent deed: 33, 28-34, 3f. F. Prose. The monk's renunciation: 1. of specially prepared food or of clothing in the round for alms,: 34, 6-23; 2. of warmth intended for him in the cold: 35, 17-24 (should be after) 36, 7.; 3. of food fetched (for him) when unable to walk: 36, 17-21; 4. of company: 37, 7-9. 5. If he does not want to go (for alms) then he fasts alone: 37, 14-26 38, 20. G. Prose. The monk's rules for clothing: 35, 25-36, 6. 14-21 37, 3-9 38, 5-12. H. Prose. On proper eating for the monk and nun: 37, 10-13.) (Continued from p. 17 above.) The bases for the "exegesis" turn out to be the compositions which reappear as fragments at different points. Accordingly, we can put together: 1. The unity of every living being in the world; out of this follows the respect for the fellow creatures (1C, 3B, 6B).() 2. Listlessness, relapse, defection; equanimity, constancy, goodwill in both young (5B) and middle-aged (8C) monks (1D, 2A, 3C, 4B, 5B, 6C, 8C). 3. Relapse and indecisiveness; loyalty (1E, 2B, 3A, 4C,5C, 6A, 8D). The sequence of the theme-fragments, given here in the translation below corresponding to the headings of the chapters, naturally does not have to be as in the original; indeed this would be plainly astonishing given the confusion we otherwise find. That it is indeed so will be practically certain when one sees in chapter 2 how the variants to paragraph [3] in C appear only after paragraphs [4] and [5), whereas they in fact have their old place before them. If one would like to further apply this discovery to the grouping of the fragments, then one might see the end of theme 1 in 6B, because here the penalty for misunderstanding the connection is indicated; theme 4 would begin with 6A because logically the lack of determination concerning the vocation has to precede the relapse of the one who was ready initially. That the introduction in chapters with individual names cannot be original requires no elaboration after all these observations. >> These references here and further below) refer to the sections given in Schubring 1910, pp. 46-51, which is why this part has been inserted above: IC refers to Sattha-parinna, C (sloka), and so on (WB). Page #41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring As for the author or authors of the themes in verses which latter incidentally are often faulty (see the edition p. 53) for which, however, the exegete may partly be guilty precisely through his activity--there is no more to say than, to conclude from the closely related manner of expression, that they must be very closely connected to the verse authors of the Suyagada, Uttarajjhaya, and Dasaveyaliya. The stanzas, apart from those of the first theme where the positive character is dominant, are directed towards the uncertain fellow companion of the order so as to guard him from sinking back to worldly attitude and activity. Since they are in verse, they cannot represent a proclamation (17) of a doctrine of liberation to listeners who still have to be won over, because a conversion is undertaken only in free speech. We turn now to the old prose of the Bambhaceraim. It, too, is largely directed at the fellow monks, thus above all the rules for the practice of monastic life, namely 8G which is supplemented by 6D, 8A, F and H. These instructions, stylistically different from one another, do not conform to the tone of the rule-collections of Kappa and Vavahara, but have rather the character of an incidental announcement; in part they remind one clearly of the rules in the first Culao. The rest of the old prose renders speeches on the faith and the conviction of the listeners. It was not given a proper exegesis in the sense above, though explanatory quotations appear in 1B and 2C, as already described (p. 16 above). Thus the supposition seems to be obvious that in these fragments the exegete is speaking. Perhaps this is also the case in 8B where, as in the parts cited above, Mahavira is mentioned. From the content one is strongly reminded of the Bhasajaya, i.e:, Cula 1, 4. What still remains is the prose in 1A, 4A, 5A, 8E. The reasons why, with regard to content and language, these parts belong together have been explained in the edition, p. 51. Eight E (8E) as a variant of 1A (conclusion) is clear without further comment. The translation sufficiently shows that the individually placed sentences in 5A fit with surprising naturalness into the mentioned place (p. 17, line 23 of the edition) of 4A. It is possible that the beginning of the theme would have to be sought rather in the elevated version of 4A than in 1A which commences somewhat abruptly. If one connects 1A to 4A (p. 20, line 25), then both join together quite well. In any case, one recognizes in this prose-theme a speech that deals with the pros and cons of opinions, out of which the highest precept, the protection of living beings, is repeatedly conspicuous. This speech is, in fact, directed at listeners who have yet to be converted from the incorrect view to the correct one, who perhaps are not yet members of the monastic order at all. Page #42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetumbara Jainas Now is the moment to shift our attention once more from the entangled textual relationships of the Bambhaceraim which are not amenable to congenial presentation and to direct it to other texts, because Suyagada II 1 is associated with 1A, etc. The echoes of the wording and manner of expression cannot be overlooked. The forms and uses of savvavanti (5),(56), dhamme su-y-akkhae supannatte bhavai (14, etc.), nayam bhavai (19. 37), plurals like vippajahissamo (38.41) and vasissamo (45) we have come across in the edition p. 51, all as proofs for the relationship of the themes in the Bambhacerdim which have now been put under a common heading. Parallel to 1A are also parinnaya-kamme (47.60), padisamveei (48) and disa anudisa (57). That samana and mahana are often mentioned in accordance to 18, 14 corresponds to the polemical character of the discussion which it shares also with our theme. Above all, however, 4A is identical to 49. The fragmentary speech contained in the Bambhaceraim might just as well have been ascribed to Mahavira, (18) just as is done in Suy. II 1. From among the other prose chapters of the Sayagada one is tempted to place II 2A next to II 1, thanks to the general impression of the lively presentation and certain echoing phrases towards the conclusion. The speaker is not mentioned here. On the other hand, this also happens in Say. I 16, the misleadingly so-called gaha (see p. 14 above). Thus, there are no more than two places in the whole canon which are ascribed to Mahavira other than in a way that is customary, formulalike. He does not appear personally in them. In order to come closer to an image of him let us return now, finally, to the Viyahapannatti. In the series of the Anga the Viyahapannatti constitutes the conclusion of pure dogmatics in which, among the later ones of the series, the teaching of the faith is indirectly enunciated through selection (of texts) and edifying narratives. This is a beginning for us insofar as they demonstrate Mahavira's influence more clearly than happens in the texts before it. Although among the listeners Goyama appears by far most frequently, yet apart from him there is a large number of disciples and discussers who seek and obtain clarification. The disciples Roha (Saya 1, uddesa 6), Aggibhui, Vaubhui (3, 1), Mandiyaputta (3, 3), Magandiyaputta (18, 3) and the lay person Sankha (12, 1) are instructed, in the course of which we learn about Vaubhui's initial doubt and the disbelieving astonishment of the audience around Magandiyaputta. Pasa devotees appear, among them a certain Gangeya (5, 9; 9, 32), the brahmins Khandaga, a 56 Schubring's paragraph references of the Suyagada refer to the 1879-80 Bombay ed., which Jacobi also used for his translation. Later editions (e.g., Bombay 1917 and 1950) have a different numbering of the paragraphs. Since the editio princeps is no longer available the glossaries in Jambuvijaya 1978 or Mahaprajna 1980 may be consulted.

King Udayana of Kosambi and his mother are content with the visit (alone), whereas his aunt Jayanti is won over to become a nun (12, 2). The king of Sindhusovira, with the same name, who converts himself to a lay follower, may be someone else (13,6). What is very significant is that Mahavira does not speak at all; on the contrary, Goyama (11, 4), a certain Niyanthiputta (5, 8) and even generally the thera bhagavanto (1, 9, see p. 10 above) successfully appear and, indeed, even the laymen Isibhaddaputta (11, 12) and Madduya (18, 7) express their views on questions of faith, coming from a friendly or unfriendly side, to the satisfaction of the master. On the other hand, recognition is also given to teachers who are devotees of Pasa who answer questions from pious laity in Mahavira's sense (12,5), who himself repeatedly refers to Pasa (5,9; 9, 32). This instruction to the laity took place at the holy place of Pupphavaiya near Tungiya. (57) The scenes of the other events mentioned here are Moya, Alambhiya and Savatthi. A hot spring near Rayagiha, the Mount Vebhara there and the name of this city itself play a role. Events contemporary to the period are the battle of the stone missiles" and the battle of the chargingchariots" (7,9).59 (19) From the content of the instructions and remarks in the Viyahapannatti as well, one obtains a clearer picture of the figure of the founder (60) than from anywhere else in the texts with the same outline. Mahavira appears to us as a person when admits that the close relationship between himself and Goyama has occurred in numerous existences of both of them in the worlds of gods and humans (14,7), and when he commends Goyama for his own unique quickness of repartee demonstrated in various disputes (18,8). Madduya finally obtains Mahavira's approval because he (Madduya) refutes the opponent without drawing the sanctity of the doctrine into the battle of word (18, 7). At that time a competent,6 little monk called Aimutta was a disciple of the monk [and] Lord Mahavira.

The little monk Aimutta then saw a rivulet flowing. He built a dam out of clay, put the begging bowl like a ship on the water and let it swim in it happily, as if he were the captain: this was now his little ship. Worthy monks62 saw this. They went to the monk [and] Lord Mahavira and said: "Such and such your venerable's disciple, the little monk Aimutta [does). After how many existences, o master, will the little monk Aimutta [indeed] obtain liberation?" The monk [and] Lord Mahavira said to the venerable ones: "You dear ones, so [thus) my disciple, the competent,63 little monk Aimutta (does]. This little monk Aimutta will be liberated in this very existence. Therefore you should not reproach the little monk Aimutta yourself, do not rebuke him in front of others nor in his face, 64 nor regard him poorly. O venerable ones, you should rather) take care of the little monk Aimutta untiringly amongst yourselves, serve him with food [and] drink, regard and help. The little monk Aimutta will effect the end, he is living in his last incarnation." When the venerable ones had been so warned by the monk [and] Lord Mahavira they respectfully bowed to him and were untiring towards the little monk Aimutta, as they were told (5, 4). The events preceding Aimutta becoming a monk are in Antag. 6. (65) According to the text he came from a very good home, and we are perhaps not entirely wrong in thinking that this circumstance influenced Mahavira, because he always found support from the nobility, and predicted liberation or divine existence for the believers of the old generations (20,8). The biography of Mahavira narrated in Cula 3 and then in Jinacariya, as is well-known, says he was conceived by the brahmin woman Devananda, but born from the ksatriyani Tisala, after the angel Hari Negamesi (66) transferred him from the womb of the former to that of Tisala. (20) Contrary to this view, which in fact belongs to the attempt to form a Jaina mythology on the model of the brahmin one where Baladeva as an embryo is transferred from Rohini to Devaki,67 is the fact that Mahavira himself admits being Devananda's son to Goyama (9,33): "The brahmin woman Devananda is my mother (ammaga), and I am her son (attaya)." She had made a pilgrimage to him with her husband Usabhadatta and stood in front of him with breasts 62 One is a thera (old) through knowledge, age or a long career as a monk (Vav. 10, 14). 63 See fn. 55 above. ** So according to Abhayadeva's commentary. ** See also Malvania 1970, p. 2 and Balbir in Chojnacki 2001, p. 163 ---Monks are forbidden to go about during the rains!

Page #45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 26 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring flowing (agaya-panhava) out of former love, looking at him unflinchingly. Mahavira himself admits her into the order and entrusts her to the nun Candana under whose charge she obtains liberation, as also her husband. The feature of the legend which we come across here with "breasts flowing" does not prevent us from noticing a considerable antiquity in this report which could not possibly be removed. On the other hand, the formation of the legend has been acknowledged at another place, where Mahavira is made responsible for the acquaintance with the role of Hari Negamesi already mentioned above: he apparently describes himself (5, 4) how: "Hari Negamesi, Indra's messenger, carefully taking hold (of it), removes the painless fruit. He is able to take the fruit of the woman on the tip of a nail or on a hair, or to pull it out, and this so gently that the fruit is caused neither pain nor agony at all and it only abrases her skin." When we refer to the well-known reports about the heresy of Jamali (9,33) and Gosala (15) which with the defection of the son-in-law and disciple must have been decisive events in Mahavira's life, then with it we arrive finally at the teaching personality of the master. Much of what has been collected in the Viyahapannatti is determined by the situation prevailing then. The lively play of intellectual powers summons Mahavira many times into action against teachers of false wisdom; the views of such annautthiya are often dealt with all together. Unfortunately here one finds just one assertion against another, a reason is not given; still at times it has just to do with a reaffirmation of a sentence doubted by an opponent. The question about the simultaneity of a state of affairs and action plays a big role. It seems though, that the doctrines appearing in different places (as answers) to this question have to be seen as part of one and the same context.69 (21) A great deal is reported about miraculous powers. The appearance of gods, whether their names are mentioned or not, in front of Mahavira could be attributed to hallucinations; the 68 Cf. Leumann 1889, pp. 335f. (Kleine Schriften, pp. 519ff.). (On Jamali see also Dundas 2002, p. 46 and on Gosala, Basham 1951 (reviewed in Schubring 1954 = Kleine Schriften, pp. 468-475), pp. 34ff. (WB).) 69 At one and the same time one causes only one life, namely, this here or the one beyond, not both (1,9)... Speech is speech only when it is spoken, not before nor after, but it is always the speech of a speaker, not of a non-speaker. An action brings harm not before but during its performance and when it is performed (1,10). An action cannot be performed simultaneously as a religious duty and out of a wicked impulse (1, 10)... A being can have only one sex at one and the same time (2, 5). To each life are attached innumerable others. At one and the same time one is conscious only of one life, namely, this here or the one beyond (see the beginning; 5, 3). Similarly, one is perhaps to connect the places dealing with sensation, 5, 5 and 6, 10 (twice). Page #46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas exact knowledge of everything they do, their past and their future, however, arises at least out of the urge for knowledge on the part of the listeners and the urge to communicate on the part of the speaker. For, without doubt it was a case of outdoing the opponent with regard to supernatural matters. Thus, in the conclusion of a single case, when the god Camara decides to put an end to Sakka's lustful activity and attacks him with Mahavira's consent, but who then in the face of the lightning hurled by Sakka flees back to him (Mahavira), as a result of which the god is still able to catch hold of the missile in flight and apologizes to the master-the general capability of the gods to catch hold of an object in flight is dealt with (3, 2). That gods get over mountains or a wall which are in their way (14, 5) is almost taken for granted. But what is almost hardly granted is that they bring about dances on someone's eye-lashes (divvam battisaiviham natta-vihim uvadamsettae), or that Sakka can take the head of a person temporarily, in both cases without those concerned having a problem because of it (14, 8). The descriptions, though, are also of purely earthly matters. The system of doctrines which Mahavira built up makes him know about the wind as arising ultimately through the instigation on the part of the wind gods (5, 1), that of rain through the command of Pajjanna and Sakka, that of eclipse, on the other hand, through the order of Isana to the officials who carry it out (14, 2), the explanation of the light of day and the darkness of the night from the condition of the smallest particles of matter (5, 9), and many other (things); the appearance of the red morning sun leads to the declaration that the god Suriya and his glow are identical (14, 9). But we also hear about the duration of the ability to germinate of certain seeds which are preserved sealed up, and immediately following this, about the number of breaths within an hour, which then leads further to a discussion on the measure of time (6, 7) and on the cause of the internal sounds with a galloping horse (10, 3). Apparently here too, as in numerous other cases, competition required the ability to give exact information and the wisdom of an ignoramus was unknown. All these remarks concern what in the Viyahapannatti brings us closer to Mahavira's humanity, and so it is obvious to ask whether the doctrines proclaimed there and elsewhere, together with the dogmatic technical language traceable back to him, until otherwise proved, entail traces of a mode of expression personally his own. The question is to be answered in the 27 A fragment of the same incident is included in the Jivabhigama because of the word poggala (869a, of the old 1884 Benares edition (the Ladnun ed. does not give the corresponding page (WB))). Page #47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring affirmative. Numerous parallels, faithfully preserved as such, demonstrate Mahavira's attempt to make what he means comprehensible to his listeners. In order that they understand him he has to lower himself down considerably and take the environment into consideration. Thus: the blow of an axe causes the same pain to an old man as an (22) injury to an elementary being (19, 3); the innumerable glances directed at a dancer, (glances) whose close compactness, and yet isolation, correspond to the same qualities of space points (11, 10); the pen for goats which is as full of their droppings as there occur origin and destruction in every point of space (12, 7). Souls and matter pervade each other like water a sinking ship (1,6); an action which monastic duty demands remains without consequence just as water flows away from a flawless surface of a boat, or evaporates on glowing iron (aya-kavalla), or like a bundle of dry grass (sukka tana-hatthaya) burns up in fire (3, 3). The gourd encrusted with clay--the well-known comparison is expressly put in Mahavira's mouth in Naya 671)-rises up from the bottom of the stream to the surface as soon as the burden dissolves; certain seeds burst open in dry heat and (the content) springs out;72 smoke beyond the area of a fire (indhana-vippamukka) takes a direction upwards; an arrow flies from the bow directly to the target: in the same way the soul of one who has overcome kamma journeys upwards on the strength of its freedom from all attachment and adhering to, from all bondage, all inner burning (nirandhanaya) and on the strength of the inherent impulse (puvva-paoga, 7, 1). The stratification in the cosmos where what is heavy is at the top and what is light at the bottom, insofar as wind rests on space, water on wind, earth on water, is first made believable on the example of a tube (vatthi) which one inflates [from the top] (adovei) and then closes the top (? uppim sitam,-or siyam"--bandhai), and then ties a knot in the middle (majjhenam ganthim bandhai), opens the knot at the top (uvarillam ganthim muyai), lets the air out (uv. desam vamei), and then fills the upper part with water (uv. d. au-yayassa purei). Then the top is closed again (? uppim sitam bandhai), the middle opened (majjhillam ganthim muyai), and the water rests on the air (se au-yae tassa vau-yayassa uppim uvari-tale citthai)! But if, further, someone ties a sack full of air on the hips (vattim adovei adovetta kadie bandhai) and then steps into deep water, then he floats on the top " See Schubring 1927, pp. 28f. (= Kleine Schriften, pp. 102f.); 1978, pp. 22f. (WB). 72 kala-simbaliya (=kalayabhihana-dhanya-phalika) i va mugga-si va masa-si va simbali (=vrksa-visesah) - si va eranda-minjiya (=eranda-phalam)i va unhe dinna sukka samani phudittanam eganta-m-antam gacchai. 73 This makes it impossible to separate uppimsi tam, which Abhayadeva considers possible. Page #48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Canon of the Svetambara Jainas (tassa au-yayassa uvari-tale citthai, 1,6). Suffice it for these more or less naive examples from the graphic explanations in the Viyahapannatti adapted to the mental capacity of the audience.74 When we turn to the similes we find ordinary snakes (jai-asivisa) with their amazing ability (23) to poison contrasted with creatures which are comparable in their effect in the animal, human and divine world (kamma-asivisa, 8, 2), without the oratorical achievement becoming prominent in the customary form of the presentation. The relation of the compared object to the surrounding is omitted, whereas it appears in the comparisons in Thana 4, 4, to which Leumann 1889, p. 331 has already drawn attention, and which, as the core of old oratorical allegories, we cannot ignore here. A teacher here is, in accordance with his inner wealth --in this we may follow the commentary-like the treasure chest (karandaga) of the rude Candala, of the conceited prostitute, the wealthy owner, or of the rich prince; it contains what one presupposes of it, and is as big as the sal tree or as bare as the ricin bush, or it disappoints the expectation. Just as fish move sometimes with the current, sometimes against it, seeking sometimes the bank and sometimes the middle of the water, so too a monk on the way for alms has a certain direction and preference. On the other hand, human beings are as (soft as) wax (madhusittha = madana) or lac, or (hard as] wood or clay; they are like iron, tin, copper or lead [just as heavy with the burden of sin or dignity); they are [valuable) like gold, silver or a diamond; (of different capacity or energy] like a saw (asi-patta = krakaca), a big or small knife (khura-patta; kalambaciriya-patta = kadambacirika, sastra-visesa), [having worldly tendencies in different intensity) like a net of straw (sumbha= trna-visesa, but rather, like sumbala), cane, leather or cloth (are of different strength] (new edition, Bombay 1918, folios 271 ff.). We should not forget, finally, also the description of the sexual instinct of women, men and napumsaga, how, because of the detailed descriptions, which the later texts preserved," it has been recorded in Jivabhigama II (old edition, Ahmedabad 1883, 1500, 1516, 177a). It is comparable, 74 The explanations about the magical ability to create a number of forms (3,5; 13,9) and about the dense abundance of creatures in the area of the human world and the lower regions (5, 6) leads, for the idea of a large number, to the words: se jaha namae juvaim juvane hatthenam hatthe genheija, cakkassa va nabhi arag'autta siya, evam eva ... (already in 3,1,1). The first comparison seems to want to present the density of the togetherness. They can pervade with poison a body that is half or just as big as Bharaha[vasa), Jambuddiva or Samayakhetta depending on whether it is a vicchuya (vrscika), mandukka, uraga or manussa snake. ? Probably just a deviating tradition is recorded when following this the comparison substituting pariyaya, "kind of being", with parivara, "studentship" is repeated. 77 Cf. Glasenapp 1915, pp. 25f. Page #49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring as the case may be, to the (concealed) glow of a (dried up) heap of dung (phumphua = karisagni, Desin. 6,84), to the [blazing] flame of a forest fire and to the [insatiable flame) of the burning city. We return now) to the Viyahapannatti in order to show once more how Mahavira teaches with wit a questioner who was not at all sure to be satisfied with his information (18, 10).78 "Is sarisava edible according to you?", the brahmin Somila asks him." I may not misuse those of my age, Mahavira answers with a bold play on words--because (24) the abhakkheya sarisava are for him in the first place abhaksyah sadssa-vayasah0--but a monk may eat mustard if someone else has prepared and given it to him. The same presupposition is valid for masa-beans, although neither masa as a month is the object of enjoyment, nor may masa as a measure of weight of gold or silver be an object of possession; the same holds for kulattha although a kulastha, a member of a good family, may naturally not be enjoyed by a monk. Si Although Mahavira's role in the formation of the doctrine itself must be basically disregarded here, as mentioned above (p. 27), two cases nonetheless may in conclusion be referred to in this respect since to the reader of the fifth Anga they are conspicuous as being peculiar to the founder. First the sentence: the irrevocable factum(r)2 that was put at the very beginning of the text, from which it is clear that already at that time it was regarded as a revered passage, indeed a sense for what is really ancient in the fragments handed down is clearly evident:83 "What is about to move, is regarded as moving; what one is about to set in motion, as set in motion; what one is about to make tangible, as made tangible; what one is about to get rid of, as gotten rid of; what one is about to cut, as cut; what one is about to break, as broken; what one is about to burn, as burnt; what one is about to kill, as killed; what one is about to eradicate, as eradicated." "These nine word (-pairs "-called as such in special remarks further--"are [intrinsically] different "* In this case he thought of making him a nippatha-pasina-vagarana. " According to Abhayadeva chala-grahanenopahasartham. 30 And as such mitta-sarisava, i.e., saha-jayaya, S.-vaddhiyaya and saha-pamsukiliya.

A man aiming at an antelope is killed by another man, but the arrow flies off and hits the animal. Here again the incomplete action is the same as the completed one. 87 (25) Similarly an intention to confess an offence is the same as the fulfilment which is hindered by adverse conditions;88 indeed a woollen thread is already burnt when thrown into a fire (one should notice the care taken in the choice of the object of comparison), a cloth becomes coloured the moment it falls into the container of bright red madder (8,6). When finally certain opponents deny that what is about to be given is already given, and then add the objection, (namely that, to accept a gift which does not reach the donee because a third party intervenes, implies an unallowed appropriation, because the object still belongs to the donor,--then it is pointed out by Mahavira's disciples that they themselves are indebted to him because the donee possesses the object, since the act of giving is any case completed. The disciples accuse the annautthiya (heretics) of the same offence they are accused of against the living earth, where the activity of walking, indeed the intention to walk, would have to be regarded as the same as the com * In his personal copy Schubring marked this with a question mark (?) and wrote next to it: "consonant and vowel" (WB). ** calamane calie (1) udiriijamane udirie (2) veijjamane veie (3) pahijjamane pahine (4) chijjamane chinne (5) bhijjamane bhinne (6) dajjhamane daddhe (7) mijjamane mae (8) nijjarijjamane nijjinne (9).

They are described each together with two varieties to Mandiyaputta (3, 3)) (ascribed to Mahavira,(WB)), connected with a specific action (1,6 and 17, 4, and also 5, 6 and 16,3). Many kinds come under consideration with one and the same action in 1, 8, 5, 6; 9, 34; 16, 1. 8; 17, 1; 8,6; iriyavahiya and samparaiya kiriya, an action with passing and persisting effect are dealt with in 1, 10, 7, 1.7, 8, 9, 10, 2.

To this repeated appearance of the tenet one may add that putting together the beginning and conclusion of a new birth in 12, 8 is expressly traced back to Mahavira's utterance: samane bhagavam Mahavire vagarei: uvavajjamane uvavanne tti vattavvam siya. These words contain at the same time the other characteristic sign of the Mahavirian mode of expression which should be mentioned here: the use of syat. The word siya/siya can function in an adverbial sense which, when employed twice, can express "partly ... partly", as well as in the usual verbal sense. The utterance thereby contains the indefinite colouring the inventor of the doctrine of standpoints wishes to give it. Thus, there is in the utterance just mentioned, as in a number of other vattavvam siya, apparently nothing other than "one can let the assertion be valid." Mahavira realized that an object is subject to a different judgement, depending on the viewpoint from which one observes it. The general form, though, is not to be attributed to him; it belongs rather to the syadvada of which the canon does not yet know;" for Mahavira, however, the sentence was justified without restriction (to a particular standpoint), as manifold examples of disparate content and various types show, even the one mentioned earlier. That he discovered it is less the result of speculation than of life experience. Mahavira professed with determination the moral tenets he laid down, and the structure of the world and content of the world which he proclaimed; at the same time he also had the capacity common to (many) great intellects to observe facts of life from different sides. We may see his doctrine of standpoints as the philosophical outcome of this gift which, in its components, at the same time evinces his intellectual eminence. gamamane gae, viikkamijjamane viikkante, Rayagiham nagaram sampaviukame sampatte (neuters!). 0 The echo of vattavva in the word vaktavya of the syadvada formula is, of course, incidental.

Then the wonderful lotus flew over [to him]. I have narrated a simile, you venerable ones, but (you also) have to understand its sense. 11. The monks and nuns piously venerated the monk [and] Lord Mahavira and spoke thus: "Lord, [you have) narrated a simile, venerable one, but we do not understand its sense." The monk [and] Lord Mahavira turned to the many monks and nuns and said the following: Venerable ones, this I am saying, explaining, narrating, proclaiming; I am elucidating its meaning, its reasons, its causes in detail. 12. Truly I say: with regard to the world, you venerable ones, I spoke of the lotus pond; with regard to the effective deed, you venerable ones, I spoke of water, with regard to desires and their fulfilment, you venerable ones, I spoke of sludge; with regard to the subjects, you venerable ones, I spoke of the many lotus plants, with regard to the king, you venerable ones, I spoke of the one lotus with the wonderful blossom; with regard to other faiths, you venerable ones, I spoke of the four men; with regard to (my) teaching, you venerable ones, I spoke of the monk: with regard to the rescue through (my) teaching, you venerable ones, I spoke of the bank; with regard to the sermon of (my) teaching, you venerable ones, I spoke of the call; with regard to extinction, you venerable ones, I spoke of the flying up. With regard to all this truly, you venerable ones, I have spoken this so. 13.

Furthermore, it involves killing the flower, a living being, and thereby offends the first monastic vow of ahimsa. Since, however, the lotus symbolizes the king ( 13 below) the monk intends to convert him and his subjects (8 14).

In Jainism nirvana, however, is not extinction, because the soul continues to exist at the top of the head of the cosmic person; therefore "flying up". Real extinction is a Buddhist idea.

It is impossible to link it to the context. One notes also the difference in language with regard to jive and sarire in what came earlier; tamha is tolerable in the first place, at the most. The framing in of a second proof into the first led in time to more confusion, and teachers as well as copyists who, moreover, are used to connecting a positive su-y-akkhaya with their own teaching, have lost the thread. For the old interpreters logical difficulties in the wording are non-existent. (Norman 1996, p. 179 takes se jaha namae in the next $16 as nominatives (WB).) 2 Cf.

But later they did not safter all) renounce. They themselves take [what they should not have,]40 they make others take, or they agree to it when others take. Similarly, they are deluded(41) by pleasures with women, filled with desire, bound, excited, greedy, under the spell of love and hate. They bring neither themselves, 42 nor another person, nor others, (as there are] lower animals, plants, higher beings (and) the remaining living beings, nearer to ultimate liberation (from the world).

If he is prudent then he recognizes perhaps the following by himself: 'An unpleasant sickness could indeed befall me, an unwelcome one, displeasing, not good, not nice, disagreeable, annoying, unpleasant, not pleasing; therefore, o you pleasures, relieve me of [here he names them) this and that unpleasant sickness, the unwelcome one ... not pleasing! Under it I am unhappy, [or:) sad, dejected, depressed, worried, suf fering. [The life of pleasure) should relieve me of this [here he names it] certain sickness, 38. the unwelcome one ... not pleasing! Until then this has not been allotted showever, to him). In this world pleasures do not serve for protection or refuge. A person [it is who) one day on his/her part gives up the pleasures, or the pleasures are the ones which] one day on their part abandon the person; [a person, by saying:] 'the pleasures are there, I am here.' Why then do we delude ourselves sometimes through these, sometimes through those pleasures? If we think in this way we shall give up the pleasures. Whoever is prudent recognizes well indeed that they are an external thing. 39. The following (howeveraffects (us) more directly: [A person says:) 'I have a mother, 57 Literally: "tools of the trade". ** This can only mean: under the pressure of their new conviction, because there is no external compulsion to become a monk. (See, however, e.g., Haribhadra's Samaraiccakaha 472, 11 (WB).) >> I suppose that here it does not have to do with a mam'atthae = mad-artham, which in the context would be surprising, but with a form similar to mamaga, mamaga: mamatthaga mamarthaka. Cp. majjhattha I 1,4, 12 from mahyam +artha; - annam annam, rightly means anyad anyad Sil. 60 The MSS have padimoeu. From the context of the speaker this would also be possible: "no one yet has had to suffer such things".

If he is prudent then he recognizes perhaps on his own the following: 'An unpleasant sickness could indeed befall me, an unwelcome one, ... not pleasing; therefore, o you dear family members, relieve me indeed of [here he names it] this and that sickness, the unwelcome one... not pleasing! Under it I am unhappy ... suffering. Free me of [here he names 40. it] this specific sickness the unwelcome one... not pleasing!' Until then this is not allotted [however, to him]." Or [perhaps he recognizes the following:] 'An unpleasant sickness could indeed befall my dear family members, an unwelcome one, ... not pleasing; oh, therefore, I [want to] relieve my dear family members of [here he names it] this specific sickness, the unwelcome one... not pleasing!' Until then this is not allotted [however, to him]. [For,] 41. from the suffering of the one, another [can] not relieve [him]; what one causes, another does not atone for [this]. Each one is born for oneself, each one dies for oneself, each one reaps for oneself a lower, each one a higher, form of existence. Sounds, consciousness," mind, sensation are determined personally. In this world the attachment to family members does not serve for protection or refuge. A person [it is who] one day on his/her part gives up the attachment to family members, or the attachment to family members [is what] one day on its part abandons the person; [the person, by saying:] 'the attachment to [my] family members is different, I am different.' Why then do we delude ourselves through attachment sometimes to this, sometimes to that family member? If we think in this way we shall give 42. up the attachment to the family members. Whoever is prudent recognizes well indeed that it is an external thing. 62 Compare (Suy. II 2, 12 and) the note to Ayar. I 6, 12 (= su. 62, 1917 ed.). 63 The other terms appearing in the edition are not attested in the MSS, apart from pesa, "domestic servants", which in one case appears as peha after sunha. 64 See note 56 above. 45 65 jhanjha is an intensive form and originally expressed surely just a repeated articulation of this or that content. The meaning kalaha was developed only subsequently and is not useful here. 66 sanna could also be translated as "instinct, drive"; patteyam manna following it is without doubt originally just a scribal error. (Schubring's note in his personal copy: ega sanna ega manna Than. 19b 6 (WB).) Page #65 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring The following [however) affects [us even) more directly: [A person says:] 'I have hands, feet, arms, chest, abdomen, head, mentality, life, energy, colour, skin, complexion, ear, eye, nose, tongue [and] feeling.' He is proud of what for him perishes in old age: of life ... feeling. (For,] a joint in good condition will become loose; the body will become wavy on account of wrinkles, the black hair will become grey: this natural body built up on nourishment, when its turn comes, has to be left behind. Out of such a deliberation (that person]6% decided on the way of alms. A monk should recognize the world as twofold, namely, (as made up of] sentient [beings] and insentient [things), [and the former of independently) moving and (independently] non43. moving (beings). Those in the world who live in a house carry out activity (and) ownership; even some wandering brothers and monks carry out activity (and) ownership. [Activity: because they themselves act against the creatures which are (independently) moving and (independently] non-moving (injuriously), have another act [injuriously against them) and 44. approve of it when another acts [injuriously against them). Those in this world who live in a house carry out activity (and) ownership; even some wandering brothers and monks carry out activity (and) ownership. (Ownership: because) they themselves make as their own the pleasures directed at sentience or insentience, have another make (them) his own and ap45. prove of it when another makes (them) his own. [Yes) truly: those in this world who live in a house carry out activity (and) ownership; even some wandering brothers and monks carry out activity (and) ownership. I, in truth, am without activity and ownership. Those, now, who live in a house carry out activity (and) ownership, even some wandering brothers and monks who carry out activity [and] ownership--with regard to these we want to live a pious life. (But] what leads us to it? As the preceding (was] so [is] the succeeding, [and] 67 In the edition jamsi seems to be an old mistake for jam se (Sil. yat kimcit; C jassim ... mamati, tassi[m] ... jhurati). The following ablatives are under the influence of vayao for nominatives. * se bhikkhu before bhikkhayariyae is not in the right place. Whoever is already a monk need not have to decide about monastic life (bhikkhayariya). On the other hand, it is quite improbable that the speaker glides into the new section of his discourse without a sentence end with the help of a participial expression. I am therefore putting a full stop after samutthie and beginning anew: se bhikkhu duhao .... (Above "right place" Schubring noted in his personal copy: "cf. Ayar. p. 139 of the edition." This could not be found (WB).) Page #66 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The Lotus (Suyagada II 1.) 47 as the succeeding [is] so (was) the preceding. That is how it is! Those have not renounced 46. they are not willing: (they will be) repeatedly so. Those, now, who live in a house carry out activity (and) ownership, even some wandering brothers and monks who carry out activity [and] ownership-in both cases they are committing wrong: on the basis of such a deliberation a monk should conduct himself according to the saying: 'at both ends deficient?! 47. in the east, west, north (or) south. Truly, I say:12 thus has he recognized the deeds [as inju rious), thus the deeds have left him, thus has he put an end--this is what has been said.73 48. On this occasion, for the purpose (of the knowledge of the six forms of life, the Lord pro pounded the class of earth beings, [those of the water beings, those of the fire beings, those of the wind beings, those of the plant beings and] those of the [independently) moving [animals): exactly as it is not nice to me if, with a stick, a bone, (74) fist, a clod of earth or a potsherd, I am wounded, struck, threatened, beaten, hurt, hit hard or killed-(yes, even if just a hair of mine is pulled out I feel vividly the injury which causes (me) suffering and fear [of it)--so too, know [this] all higher beings, all plants, all lower animals, all other living beings if wounded ... or killed with a stick ..., [indeed] even if just a hair of theirs is pulled out,feel vividly the injury which causes (them) suffering and fear (of it). If one has recognized this, then [it is certain that) no higher being, no plant, no lower animal, no other 69 I.e., the future form of existence corresponds to the present mode of life. Cp. the same words in Ayir. I 16, 2. 70 Literally: "rightly (so]!" But the three sentences are indeed merely a rhetorical question, answer and confirmation. 7 With "both ends" birth and death are to be understood; this expression is impossible for love and hate, or activity and ownership (thus Sil.). Induced by duhao, we have either a quotation of a verse fragment also appearing in Ayar. I 15, 27 (= su. 116, 1917 ed.); 14,4 (= su. 110), or it itself, see there. 1. To me there is no doubt that these words belong here indeed, instead of before the directions. "Siti-m-akkhayam, the same below 2, 79; 3, 2, etc. 74 See Bollee 2002, $ 806 under athi-juddha, for which also 'fighting with the knees' was proposed, but obviously bones were also used as weapons (WB). The speaker forgets that this case can apply for only one or two of the mentioned classes of beings.

Truly, I say: the venerable saints who were, who are and who will be, they all say, they speak, proclaim, explain the following: no lower animal, no plant, no other living being may be beaten, commanded, subdued, strained (or) killed. This is the pure, constant, eternal teaching proclaimed by those who know, because they go to the world. In this way a monk renounces violence against living beings (untruth, unallowed acquisition, sexual intercourse and] ownership. He may not clean his teeth with a rubbing stick, (use) make-up, purgatives, 50. scents, nor acquire (any).?? A monk is free from an (effective] act, free from injury (of the faith), free from anger, pride, deceit, greed, peaceful, dead to the world); he should not indulge in the desire: 'through what I have seen, heard, known, recognized, or through the effect of this my penance, self-restriction and chastity to which I have been diligently devoted, or through this (my] habit of being satisfied with what is absolutely necessary to live, I would like to be, when I am gone away and departed from here, a god who commands all 51. pleasures, or a perfect being who is beyond the bad and the good,' [or:) 'I would like to be there, I would not like to be there.'A monk is not deluded by sounds, pictures, kinds of taste, smells (or] feelings; he has renounced anger, pride, deceit, greed, love, hate, quarrel, slander, gossip, defamation, displeasure as well as pleasure, deception and falsity, [and finally] wrong faith, this thorn; (78) in this way he has come away from great [karman) absorption 52. [and] come to peace, he is willing [and] has earnestly renounced, he the [right] monk. He does not himself act against (independently) nor non- (independently) moving beings, nor has another act [against them), nor does he approve of it if another acts (against them]; so 53. he is ... willing [and] has earnestly renounced, he the [right] monk.

If, on the other hand, he knows as follows: 'they (the donors) possess forces for whom it is meant, namely, as a present for the own sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, nurse, relations, prince, 82 servants and maids, male and female workers, as a festival present for each of them, for an evening (or) morning meal a (food) stock is donated for a number of fellow beings to eat,' then the monk may take the food in the way in which a snake (quickly slips back] in the hole, since it is prepared for another person, placed there for another (if it, further,) is free of objections on the part of the donor, of the donee and for acceptance, has gone through an instrument, has been prepared with an instrument, is harmless, obtained during the search, given to a suppliant (and) has been only placed (for him in the bowl) as part of the entire alms because of these good reasons to a permitted degree, as if it were The words se bhikkhu are probably to be supplemented on the model of 51-53. They are omitted in 54 because the next sentence begins with se bhikkhu. 30 For what follows cp. Ayar. II 1, 1, 11 and I 34, 10ff. (= su. 202, 1917 ed.). Instead of assim I am reading, as do the MSS ADBGb, assam in the first place. Sil. also read it so there, as is evident from his explanation: na vidyate sva-dravyam asya, so 'yam asvah (1879 ed. p. 12, 9 asvah); nirgrantha ity arthah. But it seems to be obvious to suppose an original asmam = asman. (The 1917 Bombay ed., fol. 325a5f. reads: assam padiye iti na vidyate svam - dravyam asya so 'yam asvo -- nirgrantha ... (WB).) In the sense of "dependent people," (see Leumann's review p. 2 (English tr. of it in Appendix 2 below).) Or: parakkame jass 'attha, "power(-display) by virtue of which".

Food, drink, clothes, shelter, a night's 57. lodging, [he should accept] each in its time; a [right] monk observes moderation. If he has come [forwards] to any main or side route then he should 50 'communicate, announce, praisingly proclaim;" the doctrine to those ready to act [and] to unprepared ones who [however] are ready to listen, he proclaims peace, renunciation, peaceableness, extinction, purity, honesty, humility; the doctrine which does not offend any lower animal, any plant, any higher being [and] any other living being he proclaims praisingly in logical development,** 58. When a monk praisingly proclaims the doctrine he should not announce it for the sake of food, drink, clothing, a night's lodging, a resting place [or] any other kind of pleasures; he should communicate the doctrine untiringly, exclusively and solely to erase the effect of a 59. a previous deed. Thereby, then, after they heard [and] learnt the doctrine from the monk, rising with right energy, brave ones have set out in this doctrine. Those [however], after they heard [and] learnt the doctrine from the monk, rising with right energy, bravely setting out in this doctrine, have obtained every 60. thing, have concluded everything, are completely peaceful [and] totally extinguished-so I say. In this way is the [right] monk intent upon the doctrine, knowing the doctrine, taking an individual standpoint. As that was said [previously]: he has the wonderful lotus, or he does not have it." Thus the [right] monk has recognized the actions, the attachment [to the world and] living in a house [as injurious], is peaceful, attentive, ready, always keen. He is to be called as follows: wandering brother, pious man, patient, controlled, on guard, liberated, a seer, a wise man, prudent, knowledgeable, monk, [used to] hardship, craving for the beyond, in the hustle and bustle knowing the goal on the other side-so I say. 84 Compare Ayar.

The general impression of A is of a subsequent compensation as a consequence of the one-sided negating content of B. B. On forbidden action. 1.

(25-27): Appendix: prohibited influence on people (purisa-vijaya). I have heard, o venerable one, that the Lord has spoken thus [as follows]. Here [is] now the section of the teaching called "The Ways of Action". The following content [is] known of it. Here two cases are being presented in summary, namely, merit and guilt, peaceful and without peace. The discourse on the first case, however,-[and this should be] guilthas the following content. In this world truly, in the east, west, north [or] south, there are many people, as there are Aryans, non-Aryans, nobles, inferiors, big, small, well-coloured, discoloured, well formed [and] deformed; and they [exercise] the committing of violent deeds, as the case may be, to ...' and whatever else such beings there are which are sentient and feel pain, of the following kind. [Another tradition:] And for them apply, so it has been proclaimed, the following thirteen cases of violent deeds. They arise out of: (1) purposeful violent deed, (2) purposeless violent deed, (3) militant violent deed, (4) accidental violent deed, (5) a violent deed through an optical illusion, (6) an act that The text has: "to hell beings, animals, people or gods," which is meaningless because people cannot commit an offence to hell beings and gods. 2 The first five of these thirteen cases are also in fact to be supposed after the words: "of the following kind".

Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring occurs in untrue speech, (7) in unallowed acquisition, (8) in [a bad] mood, (9) in pride, (10) in doing wrong to friends, (11) in deception, (12) in greed, (13) in prescribed action. The first [kind of] committing a violent deed occurs through a purposeful violent deed.' For example, a man himself lets off for the sake of himself, his relations, his house, his domestic servants, his friends, for the sake of a naga, bhuta or yaksa, this [or that] violent deed against [independently] and non- [independently] moving creatures, makes another to let [it] off against them, or approves of it when another lets [it] off [against them]. Thus, for its sake, one speaks of [bad] action with regard to him. The first [kind of] committing a violent deed occurs through a purposeful violent deed.4 Now [comes] the second [kind of] committing a violent deed; it occurs through a purposeless violent deed. For example, a man-seizes the animals around us which move around freely, not for the sake of the [whole] body, not for its skin, flesh, blood, heart, gall, fat, tail (feathers), tail [hair], tail, horn, tusk, incisor tooth, fang, claw, sinew, bones, bone-marrow, [also] not because they have injured him, injure him [at present or] will injure him, [also] not for the sake of caring for a child or cattle, for equipping the house better, or for the livelihood of wandering brothers and monks." He massacres, cuts, shatters, plunders, robs, destroys. Apart from children whoever purposelessly commits a violent deed partakes of cruelty. For example, a man-seizes the plants around us which do not move around freely, like ikkata, kadhina, jantuga, paraga, mokkha,' [normal] grass, kusa grass, kucchaga, babbaya," [normal] straw, not for the sake of caring for a child or cattle, for equipping 3 Here and in the related places literally: "is called occurring (through)...." 4 See previous footnote. 5 The sentence construction is disturbed after -vattana-heum because by way of a summary no tassa (written panassa) sariragassa kimci is inserted. In this case tassa is either inaccurate for tesim or wrong for tasa. ujjhium bale. A noteworthy admission! One should not supplement ujjhitva simply with sad-vivekam, as Sil. does (C is silent about this). (Schubring's note in his personal copy: "Madhva and others let karman take effect only in adults" (WB).) 7 Not moksa (Jacobi 1895, p. 157) but muska. All the plants mentioned here are especially for sleeping on or for covering. Probably to be read so instead of pappaya, compare the note to Kappa. 2, 30. (In Ayar. II 2, 3, 18 Jacobi reads paccaga, the Curni vaccaga. The 1975 Ladnun ed. p. 135 (SS 63) omits the word, which corresponds to Pali pabbaja, babbaja and Sanskrit balbaja (WB).)

He ... who purposelessly performs a violent deed. A man, for example, piles up grass in a vegetable garden, in a royal meadow, in a slope, in an elevation from the water, [in a place) in the bush, forest or mountains, be it reachable easily or with difficulty, and himself makes a fire, or makes another make a fire, or approves of it when one makes a fire in a purposeless violent deed. Thus, ... (like 5, until) action. The second [kind of] committing a violent deed occurs through a purposeless violent deed. Now [comes) the third [kind of] committing a violent deed; it occurs through a militant violent deed. A man, for example, [because he thinks that] one of his own, man or woman, or anyone else, man or woman was injured, is being injured, or will be injured, raises a weapon against (independently) and non- [independently) moving creatures, makes another raise it, or approves of it when another raises it in militant violent action. Thus, ... (like 5, until) action. The third [kind of] committing a violent deed occurs through a militant violent deed. Now [comes] the fourth [kind of] committing a violent deed; it occurs through an accidental violent deed. A man, for example, who lives on deer, thinks of deer, demands deer, goes deer hunting and shoots his arrow in a vegetable garden ... (like 8, until) with difficulty in order to kill a deer, thinking he sees one. Although he wants to aim at the deer he hits a partridge, a quail of this or that kind,' a sparrow, a pigeon," or a hazel-grouse. Thus, then, he hits one thing for the sake of another. (Or] for example, a man who plants water-rice, rain-rice, koddava, millet, paraga, or rala'2 pulls out a knife in order to cut some grass. As he wants to cut samaga grass, kumuduga, vihi-usiya, [or] kalesuya he cuts the water-rice, rain-rice, koddava, millet, paraga, or rala. Here, then, he meddles in one thing for the sake of another.

The fourth [kind of] committing a violent deed occurs through an accidental violent deed. Now [comes] the fifth [kind of] committing a violent deed; it occurs in a violent deed through an optical illusion. A man, for example, who lives together with his mother and father and their family members, with brothers, sisters, wives, sons, daughters, or daughters-in-law, (13) regards someone [of them] who means him well, as one who means him badly and does something to him in a violent deed through an optical illusion. [Or] a man, for example, at a robbery in a village, city, a walled city, a city with ramparts, an isolated city, a city reachable either by land or by water, a city. reachable both by land and by water, at a metal mine," a place where monks reside, where pilgrims come together, where merchants live, or where a prince resides, regards an innocent person as the robber and does something to him in a violent deed through an optical illusion. Thus,... (like 5, until) action. The fifth [kind of] committing a violent deed occurs through an optical illusion. Now [comes] the sixth kind of acting;15 it occurs in untrue speech. A man, for example, for his own benefit, for the benefit of his relations, his house or his domestic servants, himself speaks the untruth, makes another speak it, or approves of it when another speaks it. Thus, ... (like 5, until) action. The sixth [kind of] of acting occurs in untrue speech. Now [comes] the seventh kind of acting; it occurs in unallowed acquisition. It happens, for example, that a man for his own benefit... or his domestic servants, himself takes something, makes another take something or approves of it when another takes something. Thus, ... (like 5, until) action. The seventh [kind of] acting occurs in unallowed acquisition. Now [comes] the eighth kind of acting; it occurs in [a bad] mood. There is, for 13 Cp. Suy. II 1, 39 for this enumeration (WB). 14 agara is omitted in the text, probably only by mistake. The translation of this part is like Ayar. I 37, 20 (su. 222 of the 1917 ed.; cp. Hemacandra's Trisasti 1, 6, 76 and Bollee 2002, SS 667 (WB)). In his Dipika Harsakula quotes a stanza which gives several other meanings, cp. Jacobi 1895, p. 359.

For example, out of pride of [his] caste, [his) family, [his] strength, [his) beauty, [his] penance, [his) scholarship, (his] successes, [his) power, or [his) knowledge, or out of pride of anything else, a man offends, blames, scolds, admonishes, humiliates, despises another; 'this is one of the others; but I am better and have the privileges of my caste, family, strength, etc.:' thus he blows himself up. [And yet) when he has left his body, alone with [his] effected act he goes away powerless, namely, from womb to womb, from birth to birth, from death to death, from hell to hell. He is cruel, unmoved, unsteady and arrogant. Thus, ... (like 5, until) action. The ninth [kind of] acting occurs in pride. Now (comes) the tenth kind of acting; it occurs in doing wrong to friends. A man, for example, who lives together with his mother and father and their family members, with brothers, sisters, wives, sons, daughters, or daughters-in-law, himself imposes on one of them a heavy punishment because of a minor offence: he immerses him in cold water, or pours hot water over him, burns him with fire, weals' his sides with a cord, cane, rope, leather,20 whip, [hard) grass?' or with a [rough) creeper, beats with a stick, bone, fist, (pelts him) with a lump of earth or with a potsherd.

The tenth [kind of] acting occurs in doing wrong to friends.24 Now [comes the eleventh kind of acting; it occurs in deception. Those [here) amongst us who lead a dark life, push their way through the darkness,as are light like owl-feathers,26 heavy like a mountain, though they are "noble ones,"(27) speak an ignoble language.

In the same way, a dishonest person, if he incurs a deception, does not confess it, either privately or publicly, he blames [himself] neither to himself nor in front of witnesses, he does not detach himself (from it], he is not cleansed (of it], he does not vow to avoid [it], he does not take upon himself the appropriate atonement through fasting."

Those [here] amongst us who live in forests, huts or villages, carry out secret practices, are not very controlled, not moderate towards all the lower animals, plants, higher beings and other living beings, they take recourse to half true, half untrue speech, in that they say: "me, one may not beat, command, take hold of, strain [or] destroy, [but] others one may beat, command, take hold of [or] strain [or] destroy." Likewise, they are deluded in the desire for women, filled with lust, fettered, agitated." After having enjoyed sense pleasures four or five years long, or six to ten years, sometimes less, sometimes longer, then they die at their destined time and are newly born in the abodes of gods of the underworld and of the lower heavenly classes. When they are released from there they always return anew as deaf and dumb," as born blind," or born dumb. Thus,... (like 5, until) action. The twelfth [kind of] acting occurs in greed. An able wandering brother and monk must recognize these twelve kinds of acting thoroughly [as being injurious]. Now [comes] the thirteenth kind of acting; it occurs in prescribed action.

Hence it is clearly explained why Sil. at this place interprets kagini as ratna (1917 ed. 319a 1.

"It is already indicated through the brackets that this description does not present the form of a single hell, which would also be difficult to imagine in this form, but of all their kinds. Later Jaina dogmatics (Jivabh. 215ff., Pannav 87) describe more exactly how the middle hells are round and those which are around them in rows are triangular or square, whereas the lowest four in the four directions are spread out triangularly (namely, like the blade of a knife). 118 $il. and DI derive -paha from path, "way," not from prabha, "lustre." 119 The indented lines entail a gaha part which we often come across in connection with vedhas incidentally, Sil. knows the reading nicc 'andha-tamasa), and two of them, of which only the second is disturbed in the middle, because in meya-vasa-mamsa-ruhira-puya-padala-cikkhalla-littanulevana-tala, by changing padala and cikkhalla, an odd gana is missing after puya (read puyana). As far as I can see these vedhas are new to those known from the Uvav., Jin., and Nayadh. 120 Sil. and, following him, Dt, separate asui-visa from parama-dubbhigandha. May we see here also a vedha, at least a remainder of it? 121 Instead of kanha CD correctly have kau, which however in C is also erroneously rendered as krsna, whereas Dt aims at kapota (kapotagni-varn 'abhah, dhamyamana-lohagni-jvala-kalpa iti bhavah).

Indeed here, in the east, south, west or north, there are all kinds of people who live without acting, without possessions, stand on the ground of what is right, agree to what is right, are devoted to the right, speak what is right, live in what is right, have the right in sight, are attached to what is right, are completely in the right in mentality and action, acquire their livelihood alone through what is right; so they lead their life. They (are] of good mentality, good habits, good in company and to please, pious [and] lifelong abstain from every kind of offence towards living beings and whatever kinds of activities which take place, just as blameworthy, not leading to knowledge, through which other beings will be harmed, these too they abstain from lifelong. Just as, then,!27 the venerable houseless ones are careful in gait, speech, gathering, putting down the utensils, in expelling faeces, urine, snot, spit [and] dirt, in thoughts, words [and] deeds are attentive and disciplined, restrain their senses [and] their way of life, are free from anger, pride, deceit [and] greed, peace loving, tranquil, peaceful, dead (to the world), devoid of the influences (of karman) and fetters, free of the stream [of the world and) without stain; without water (that adheres) like a brass pot, without fat (that adheres) like a shell, 128 without hindrance like the (whirling (bow-] string, 129 without support like the atmosphere, without fetters like the wind, of a pure heart, as water is pure) in autumn, without a stain like a lotus leaf, protecting the senses like a tortoise [its limbs), free like a bird, alone like the horn of a rhinoceros, (130) 126 On account of java after this, and according to the commentators: "from every untruth, every unallowed acquisition, every unchastity (and) every hanging on to possession" should follow. It is undeniable that what follows this hardly connects to it. In 75 instead of full validity partial validity would appear. Compare Uvav. 125. 123. 124. 127 70-72 are closely connected to Uvay. 27-30, in fact 70-71a literally. The borrowing on the part of the Suy. was indubitable to me only after the way in which 72 follows the course of the presentation in Uvav. 30. Following a phrase based on the introduction to 30 we have 30 I in cautthe bhatte until chammasie (bhatte), III until suddh'esaniya, IV until no niyama-rasa-bhoi, V until vippamukka; II therefore seems to have been left out, because the version which changes between the nominative singular feminine and the n. s. masculine makes the uniform construction with a n. pl. masculine difficult. That something has been overlooked is suggested by the words aduttaram ca nam, "and, further." In 72 hottha, which fits only in Uvav., is noteworthy. The beginning se jaha namae in 70 is inorganically placed in front; 70 and 71 are also in Jin. 118. The sequence of the comparisons there is identical with the one here; it is fixed by the two gahas, i.e., authentic. 12* A monk applies neither water nor ointment to his body. - In Uvav. 27 Q has jiva (= jya) instead of jiva, jive, jivo, evidently what is correct. 150 Wright 2001, p. 3, following Salomon 2000, plausibly argues that khagga-visana means 'rhinoceros' and not 'r.-horn' and that the tertium comparationis is its habit of grazing alone, not having only one horn.

The "question" means whether a monk follows a specific rule (he sadho, kim te diyate?

With such a way of life they attain a monk's age of many years. Whether or not a great deal of suffering befalls them they dispense with many dishes; then they leave out many meals; 142 [but] as soon as the reason for which one submits to going naked, bareness, dispensing with bathing, cleaning the teeth, umbrella (and) with bedding, sitting on the ground, on a plank or on wood, plucking out the hair, a chaste life and calling on houses of strangers, misses neither honour nor deprecation, abuse, scolding, insult, blame, pushing [and] beating, piercing language of different kinds in the villages!43 [and] complaints 144 about the twenty-two objections and hindrances, 14) to him they pay honour and with their last breath, rise to the infinite, highest, incontestable, unfettered, all-encompassing [and] complete kevala knowledge and view, and thereupon they attain the goal, awaken, become free, extinguish [and] put an end to all suffering. 138 suddh'esaniya covers all the rules already mentioned, rules which a monk gives himself in order to make the rounds for alms ascetically more difficult. The word is also at the end in Than. 351 ff., on the other hand, erroneously not in Uvav. 30 III where generally what belongs together is separated. In 70 the Uvav. was also not as good as the Jinacariya. 159 After this is anta-jivi panta-jivi, "they live on leftovers, from the last remnants." The words repeat ant'. ahara and pant'ahara, which just preceded them, and seem to be superfluous; they are also omitted in Uvav. and Than.

Ayavaya (Skt atapaka), explained by Leumann as 'submitting oneself to hard penances' seems to be corrupted to *agattaya in Suy. For Leumann's note on Uvav. here see Bollee 1997, pp. 357.

Truly here, in the east, south, west or north, there are all kinds of people who have (just) a few desires, perform (only) a little activity, have (only) little possessions, (and indeed] 75. 149 bhavanti, avare puna in the printed version is rightly omitted in Uvav. 56, and is to be removed from here too. 147 This threefold rhythm opens the description which goes from the bottom to the top, as required in the case of gods, and display more or less complete vedhas. Similarly in 76. 148 From dala in kundala onwards a vedha. That is why I do not want to read gandhayala, as in Uvav. 33 (= su 22). 149 Here a vedha is at least supposable. 150 In Uvay. 33 (fol. 49b 4, 1916 ed.

Instead, its addition to the next word produces the expected vedha: kallanaga-pavara-malla-gandhanulevana-dhara. 15 Partly together with Jin. 14 I am reading: bhasura-bondi-palambamana-vanamala-dharaya.

In the discussion about them by Jacobi 1895, p. 382' after the words:"that of the commentator", perhaps the name Harsakula, the author of the Dipika, is to be added, because the Dipika corresponds to the text exactly, and the contradiction between this state of affairs and Silanka's comment taken over unchanged by Harsakula is, indeed, plain.

In view of the inability to renounce, one speaks of a fool; in view of the power to renounce, one speaks of a wise one; in view of a mixture of renouncing and not renouncing, one speaks of a semi-fool and a semi-wise one. The lack of an accomplished renouncing is the case of acting which is ignoble ... (like 57, until) impious. The accomplished renouncing is the case of not acting which is noble ... (like 59, until) pious. A mixture of renouncing and not renouncing is the case of accomplished partial renounc aya-m-auso (he ayusman, C), perhaps means: ae a' (aye ayusman). To take ayam as a form of address or as related to the neuter pavayane is just as risky. The word atthe, which C and Uvav. have after pavayane, may be arthyam; the negation is anathe. 10 Metaphorically! aciyatta (anabhimata) is certainly correct, as opposed to ciyatta, Uvav. 94 (972 3; WB). 124 (105a 3 (WB)); on the other hand, dara has to be put after ghara in these places, because of Silanka; pura in Uvav. 124 is wrong.

Pure Life (Bambhaceraim) Preliminary remark: The necessary changes in the text on account of a new interpretation have all been indicated. The following are to be omitted from the corrigenda of the edition p. 109: 7,2. 21:11.11: 14,26: 16, 23:23: 34. 28; 41, 15. In the outer margin one finds the line number of the edition. What is to be ascribed to the "commentator" is given in round brackets and what has to inserted is in square brackets. (Schubring writes this at the bottom of the page, before his footnotes.) 1. Renunciation of a Tool 1) A. Prose. The certainty of being subjected to rebirth must lead to a withdrawal from every activity, especially from every offence towards living beings. B. Prose. It is useless to show regard for this life through outer forms. C. Sloka. The equality of all living beings and therefore the protection of: 1. human beings, 2. water, 3. fire, 4. plant, 5. animal, 6. wind. (Earth is omitted.) D. Sloka. The faithful monk and the unconverted one. E. Indravajra. The prudent and the fickle monk. I have heard, venerable one, that the Lord has spoken thus:? Some people here [on earth) have no consciousness whether they have come from an 1,5 easterly direction, or southerly, or westerly, or northerly, or whether the direction was from the top, or from the bottom, or whether they have [at all] come from any main route or from a side route. In the same way it is (also) unknown to some whether they have an I that is subjected to rebirth, or not, what they have been or what they will be when they have gone and departed from here.* One can [only] know this on the strength of one's own knowledge, through instructive clarification or through hearing it by chance) from others whether one has (namely] come from an easterly direction, or southerly, or west10 erly, or northerly, or whether the direction was from the top, or the bottom, or whether they have [at all) come from any main route or side route.

He believes (then) in an I, in a world, in the (repercussion of all] acts and in the freedom of the will.") (Since he believes in these he says:) 'I want to act, I want to cause to act, and I want approve of him who acts here.' 1,15 All these activities through acts in the world have to be recognized [as being injurious). But such a person has not recognized the acts [as being injurious] who has wandered through these main or side routes, who has to do with all these main or side routes, who moves between starting points of various kinds, experiences many influences. 20 Here, then, has been announced by the Lord, the insight [of the uselessness of the demonstration of praise, attention and respect towards this life so that the freedom from birth and death takes place, and thereby suffering be controlled. All these activities through acts in the world have to be recognized (as being injurious). He who [however) has recognized these activities through acts in world [as something injurious), is a wise one, who has recognized the acts (as being injurious]. So I say.*7 [1.] The world is wretched, decrepit (and thereby] unteachable, ignorant! In this much tormented world beings abide in (many) individual abodes; everywhere in (many) individual cases, see, [beings] cause pain, who [themselves) feel pain.

These variations here are taken in advance. In the text they are spread out in uddesas 3.-7 according to the apparent content of the stanza (see my edition, p. 57), whereby 2, 7f. is mistakenly included. These pieces in between are taken note of in the translation with the sign "S".

A prudent person who has recognized this (as being injurious) should neither himself act with a tool against the The reason for the link is: the sentence beginning with tattha apparently continues what precedes it. A deviating interpretation in the circle of the text editors about where it belongs has let it find a place already in 1, 20. On p. 46 of my edition this sentence is put in B, which is here ignored because of a certain problem to relate tam to puyana. On the other hand, 2, 16-18 (socca) is to be separated from A, because in A the bhagavam himself speaks.

Following ujju-kade are the words niyaga-padivanne amayam kuvvamane because of the induction (see Schubring's "analysis" p. 58 (237 below for this phenomenon), cf. Suy. II 2.81 (Jacobi 1895, p. 387 (80) is wrong). On the other hand, Ayar. II 2, 3, 1 is apparently a quotation because of viyahiya, which next to evamakkhaino is superfluous. Santisuri on Utt. 1, 7 correctly interprets niyaga as nijaka (cf. Charpentier Utt(aradhyayana-Sutra), p. 276). But, since nijaka-pratipatti strives for liberation, even the other explanation with moksa is finally correct. Thus one no longer has to think of nyaya. (See also Bollee 1977, p. 97 (WB).) 14 See Appendix 4. " After this n'eva follows sayam, an induction on the model of 3, 1 n'eva sayam. (Jacobi 1884, p. 31, note 4, sees this as a'very difficult passage' (WB).) 19 viyaniya is inexact for viyahiyam. 17 Without the addition in round brackets this is to be translated: "look, each respectively is explained so: we may ..."

Thato the strong ones have seen when they had overcome (70) (the controlled ones, always exerting themselves, never imprudent): Whoever is imprudent and adheres to externals, him one calls a punishment (for his fellow creatures); a prudent one who has recognized this (as being injurious, says]: "from now [I shall] not do anymore]?? what I have done previously (out of inattentiveness)."

Whoever does not do this, 22 (has finished (others transmit:) has therewith finished,) he is called a houseless one. (Whoever adheres to external impressions, stands in the whirlpool (of new births); whoever is in the whirlpool, adheres to external impressions: looking upwards, downwards, around him (or] forwards [and] listening, he sees forms, hears sounds; looking for support upwards, downwards, all around [or] forwards, he finds it in forms and sounds.) Should the word diha somehow be related to diva (dipa), or is it corrupted from this? The idea of such a circumstance leads one to separate the sentence from the previous one and to include it in the discussion on fire. Jacobi translates diha-loga as 'long-living bodies (i.e., plants)', following Sil's dirgha-loko vanaspatih (52a8 on sutra 32). But the first explanation of the Curni is vanhii-logo (probably: vanhiya logo), i.e., the world of fire, fire-bodies (29, line 6). According to Turner 1966, entry 6333, diha is derived from div(asa), crossing with ahar, rather than being a phonetic development of -s-. Sanskrit div, dyu can mean 'fire', but for dyu-loka and dyaur-loka, Monier-Williams has only 'heavenly world' (WB).) 20 The reason for the connection: the apparent context. 21 Read: karissami iyani no. 22 See note 20 above.

The translation of the second last (ubbhiya) being is based on the Balavabodha in Gujarati, which perhaps brings into it a modern idea. The interpretation of the old commentaries is not evident. The translation "originating out of shoots of a plant" is possible, but unlikely. (The Curni 36,2 explains ubbhiya as: muttima (khanjarida)di.

As the speaker is a wealthy man the sense may even pertain to bhajja, 'wife, wives' (WB).) 33 See footnote 19 above. ** The text says "short truly" (appam ca khalu), because a new thought is intended there with these words.

In his personal copy Schubring in pencil compares Isibhas. 45, 1; see further his "analysis", p. 18 above. Jacobi 1884, p. 15, however, renders it so: "(Doing so), the life of some mortals (which by destiny would have been long) is shortened" (WB).)

Such a person is liberated from death, he is truly a wise one who has understood danger.

May the brave one, if he has recognized here [and] now the 15 fetter (as being injurious] [and] similarly the inflow, wander in self-control; after an appearance is allowed among human beings here, may he (you), not act against the life of what lives.

This could be achieved with an apostrophe representing the privative a-; however, that may just be a temporary solution (WB). 110 kammesu pavam in the variant mentioned by C would complete the line of the verse after anomadamsi: "not ... abyss; the evil lies in activities."

First, all kinds of people express themselves to those who know, then, again, those who know to all kinds of people; 143 Ever so many wandering brothers and monks express each his own differing opinion: 15 "truly, we have seen, heard, considered, understood," 144 [they say:] "in" [all] directions: upwards, downwards and in our sphere all sides well-scrutinized [and now think]: all lower animals, all plants, all higher beings, all other 20 beings may be beaten, ordered about, strained, controlled [or] killed, and know then, it is not a sin hereby," So speak ignoble ones. But those who are noble have [always] spoken so: "Truly, you have seen, heard, considered, understood evil... have scrutinized 25 evil on all sides, that you so say, so speak, so proclaim, so explain: all lower animals, all plants, all higher beings, all other living beings may be beaten, ordered about, strained, controlled, killed.... So speak ignoble ones. We however say, (88) speak, proclaim, explain the following: no lower animal, no plant, no higher being, no other living being may be beaten, ordered about, strained, controlled, killed.... So speak noble ones." 19,5 With regard to the old agreement we want to ask each and every one: "You opponents, 101 141 The Nagarjuniya have: "he preaches truly the teaching to the souls which have become acquainted with the journey through the forms of existence, have human form, shun a violent act, strive for the joy of the termination of suffering, who aspire to listen to the teaching, have laid down the injurious tool, who want to hear, who inquire further [out of thirst for knowledge and] have obtained the right knowledge." 142 Read together with C: nanagame. 143 Probably another text for this place: "there is no place..." etc.: "Over and over again delusion predominates hereby (some here on earth are familiar everywhere [with all forms of embodiment], they experience effects which one [soul] subjected to re-embodiment must experience them); whoever is made up of evil deeds, changes his life-form; whoever is not made up of evil actions, does not change his life-form."

See Bollee 1977, pp. 139f. For "body", kau (Skt kaya) Schubring, in a note in pencil in his glossary to the text, refers to Isibhasiyaim 9,30 (WB). 211 The expressions from kau onwards refer to the qualifications through language which were still missing. 212 The rendering is quite problematical! It is based on a supposed paritta prarikta, instead of parinne. (In his personal copy Schubring notes in pencil: paritta is also paritta, 'limited', etc. (WB).) Even parinnasanne, "bearing the name 'knowledge"" would be conceivable, but unsatisfactory in the context.

So I say.* (If, now, these young ones are instructed orally day and night' by those brave heroes full of insight, [i.e.,) have already) obtained insight from them, then they (suddenly) forsake peaceableness and employ brusque words, 23) [they] 'who [already) lived in proper disci pline', in that they think the instruction would not be for them.) [2.] (Some, however, after they have heard and understood the preaching, and with the 15 intention to live as associates in monastic life, have moved into homelessness), since they are (now) impecunious, internally burning, eager for desire, slaves of their senses, do not find delight in the earnest attitude which is preached to them) and, in fact, use brusque words against the teacher.

These people are indeed to be called fools; 'again and again they cause rebirth'.

The prudent one should know our doctrine.25 ([But he is] obstinate [and says:] "you are a fool"; he has injurious action in mind in that he says over and over again: "kill (these and those] beings", in that he is an accomplice in killing and in that he approves of it when another kills, (and thereby thinks:]) "a cruel doctrine 31,5 has been introduced [here]!"

II 1, 57 from where this place here in single quotes seems to stem. 30 A restriction! They should turn only towards those who permit success. They are not appointed for the mission proper. As occasional helpers in the teaching post, they are also in need of the reminder that in this activity they, in fervour, do not offend what they preach (32, 5 below). This new thought at the same time leads into the next verse line (32, 8). 3 In his personal copy Schubring refers to Tattvarthadhigama Sutra 9, 6 (WB). >> In 32, 3 is to be read anaivaiyam savvesim po. As soon as a meaning which is more than rhetorical is ascribed to the four words pana, etc., (cp.fn. 25, p. 82 above) then anaivattiyam (see 9, 1, 17) is impossible.

The words kankhejja kalam are presumably a variant for kalovanie. It offered the advantage of supplying the fragment which was split off with a verb. 40 The Nagariuniya have, supposedly instead of the last line:"Truly, if I impiously bring about death sto any water or fire particles), then, with the absence of the knowledge (of harmfulness), (my lot) will be dishonour, wretchedness (read duggai ga') and coming and going (through the existences]."

So I say.* 38,5 A monk who is going without a garment [because his only garment) is bad, has the thought: 'I can bear the effects of (pointed] grass, of cold, of heat, of gadflies and mosquitoes, the effects of the one, as the others, various as they are, but the contact with] the loin cloth I cannot bear.' In this case he may wear a hip-band. As he now here strivingly makes an attempt and is moreover without a garment the effects of (pointed] grass, of cold, of heat, of gadflies and mosquitoes affect him; [but] the effects of the one, as the others, various as they are, he bears without clothes by (so) exercising restriction in the equipment as a monk]. He has completely entered into penance. As this has been proclaimed by the Lord (so] should one understand it and thoroughly, through and through, recognize pious conduct. 13a 160 (A monk who has this idea:)" [5.] 'Truly, with such food, such drink, what is tasty or what is spiced, as much as remains, pure as it has to be, in the same condition in which I (113) have received it, I shall serve it to a (sick or old] fellow monk, in case he wishes it, for the sake of a (good) deed, and I [on my part) shall endure it that fellow monks wait 19a 136 for me with such food, ..., as they receive it, in case they wish it (when I am sick or old)'; [6.] 'I shall let food, drink, sweet or what is spiced, what has been provided for other monks, be given [to me, if I am serving] and [if I am being taken care of] endure such 15 [provided food]'; [or:) ... 'I shall let it ... be given ... [to me...] but not endure such ...'; (or:) ... 'I shall not let it... be given... [to me...) but endure such...'; [or, finally:] 162 'I shall not let ... be given ...

The reason for the connection of this fragment to the remarks on fasting exercises (not the fasting unto death) is the misunderstanding of the word bherava (38, 4) as the frightening death through hunger, suggested in 38, 2: kayam ceccana bheuram, as it is to be read metrically. This beginning appears to have been formed only on the model of the others. One does not expect an idea but an arrangement, as in [3]. The threefold repetition of this beginning is surely erroneous. For the link [7.8] see above 34, 31 ff. Cp. also fn. 68 above. (38, 20-40, 8 also in Schubring 1927, pp. 24. (WB).)

One rich (in spirit), a prudent one,83 if he has recognized all that is incomparable [and] has thought it through logically, he transcends karman. [1.) If he has reduced the passions then he should bear with little food. When the monk gets sick in view of the [scanty] food, then he should not yearn to live, but also not desire to die: to both, life as well as death, he should not be attached. Indifferent, concerned only with the removal of karman, may he maintain the pious attitude; by making himself free (114) internally and externally, may he search (only) for the pure heart. Whatever he recognizes as a means to support his life [still] for a while, 84 this he quickly employs prudently in favour of a period of time. In a village or forest a monk should examine a spot, and when he has found it free of living beings, then he should spread out his slayer of] grass (there). He should lie there without food; if temptations affect him in this regard, then he should bear them; he should not go [among people) before the (fixed) time, even if he is affected by human things. Animals 39,5 79 Wrongly follows: "And this is the truth" until "the frightening (inflictions directly)" (38, 1), and thereafter, again: "There too", etc., until "beneficial" (cp.fn. 75 above), also, as the end of an uddesa: "So I say". 30 A counting of the stanzas will be dispensed with, especially since three lines often belong together. The whole piece is cited as an elucidation of the words kayam ca jogam ca iriyam ca, which explains the omission of all the prose insertions. * vimohaim jaim is masculine accusative plural. (Schubring notes: cf., however, Utt. 5, 26 (WB).) Line 38, 23 is made up of the two odd padas and is therefore to be separated into two lines. The missing even padas have been supplemented. 34 There is indeed no beginning of an arya here (as the edition suggests), but a sloka-pada, in which only vasumanto maimanto needs to be read. See Appendix 4, also for "all" In "all that is incomparable".) ** So that the end does not come before he is really ready for it.

Animals wound his body, but he should not jump up from his place; tormented by influences of many kinds, he [indeed] should endure. [2.) (So) he arrives at the end of his life-time, away from the many fetters. But the following is to be preferred by the competent and informed ones: it is a further practice which the Naya-son has preached. (85) In the twice three cases 86 he should get rid of movement (of the limbs), unless it is for the sake of his life. He should not lie on living plants, carefully he should lay down on a prepared abode, become free (of needs), without food; if temptations affect him in these [last] respects, then he should bear them. If he loses his senses (because of hunger) then he should eat accordingly; indeed, he is without blame who is unaffected [and] completely devoted. He might step forwards [and] backwards, bend [and] stretch himself in order to maintain the body (still] in alliance ( with the soul], or even [for a while lie) there unconscious. He might walk around if he is tired (of laying down), or he might adopt an ascetic) position and keenly adhere to it. If he is finally tired of the ascetic posture87 then he may sit down. If he sits, then he should direct all his senses at the way of dying to which nothing can be compared. If [in grasping for a support) he stumbles upon a piece of wood full of worms, then he should look for one (115) that is not so; he should not support himself on anything out of which something can arise that is to be avoided; he gets up from there (and rather) bears all temptations. [3.] He, however, who performs the following action, exerts himself even more. In complete command of his limbs he should not stir from his 39,30 *See, e.g., Dhaky 1991, pp. 120ff.

Without searching far away the pious one dwells standing, but if he has found a place that is free of living beings, then he should adopt a posture there. He abandons his body completely, thinking: 'I do not have any temptations of the body anymore'. Whereas he [previously) thought one would experience temptations and attacks lifelong, he (now) bears them withdrawn [and] insightfully, [because, after all, they contribute) to the destruction of the body." He should not hang on to the cravings for the transitory, even if they come ever more numerously; he should not cultivate desire and yearning, by aiming at the essence which is constant. [ A god] may offer him (supposedly] 'eternal' things: he should not believe the divine deceit. Recognizing this the pious one should shake off all deception.91) Not deluded by any thing, he reaches the end of his lifetime. If he has recognized only perseverance as the main thing, then (every) such (way to] liberation is proper. So I say.' 40,5 9. The Tradition of Fasting The distinction of the stanzas into better or less metrical properties (p. 61 of my edition) has been omitted because it no longer appears to be important for the origin of the poem. Indented are only those stanzas in another metre, prose portions and, finally, those stanzas which according to their content do not seem to belong to the general context. 1. As I have heard it, I want to narrate (92) how the monk [and] Lord, after he moved out 40,10 wandered with deliberation in the winter immediately after becoming a monk. 2. 'I cer tainly do not want to cover (myself) with this garment in this winter'-[with this (116) rule] he carried on as long as he lived; this was, in fact, in accordance with his doctrine." 3.

A year and a month long [it was] that the Lord did not take off the garment; then [however] he [was] clotheless, a patient sufferer, after he, houseless, discarded the garment. 5. Then, fixing his sight onto a wall the height of a man and extending sidewards [around him], he meditates in deep thought within [it, (94) 20 the wall]; thereafter, shocked by the sight, many [people] screamed: "Look there!" 6. Where the sexes sleep together, there he is not interested in women; [in other words:] he did not care for sexual enjoyment, [and] so he meditates in deep thought after he looked for a resting place. 7. With those who cannot separate themselves from their houses he does not associate anymore and meditates in deep thought; and if they question him then he does not answer, he goes on upright and takes no notice." 8. This is not easy for some [people]: he does not answer those who greet him [in a particular way]: .96 25 [namely] after he has been beaten with sticks, hit badly by the wicked ones. 26 9. Disregarding the abusive language which is difficult to bear, as a wise one [silently] 28 striving forwards, the Naya(-son) looked without concern [at the people] who were occa27 sionally absorbed in conversation; 10. the Naya-son goes to lectures, dance and song, 29 to club and fist fights, these lower entertainments, not [however] in order to attach his mind to them. 11.

Wandering, sitting and lodging which were described (earlier, stanza 6] as alone, ' 'Tell (now) about the resting places and seats'!3 of which the great hero availed him30 self!'14 2. (His) overnight place was sometimes to stay in waiting-huts, ils) in assem bly halls and at wells, 16 in shops, sometimes in workshops (and?] on straw dumps, 3. sometimes in shelters (of a village), also in a summer house in a city, sometimes in the cemetery, in an empty house 117) or at the foot of a tree. 4. in these lodgings the wise one (and) monk stayed more than thirteen years. In exerting himself day and night he exercised intense meditation, undisturbed (and) completely "apadinna, actually "without obligation", is one of those words which cannot be translated in the same way everywhere. The places in the glossary for apadinna (under padinna, better palinna) are incorrect. They should be: 10,21:35, 16 41, 20 27:42,25, etc., 42,4 16:44, 1.3: 17,23 43,11.18 44, 1. In assigning stanzas 20 and 21 to another context one is to proceed from 206. Just as here there are undoubtedly optatives, namely, because *pamajjya is to be read, in a line of a differing, later type, this is the case with 21b. This line would then only be metrically correct if it is carejja instead of care. According to a rule, as 200 and 21 have it, mayanne finally appears in 20a: not the founder but his disciples and followers adhere to the "allowed measure". With this word stanza 20 is connected to samkhadi in stanza 19. 112 There is a sloka until apalinnenam, in which, however, there must have been eso (or esa?). From bhagavaya onwards prose is to be indicated. This word serves as an explanation for mahanena, etc., I now take evam riyante as the beginning of a new sentence:"thus wandering", the rest is missing. Stanza 23 is repeated, certainly mechanically, at the end of each of the four sections of this poem. For the second line here the Ladnun ed. has: apadinnena Virena Kasavena mahesina. On the name Kasava see Mette 1991, p. 133 (WB).) "The single quotes ...'indicate the indravajra metre. (On aikkha tai see Leumann against Jacobi in Balbir 1993, p. 93 (WB). 14 On p. 307a5 (1916 ed.)

In the resting places the assaults were for him horrible and manifold: first, crawling animals and those that came down flying; 8. then bad people, 42, 10 (119) village guards and armed people come there, or assaults on his senses [occurred]: a single woman or [a single] man [came]. 9.

After being accommodated there [where he was] sometimes lonely travellers questioned him in the night; when they did not get an answer they beat [him]: he [however, remained] untouched, observing his devotional posture. 12. [To the question: "Hey,] you there inside! who is there?" he [perhaps] said: "It is 1,12 a monk;" [but later] this was his highest rule: silently he persevered in pensiveness when one beat [him].

It tries to supplement the "contacts" (phasa) in the next stanza. Nevertheless, the rasa are missing, the riva one has to obtain first from the compound (which otherwise refers to something else), and the sadda are indicated quite colourlessly. Even the pathantara to 10a shows that such an enumeration was not intended, in which the phasa are also missing there: "One should endure, always ready,' so thinking the Lord [and] houseless one" .... 120 Read in line 42, 17 antaramsi. 121 So one says in general when the other does not know the name, cp.

(See Appendix 4.) 124 eha as accusative plural is unusual. (Dasav. 3, 4 prohibits monks to make a fire (WB).) 125 Stanza 14 is not original; the continuation from 13 to 15 shows this, as does the metre, a later arya.

The effects of (pointed) grass, of cold, of heat and gadflies and mosquitoes [all these] various attacks he endured, always attentive. 2. (126) When he wandered through desolate Ladha: through Vajjabhumi and Subbhabhumi, he got used to a hard bed and hard seat. 30 3. [There) in Ladha [regions] he had many disturbances: the inhabitants treated him badly, then the alms corresponded to the inhospitable land; the dogs there bit him [and] attacked him. 4. Hardly anyone held back the wild, ferocious dogs, they let them go after him 127 after beating them so that the dogs bit the monk. 5. Such people were indeed very many, Vajjabhumi, (120) [a] crude [country]:128 monks stayed there (only) after they had 43,5 equipped themselves with knotted sticks. 6. Even when they stayed there so [equipped] they had been attacked by dogs and were dragged by dogs - [yes, it was) difficult to wander there in Ladha. 7. [Now] the Lord who 'laid down weapons against beings' and had surrendered to them] his body, bore it [also), thanks to his insight, when he confronted piercing (speech) in the villages; 8. [the Naya-Son) like an elephant (naga) on the frontline so did he penetrate through there, the great hero. 10 So, there in Ladha he once reached no village for a long time; 9. as he, then, without wanting anything, went towards (such a village) and had not yet (at all) reached the edge of the village, they came out towards him and did him wrong by calling out [at the same time):"Go away from here!" 10. He was beaten immediately with a stick, with the fist, the hand, or (pelted) with a lump of earth or a potsherd; "beat him to death, beat him to 15 death"129 screamed many. 11. First one cut his beard with a blunt knife, (then) ill-treated [him] partly on the body!30 or hurled earth at him, one lifted him high up and thrust Chim] down (again), or took him away from his seat--[but) surrendering the body, patient in suffering, undemanding, the Lord was completely devoted. 13. Like a brave 20 fighter on the frontline, (131) so was the great hero unapproachable at that time; confronting crudeness the Lord continued with his mode of life unperturbed. 126 For the names appearing in this section see Jacobi 1884, p. 84 (WB). 127 Literally: "they let them make chuck-chuck." (See Appendix 4 for sight of monk being inauspicious.) 128 Vajjabhumim instead of bhumi which occurs in the verse instead of bhumi; insert comma after bahave. 129 hanta hanta, literally: "a murderer!", (cp. 34, 25) or "look here!" 10 parissahaim has been left out; I presume a corruption here.

Pur25 gatives and emetics, ointment for the joints, bathing, and cleaning the teeth are for him not proper after he recognized [them once as being useless]. 3. Since he cast aside the game of the senses, the pious one wanders without saying much. In the cold period the Lord sometimes practised intense meditation in the shade; 4. when the heat of the summer time burnt down then he remained in the squatting position!" He prolonged [his life] 30 further with rice, jujube berries and beans, all without spices. 5. These three [foods] the Lord let it be offered to him and prolonged [thereby his life with them] for eight months. The Lord drank [only] every half or (121) full month; 6. also [only after] over two months or even sometimes six months did he drink. 134 Sometimes, unstirred, he took food gone bad,(135) which was presented or left over to him. 1367. Sometimes he had [only every] sixth [meal], or the eighth, the tenth; sometimes he had [in fact, only] the twelfth, while he, unstirred, observed the pious attitude. 8. On account of his insight the great 44,5 hero neither did injustice himself, nor let it be done by others, nor approved of it when another did it. 9. When he [then] came to a village or city he looks [looked] for food that was prepared for another, and when he found a pure offering then the Lord consumed it with thoughtful scruple. 10. [As for] hungry crows [and] other beings which desired what is tasty [which were there], when he saw [them] engaged in looking for food and lined 10 up, 137 11. or when he [saw] a brahmin or other monk, a village pauper or a guest [of 137 132 These words do not belong here because they do not fit in; they have the ending o instead of the otherwise usual e and the line finally indicates the subject se twice.

I conjecture rata and uparata, although the latter does not seem to appear in Sanskrit.

These words have been included in the text here at the end of the respective stanzas in the form (read: ...).) 1.

If one is in possession of what is living or not living and be this (even just] negligible, or one approves of it for another," then one will not be freed of suffering.3.

The text has tti, and thus', after bujjhejja, which was not translated by Jacobi and apparently even deleted by Schubring, see Bollee 1977, p. 53 (WB). It is obvious to regard this pada as a disturbing interpolation (cp. also 6d), yet it may just also be a case of grammatical freedom. Since he is aware of it, Sil. gives anujanai as anujndya, in which the reading anujanaya, appearing in a Berlin manuscript, may have convinced him, which, though stands only for anujanai. The absolutive has to be anunnaya (degnnae) or anujanitta. (As a consequence of sloka versification individual padas often do not fit precisely, especially when, as here, we have to do with a kind of cliche (WB).)

[b.] [Though) some wandering brothers and brahmins have disregarded these fetters, [yet] they do not know, (although] they pretend to know.' [Besides, about some people one can say further:) 'the people are entangled in desire'. [One hears (this):] 7.[1.] "There are five elements that are mentioned by some here in the world: earth, water, fire, wind and, as the fifth, air is added. 8. These [are) the five elements. Out of them [originates) the one (spirit]," so they say." Further: "Through their disappearance, the soul disappears. 9. And just as in a heap of earth the one (substance) in fact appears (to be) manifold, so, mark this, in the whole world the spirit in fact appears (to be) manifold."!2 10. So some say (who are) of dull intellect, devoted to finjurious) activity. [And thereby] one is indeed,] when one (hereby) has oneself done injustice, [himself] participating in bitter suffering (for it) (read: nigacchai).' 11. [2.] "Fools and wise ones are each one full soul each (not more and not less]. They are, [but] after death they are not [anymore). There are no beings which would experience reembodiment.'12. There is no merit or offence, there is no world beyond this. Through the disappearance of the body the soul disappears." 13. [3.] "There is not anything that acted nor caused to act, not anything at all that acts. Hence, the soul (too) is not acting." So they assert boldly. 14. But those who speak so, how according to their opinion does the world come about? From one darkness they go further into Instead of viussitta (for which also viussiya = vyucchritah) perhaps viussanta (= *vidvasyamanah, cp. viussanti in 1, 2, 23) is to be read. A quotation, as indeed the change of subject shows; cp. Ayar. I 27,29 (1, 6, 1, 4). The hint already points at 1, 3, 10ff. (See the addition to this footnote in Appendix 4.) Or: "These (te), know this (bho), are called the one". Bb and C have te bho as a second explanation; ahiya which otherwise means ahitah in the sense of akhyatah, here with sil. means akhyatavantah (formally, it means rather ahitavantah). (Ahiya may correspond to Skt. ahrtah (Bhatt 1978, p. 104), but cf. Norman 1996, p. 180f.: it is "from the root akhya-." Sil.'s commentary is discussed by Jayatilleke 1963, p. 74 (WB).) 12 sil. read (as also a Berlin MS): ... loe ege nana hi vattai, from which it follows that vinnu in stanza 9 really is ega in stanza 8. (This may be the implicit reason why Schubring takes stanzas 7-10 as belonging to one doctrine, against the tradition. Data about the old schools is very scanty and Sil.'s comment requires caution. See also Glasenapp 1940, p. 147; Bollee 1977, pp. 62f.; and Norman 1996, p. 173 (WB).) The spirit then, which would apparently be common to all, is indeed individual (cp. Jacobi 1895, p. 237) -thus the view and rejection of the ek'atma-(atmadvaita-)vadin. i.e. Vedanta. See Bollee 1977, p. 63 (WB).) 14 Or: there is "no being" (satta). The restricted sense in which Windisch 1908, pp. 190f. interprets the Pali word opapatika ("criginating immediately") in the Mahali and Payasi Suttas is not justified. 15 Thus the tajjivatassa(taccha)rira-vadin. (Prince Paesi was probably one of these, see Bollee 2002, $ 750 et passim and 1977, p. 64.

[5.] Some mention five elements of being, fools, who assert a chain of moments.(20) They say: "[The spiritual consciousness in every embodiment is) something else, [it is) not for instance not anything else (than in the previous existence]," and they call] resting on a cause what [indeed] does not rest on a cause.21 18.

Or this is meant (which Alsdorf considered improbable (WB): the line of their existence does not have an end at the beginning and none at the end. According to Sil. duhao would mean: with a cause and without a cause, or: sentient and insentient. For the statements of (4.) compare also II 1, 22 where only the short sentence with duhao is missing. (See further Bollee 1977, pp. 71f. (WB)). 19 Thus the ayachatha-phala-(atmasastha-) vadin. Read: -!th'aphala. (For a discussion on this see Bollee 1977, pp. 70ff, and also Alsdorf 1959, pp. 11 ff. (WB). 20 On the chain of moments see Rospatt 1995 (WB). 21 Thus the aphalavadin. Here the Buddhist doctrine of skandha and of the renewal of vinnana appear, which in Majjh. I 256, 16 is called ananna. 22 These so-called janaya for Sil, are also Buddhists. Since, however, the doctrine of the four elements contradicts that of the Buddhists, while on the other hand being identical with that of the Jainas, so it seems that the Nigganthas are probably meant here. I would like to follow the hint given by Harsakula in the explanatory words: panditam manya bauddhah and take janaya as *inanaka. The counterpart occurs in the indubitable meaning ajanaya in 3, 1, 11.-The other reading for janaya is avare, "others". (Bollee 1977, p. 75 proposes janaya with aphaeresis (WB).) 23 Perhaps not in all stanzas 21-25 are there, as usual, other traditions which are simply enumerated, but I do not regard the series as original.

By some again it is proclaimed: [6.] "The individual souls,25 when they are reembodied, experience joy [and] sorrow [either in the same form of being as before], or they disappear from their position [in the realm of beings]. 2.

Joy or sorrow, whether leading to perfection or not 2-3b. thus some consider it as befalling them inevitably. 3a. "The individual souls experience what is self-effected, not [what is effected] by others": 4. those who speak in this way are fools who regard themselves (as being) wise 'who [themselves] determined by necessity, do not know the determined-through-necessity [and] are without insight.29 5. Thus, some stand aside, they give themselves indeed airs; if they have become monks with this outlook then they do not facilitate a liberation from suffering." 6. They are (like) the quick, wild animal which is without protection: it is afraid of the harmless [and is] unsuspectingly in danger. 7.

Jacobi uses 'and', and Schubring's 'or' requires an uncertain completion. Bollee 1977, p. 80 adds '(then)' before 'however'. See also ibid. p. 97.

(This is improbable in view of Ayar. 2, 2, 2, 13: dupakkham te kamma sevanti 'If the reverend persons frequent such-like lodgings.. and lead... and ambiguous life', Jacobi 1884, p. 128 (WB).) See the addition in Appendix 4. 53 This stanza 31 also appears in Isibhasiyaim 28, 20 and Suy. 1, 11, 30 (WB). 54 For the metre in this stanza see Norman 1996, p. 175 (WB). 55 vesaliya is also supposed to mean "belonging to the sea (visala)" or "large" (visala). It would be the name of a species (this, too, C and Sil. allow); perhaps it is related to the city Vesali. C also gives the reading vetaliya for vaitali, "bank". (Norman 1996, p. 182 points to Skt. visara and visarin, 'fish' (WB).) 56 (Schubring puts stanza 1 after I 1, 2, 29 above (WB).) 2b probably comes before 2a. 57 C explains ghantam as: ghana-ghatena antam karotiti ghantah... maccu.

"Death" and "deceit" as creators of transience. With regard to this C narrates how according to that belief the earth created by Visnu became over-crowded because of the absence of old age and death and turned to Prajapati. He (Prajapati) created Mrtyu and human beings, pious by nature, who then came to the gods. So, heaven too became full and requested Prajapati for a remedy. Then Maya united with Mara (tatas tena Marena samstuta Maya ... samstavo nama samgatyam), and the human beings deluded by her (Maya) sank into the lower regions. To this the following stanza is cited: ativaddhiya-jiva nam Mahi pannavate Pabhum; tato sa Maya-samjutte kare logass' abhiddava. (The MS has ativittiya and vannavate.)

If a monk has recognized this [as being injurious)," then he, a knower, should not find delusion in them [any more]. Without arrogance, [but also] without imposing himself, a monk should pass [his life time] in the midst (of them) (read: vijjam). 3. In the enjoyment of possessions and in the exercise of violent deeds some here in the world put forward [their assertions]" without possession and without [practising] violent deeds the monk should protect himself" [from new-embodiment] (read: apariggahe anarambhe). 4.

The Kibbisiya are at the lowest rung of the real gods. 73 Another version: "do not offer any refuge, mark this (= bho), when a fool loses courage." 74 A note in the margin of his copy of the 1879 Bombay ed. shows that Schubring first translated this as 'though' (WB). 75 In a free rendering parijanai means "renounce." 76 In C anukkaso is a path. for anu-kkasao, "of very minimal passion." 77 See Appendix 4. 78 There remains nothing else but to relate sa-pariggaha ya s'arambha to egesim. The nominative instead of the genitive would appear to be out of metrical freedom. Thereby it is presupposed that the pada: iha-megesim-ahiyam here is quite original and not only a patchwork. 79 Instead of tanam C read nani.

When one [in fact] has passed away then waking up is truly difficult. The days (that are gone) will not come back again, one does. not easily obtain again [a] life [as a human]. 2. See, young and old people, yes even unborn ones, pass away. Just as the hawk seizes [and tears up] the partridge, so too one is destroyed when life comes to an end. (2) 3. By [staying with one's] father and mother one is lost, and when one has passed away, then one does not easily find a good form of existence. In view of these difficulties a faithful one should stop [an injurious] deed. 4. Namely, when the individual beings in the world perish through [injurious] action then they sink down on account of what they themselves [previously] did; they do not become free from it without having felt [its effect themselves]. 5. Gods, gandharva, raksasa, asura [princes], those who reside in the earth, snake [princes],' princes, officials, salesmen, brahmins: they themselves pass away in suffering." 6.In the course of time [all] human beings have to suffer what they have caused for themselves through [their own] desires and under foreign influence." Like a palm nut that falls from the stem, so one perishes when life comes to an end. 7. Even if one is highly educated [or] pious, a brahmin [or] a monk, he, deluded by the things that have caused' [him] deceit all around, will Out of the fact that this poem is called vaitaliya according to its metre, one might have to assume its temporal or geographical unusualness. Whoever attaches importance to the pun on the name in the tradition, vaidarika "destructive", may understand the German title "Neue Weise [die Tatwirkung aufzuheben]": "A New Way [to neutralize the effect of a deed].' 2 See Appendix 4. Evidently sirisiva represents the nagakumara because here otherwise only humans or beings similar to humans are mentioned. The word bhumi-cara can also be applied to them. (Bollee 1988, p. 31 does not accept Schubring's view of sirisiva. In the list here mahoraga is missing (WB).) 4 In raya nara-setthi-mahana, nara may stand for *raya-nara = raya-purisa. Sil., however, has: narah samanya-manusyah; but here we need those in a high position. 5 See Herman 1986, p. 67 and Gopalan 1986, p. 138. For the suffering of gods before reincarnation see Bollee 2002, p. 175 (WB). "To be construed: kamehi ya samthavehi ya [jam kayam] kamma[m tam-]saha.

[Through such a preacher] you will get to know what is lower, but how the highest? [But that person] in the air region [i.e., when he is re-embodied as a god] will be tormented by the effect of [these] his deeds.(10) 9. And if [on the other hand,] one [through the power of special vows] naked and weak [through penance] also leads his monastic life, and if one also takes food [only once] in a month: whoever hereby turns out (to be one) practising deceit, he will endlessly often end up in [a new] birth. 10.

The people here in the world who stick to the depths, deluded by [their] desires [and therefore] unrestrained, end up in [permanent] delusion." 11.

One should take to the path according to the instruction which the heroes have excellently proclaimed." 12. When they set out the heroes had renounced, they destroyed passion, fear and other [faults]; under no circumstance do they kill beings, they renounced evil and are desireless. 13. "Not I alone [have to] perish, [but all] beings in the world [have to] perish": with this thought the prudent one indeed, ready [and] peaceful, if he is stirred [by temptations], should bear [them]. 14. [Like] a wall that has a coat [of cow dung] which one bumps on to, [becomes thin by its falling off because it has become dry,] he should make [his] body here in the world thin through fasting.

Whether you have seen what is being proclaimed, or not: trust, you who does not see and still believes!" Woe to the one whose view is hindered by "deluding" acts which he committed! 12.

This is kama. 65 C has: kanhui ti kvacit; Sil.: kanhai kutracit. (The 1916 ed. has kanhui; the tika: kutascin nimittat (WB).) 66 The path. in C is probably dubbalam instead of jiviyam: "life here in the world is uncertain". 67 By way of conjecture.

(See Appendix 4 for "violent act" and the reading.) adakkhu-damsana can also be understood as an ablative: "from (the standpoint of) faith, he does not see". But suniruddha-damsana, which follows it, determines the above understanding.

He [one] regards himself [oneself] as a hero as long as he does not see him whom he wants to defeat, like Sisupala [did before he had seen] the fighter, the pious one," great warrior [Krsna]. 2. The heroes stride first in the front lines [but] when the fight flares up, [where] a mother does not recognize [her son]," he [such a one] will be wounded by him whom he wanted to conquer. 3. So, too, a student who is not [yet] affected [by difficulties], who has not [yet] become acquainted with the rounds for alms, regards himself as a hero as long as he does not know the rigours [of monastic life] (read: mannai). 4. When [however,] in winter the penetrating cold' touches him then all these here, the indolent ones, become despondent, like warriors who have lost their empire. 5. Touched by the summer heat, dejected [and] thirsty," all these indolent ones will be despondent, like fish in little water (read: va). 6. The constant asking for voluntary donation is unpleasant, [but] the request is difficult (6) to refuse; "[these monks are] tormented by the effect of their deeds [and are] unhappy": so the people say, sometimes here, sometimes there. 7. Since they cannot bear these words [which are used] in a village or city, then these indolent ones there will become despondent, like cowards in a battle. 8. It also happens' that [people] have a hungry monk bitten by furious dogs; then the indolent ones will be despondent, like beings who come in touch with fire. 9. See Appendix 4 for dadha-dhammannam, "pious ones". Schubring's brackets must be an error here (WB). 3 Another variant: "cold with wind". 4 Singulars in the original. Cf.

It also happens that [the people] say words [like:] "You nude ones", () "shabby, poor villagers", "bald-headed", "scratchers", "sweaty", "disorderly chaps". 11. Some who are like this proceed from one darkness to another over-shadowed by delusion, because on their own they are ignorant."2 12.

There are [people] in the neighbouring countries" who, because their being is falsely set on an attitude that [finally] produces punishment for themselves alone, play dirty tricks on [monks]: 15. it happens [namely,] that people, thinking that those persons, according to their trade, are spies or thieves, bind a pious monk, the fools; and [16: all this] with passionate speech, 16. [as it were] covered," with a stick, fist or the [palm of the] hand, a foolish [monk] 160 See Appendix 4. 9 Curiously enough padiyara praticara is to be given the meaning "fine clothes, toiletry" which Boehtlingk falsely ascribes to anga-vyapara, which explains the word, in Sil. to Ayar. I 39, 16 (Acar. 1, 8, 1, 12). In the present case Sil. gives the word as meaning pratikara, "retribution (of previous deeds)". But the thought indicated hereby was already expressed in stanza 6. On the other hand, the following stanza fits in excellently with the abandoned, conspicuous dress. (Jacobi and Bollee take padiyara to mean 'atonement, punishment' (WB).) 10 As opposed to the MSS evam-jivino is to be read. The tika also indicates this. 11 This must pertain to the Jinakappiyas. As for "bald headed", removal of the hair on the head is also a punishment, e.g., of Yavanas and Kambojas (Mahabharata, VII 95, 20 and 40), hence the association (WB). Cp. 1, 1, 18. 12 13 sodhum asaknuvan, i.e., acaiya is to be read (atyaginah). 14 This means: "I'll die before the hair which (in the meantime has grown again a bit, as usual) will be plucked out again". Sil. is quite different: loya = loka, instead of loca. However, stanza 13 speaks for the latter. (See Appendix 4.) 15 keyana is actually a "sieve" (calani, Ayara-cunni on 14, 29 = 1, 3, 2, 2). (See Appendix 4, also for "hair plucking" in the sentence.) 16 Read: kei lusant' anariya. We need this return to the basic meaning of an-arya because ill-disposed ones are already presented in stanza 8 and the misunderstanding described in what follows is possible only beyond the usual wandering region. Hence, the interpretation of the stanzas given here is restored favourably, which indeed (cp. Jacobi) fits in with paliyam tesim, completely misunderstood by Sil., in stanza 15. For paliya, see Aydr., glossary (paliya is the profession practised earlier as a layman (WB)). (See Appendix 4; for "punishment for themselves alone" in the sentence here see Appendix 4, addition to fn. 79, p. 156.) 17 Mahavira was treated this way in the hostile neighbouring country, cp. Ayar. I 43, 13 (1,9, 3, 10). Which of the two is older is uncertain. (For "the [palm of the] hand" in the sentence see Appendix 4.)

"Maintain your father and mother, so (that) the world will continue to exist":21 "this, dear, is a general custom that one protects22 his mother". 5.

"Dear, come, we want to go home and the work (which you do not like) should not have its (disturbing] quality [for you];23 we'll see once again, dear, let us (just) first go home". 7. "If you come along (now), dear, then you can go away again (later), thereby you will not stop being a monk.

These [are the fetters of human beings; one gets over them with as much difficulty as over the underworld [volcanoes in the sea),27 and the cowards suffer pain under them,28 deluded by the bonds of kinship. 13. And when a monk has recognized this: 'all fetters provide (for an effective deed,] a vast influence', then he should not yearn for life [any longer), after he has heard the highest precept. 14. The following now are the turmoils of which Kasyapa has spoken, (those) from which the awakened ones withdraw, in which showever) the unwise ones get stuck. 15. Princes and ministers, brahmins or nobles, they offer a monk who lives piously pleasures: 16. "Elephants, horses,29 chariots (and) ships, enjoy these wonderful pleasures; wise man, we revere you! 17. Clothes, perfumes, women, (soft] beds, enjoy these wonderful pleasures, venerable one, we revere you! 18.

Further, some, who stand aside, who are good for nothing, fools, who are slaves of women, averse to the bidding of the Jina, let (you) hear the following: 10.-12. "Like a swelling or a boil is bothersome for a while(s) [without being dangerous], like a ram," [or] like the bird Pinga drinks from water [that thereby remains] still, so [it is] with understanding women; how can there be sin in that?" 13. So then [there are] some who stand aside, who hang on to a wrong doctrine and good for nothing, taken away by desire like a nightmare" at the [sight] of a young person. 14. Since they cannot see the future, [but] search for the present, so they feel pain later, when in [their] lifetime youth has departed. 15. Those [however,] who were brave at the right time do not feel pain afterwards; they are wise ones, freed of fetters, they do not desire life (read: parakkantam). 16. Like the [underworld] river Vaitarani is regarded here in the world as difficult to overcome, so too in the world [are] the women difficult to overcome by the unwise ones. 17. Those [however,] who have left behind the contact with women [and] demonstration of respect [to them], they remain, after restraining all such things, completely devoted." 18. These will cross over the stream [of the sea of existences] like [travelling] businessmen the ocean, [the stream] in which the beings are hopelessly involved in [till now]," tormented by [the consequences of] self-effected deed. 57 An allusion to a parable related in Rayapasenaijja 72, reported by Leumann 1885b, pp. 522f.

It is not a question of being bothersome but rather about a relief from sexual urge in the monk's case. In Anguttaranikaya IV 289, 21f.

They sit quite near next to [him), they put on festive clothing over and over again, they let (their) body be seen below, (and) when they lift up their arms [the clothing) is drawn to the shoulder. 4. With good resting places (or) seats women invite (one) here and there; he should know these different kinds of snares. 5. He should not cast a glance at them nor allow [himself] importunity, nor even wander together (with them), in this way his self is well kept. 6. In addressing the monk [and] making him proud they, on their own, invite [him]; he should know these different verbal advances. 7. With all sorts of fetters for the heart, by approaching piteously-politely, they say lovely (words], make him inclined through casual remarks. 8. Just as one, by means of carrion, [fetters] a single, fearless lion (finally) with a rope, so the women fetter a single, controlled houseless one. 9. Thereafter they bend [him] down there deeper and deeper, like a wheel-wright gradually (rounds) the rim of a wheel. Even if he struggles like a wild animal fettered by the snare, still afterwards he will not be free (again). 10. Then he regrets it later, as though he enjoyed milk rice which was mixed with poison.

Also with daughters or daughters-in-law [of the house]," nurses or servants, elders and young ones, he, the houseless one, should not become acquainted. 14. It happens that [monastic] people, when occasionally they have observed [how] displeasure [befell those] of the relatives or friends, [are] yearning in desire [because they say to themselves:] You are the man to protect [them and] help them!

And at such an opportunity then, when they see the wandering monk in fervour,(15) some [men] end up in anger, or suspect unfaithfulness with regard to the women as a consequence of handing over food: 16. "They [indeed only] become acquainted with them, far removed from [their] devotional exercises; that is why the wandering monks do not come here for lodging together [apparently] for the sake of the liberation of their souls!" 17.

The following (are) four platforms on which the opponents, each one of them, stand:' [a.) the (doctrine of the) deed, [b.) the denial of the deed, (c.) thirdly, the pious life-style [d.] [and] fourthly, what they call agnosticism [as such). 2. [d.] Those then, who thus teach agnosticism, although they are indeed right here, do not go beyond the doubt (about their own existence], because they do not know themselves. [Themselves) ignorant they speak among ignoramuses, and without thinking it through they utter the false, 3a. in taking the true for untrue [and] calling the bad good. 36. [c.] Those people [however] who, further, as the many defenders of the pious lifestyle, when they are even just touched [by what is not good), have indeed trained (their) being into (one of) a pious kind, 4a these say: "[you should] not [be] neo-Samkhyaites";" so this question (of the world-view] speaks to us." 4b. [b.] And those according to whom a fleeing away of the particles takes place before those whose turn has not yet come, the deed-deniers, do not recognize any deed. 5. And when (such a one in an oral (conflict of opinion) is committed to a condition (of all things in which To conclude from ahamsu, the poet understands samosarana as "sermon". In Jaina art it is the divinely prepared abode where the kevalin teaches; for Sil. the assembly of the faithful on such an occasion (melapaka). To cover all the three terms the parliamentary expression "platform" may be allowed. (See Appendix 4 for the views in b, c, d and the "assembly" here.) ? Jayatilleke 1963, pp. 110 ff. ($$ 147ff.) calls the annaniyas sceptics and discusses Sil.'s scholion (WB). Jacobi 1895, p. 316 translates: 'the various upholders of Vinaya, asked about it, explain their tenet'. One should probably follow the scholiasts in assuming, because of vi, an aphaeresis of an alpha privans in 'putha and translate: 'even without being asked' (WB). anovasamkha is to be traced back to an-aupasamkhyah and not, as with Sil. to anupasamkhya, and also not, as with Jacobi, made to mean anupasamkhyaya. "Neo-Samkhyaites" is formed according to our word "Neo-Buddhists", designating followers of the philosophical theory, as opposed to those of the pious praxis, as whom the Vainayika want to be looked upon. (See Appendix 4 for Jacobi and "speak to us".) This is an attempt to translate lavavasakki (so C for osamki) ya anagaehim =lavapasarpinas canagatebhyah. Cand Sil. want to make apasankate the same as apasarati. The Bauddhas are meant with their view of the uninterrupted change in the nature of all things. (See Appendix 4 for lavo and Jacobi here.)

So do these, the deed-deniers, since they do not attain knowledge, proclaim various (mutually excluding views) and many people who have accepted them err in the endless sea of existence. 7.

The raksasas and dwellers of the Yamaworld, asuras [and] gandharvas and the elementary particles (namely, the last), whether they move through the air or stick to their respective abodes," hasten towards ruin ever anew. 14. This translation too of sammissa-bhavam ca gira gahie (v. I. gihie; grhite) is only an attempt. The line, according to this, goes back to the view just mentioned. (See Appendix 4, also for "stuttering".) Stanza 5 apparently goes back to a certain procedure. Unfortunately we do not know anything more about it.-5b shows that as "deed-deniers" (akriyavadin) not only the Bauddhas are meant--who indeed, though, naturally accept the effect of karman-but all philosophers generally who appeared to endanger morals (cp. Schrader 1902, p. 12), in this case the Ajivika. (See Appendix 4 for the long addition to this stanza 5.) * An ironical question. (See Appendix 4 for the theory represented here.) 9 "Well-known" = eyam. According to Sil. astanga Enimitta, of which he mentions seven, not eight branches (bhauma, utpata, svapna, antariksa, anga, svara, laksana, vyanjana) which partly cover the previous ones. (See Horsch 1966, p. 67 (WB) and Appendix 4 for "calendar" in this stanza.) 10 Another variant:"they say indolently: we know the world" (janamu logam ti). (Apparently not science as such is meant here but prophecy (WB).) "Another variant to taha taha: tahagaya. (See Appendix 4 for Jacobi on this and the end of the stanza.) See Appendix 4 for Jacobi's rendering of this stanza 12. 15 The actual gods of the upper world are missing in this list; so, deviating from the later understanding, they have to be referred to as gandharvas. (See Appendix 4, also for Jacobi's translation of this stanza 13.)

The fools do not annul an effective deed through an effective deed; by avoiding an effective deed the wise annul an effective deed; wise men, (being) beyond (all) desire, [and] content, henceforth do not do injustice anymore. 16. Those who have proceeded to perfection know the past, present and future of the world; (they are) leaders of the others, themselves not requiring the leadership of others; truly awakened they put an end [to their being]." 17. They do not perform a deed, nor have a deed done, because they abhor the fear of the animals [brought about thereby].'

(22) 20. He who knows himself and the world, and he who knows the going [(away)-from-the-world) and the non-returning, he who knows the eternal and the transitory, the being born, dying and the new embodiment of creatures, 21. also the torment of beings in the depths, who knows the "influx"(23) and the defence, who knows suffering and the annulment [of the effects), he may preach the approval of activity. 22. Not attached to sounds imam bhava-gahanam, jam ahu..., dummokkham janahi. 15 According to Sil. duhao vi means: 1. in the air or on earth (cp. 13b; pudho is wrongly understood as prthivi), 2. as independently mobile or not, 3. as a man or a woman. (See Appendix 4 for Jacobi's tr.) 10 Another variant (not in C): "beyond desire and fear". (See Appendix 4.) " takes bhavanti as bhavante. (Cf. 1, 15, 1 (WB).) ** For this cp. Ayar. I 5, 20: pahu ya ejassa dugumchanae. (See Appendix 4 for Jacobi's tr.) "The "humility" (vippanavanti) lies in the fact that one equates oneself with all the beings in the world. In the commentaries vinnatti-vira is indicated as a pah., but the main reading vidittu (C and Sil. have vijnaya) is to be preferred. One does not find vinnatti-dhira in the commentators. 20 Cp. Ayar. I 15, 19. - buddhe 'pamatte su-parivvaejja, a possibility mentioned in C.

(45) The comprehensive tradition which has come down to the present time in the layers of the Niryukti, Curni, Tika and Dipika attempts to present an understanding of the Acaranga and it reproduces the intentions of the text as we have it today by and large correctly. For, in the first Srutaskandha, with which the following is solely concerned, what provokes the surprise of the reader (is that): the creation of an uninterrupted continuity of verse, fragments of verse, right up to prose and from it the resultant logical and linguistic somersaults, is not its (the tradition's) doing, but already goes back to the redactor of the text. An original accomplishment is evident in the explanation of individual words, where the scholasticism common to the commentators often obscures the simple sense of the old words and has lead sometimes to a re-interpretation, sometimes to a misunderstanding. This traditional interpretation, certainly to be respected for its value over the many centuries, is reflected in Professor Jacobi's translation of the entire Acaranga in volume XXII of the Sacred Books of the East (1884) in which he, apart from the Niryukti which hardly deals with the (original) wording of the text, and the Curni, agrees with the interpretation of the sika and its excerpt, the Dipika; he thereby, however, brings to light many metrical parts, much more than in his 1882 editio princeps. In the same way, Bose where he deals with Jainism in his Hindu Philosophy (Calcutta, 1887), and Pulle in Catalogo dei Manoscritti giainici della Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze (Florence, 1894) stand on the basis of tradition, the former closely following Jacobi. Even Devraj 1902, to conclude from the notes which he takes from the Tika, is completely dependent on it, at least in the explanation of words; and his arrangement of the text in 522 short paragraphs is only apparently a progress in free judgement. The textual-historical examination, which I attempt in the following for the first time, produces quite a different picture, in front of which the difficulties which were felt by editors and translators till now obviously disappear. (46) The examination begins appropriately with the distinction between metrical and prose parts. The metrics of the Bambhaceraim-so the traditional title of the first Srutaskandhacontains tristubh, jagati, sloka, arya, and quite sporadically also vaitaliya (24, 29) and aupacchandasaka (29, 1) The distribution of the verses in between the prose is not uniform. Sometimes both are in constant alternation, sometimes there is an undisturbed series of stanzas, sometimes there are long periods without any trace of verse at all. Two kinds of style, now, should be distinguished: first, the prose style, unmixed prose discourses in broad detail, largely in an organized construction of complete sentences. On the other hand, the frequent Page #249 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 1 incompleteness or the lack of careful syntactical finish and, in general, the extremely curt way of speaking is characteristic of the prose in the second form of expression interspersed with metre, which is why it will be called the verse style. This picture of the text which in frequency dominates the prose, is characteristic for the whole of the Bambhaceraim and so made Weber (1883, p. 253), in actuality before Jacobi's edition, to erroneously suppose an artificial language in the manner of the brahmanical sutra technique, designated by Barth (Revue de l'Histoire des Religions XIX [1889] p. 282) as: ("lambeaux de sentences energiques, tout impregnes de ferveur" ('scraps of energetic sentences completely pregnant with fervour")). In the further analysis of the verse style I combine the metres which are related rhythmically and, where they appear in the prose around them, I call the tristubh-style those portions with tristubh and jagati lines, and sloka-style those with sloka-lines, sometimes beginning with an ara. It should be shown now... see pp. 17-21 above (Schubring pp. 46-51). 230 (51) After each of the extant chapters have thus been divided each into its own group of ideas, excepting the Uvahana-suya which as a different kind of annex is left out for the moment, places which have the same manner of expression within the same style can be combined, even beyond the limits of the (individual) chapters. In the prose style I believe myself to be right in supposing IA, 4A, 5A and 8BE as originating from the same source. Common to these fragments in their summary here and in the following cases one should not expect whole complexes is a discussion of dogmas and their opposition in favour of the doctrine of reembodiment and the highest precept resulting out of it to protect the life of other beings. In the form of expression one compares 1A: iha-m- (evam) egesim (no) sanna (nayam) bhavai with 8B: iha-m-egesim ayara-goyare no sunisante bhavai and evam tesim no su-y-akkhae no supannatte dhamme bhavai; 4A: aikkhamo, pucchissamo, sahissamo with 8E: lajjamo; 1A: eyavanti savvavanti logamsi with 4A SA: avanti key' avanti logamsi; 1A and 8E: tam parinnaya mehavi n'eva sayam etc. Such a stylistic relationship, on the other hand, cannot be discovered in the groups 1B, 2B, and 8A which have as their subject a display of honour and rendering of service. Rather, the latter two display a completely different diction and 1B, apparently on the acceptance of such demonstration, in its brevity does not allow any conclusions. But that 6D goes together with 8G is obvious. 8H for its part stands isolated. If the broader surface of the prose style lets the manner of expression appear more definite, and thereby facilitates the relation between the groups, then in the verse style it is practically only the content which is relevant. In the sloka style the content of the following Page #250 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Walther Schubring's Analysis of his 1910 Acaranga-Sutra (Ayar'anga-suttam) edition 231 is related: 1C, 3B, 6B: I = world, i.e., protection of beings (52); 1D, 2D, 6C: loyalty and relapse, what does relapse consist of? why does it happen?; 3C, 4B: equanimity in physical and mental temptations. In the first case the assertion of an old connection is not demonstrable, but more so in the last. Here one sees the immediate link through eyam and, in comparison to the other pieces, the recurrent form of address; an indirect proof is that the previous gabbh'ai in 23, 13, in recalling 17, 10, gives rise to line 17, 24, a feature that will be referred to below. What cannot be connected is 2C which is itself split through the dissimilarity in naming the organs; 5B makes up a rounded whole which does not appear to require any extension, but still 8C would be connected here. Although three age groups are mentioned there, only the latter two are described; I find the first in 5B where the comments seem to be about the younger monk (21, 6 23, 2, perhaps also 24, 2). Further, 22, 26 is parallel to 35, 6. The language of 5B evinces various peculiarities: hoi and hou next to bhavai (which in 29, 12 = 21, 16 is replaced by hoi), etc.; kaya instead of kala, viyakkhaya and vikkhaya next to viyahiya; conspicuous is the use of magga in 22, 9 and of guna in 24, 14. Also the influence of a vaitaliya section in 24, 28f. deserves to be mentioned. Of the places in the tristubh style, finally, IE, 2A, 3A, 4C and 8D deal with the content of the doctrine and, moreover, without a planned construction; 3A is connected to 2A as a direct continuation because the dukkha in 13, 9 is nothing else but the harm producing chana in 12, 30. 3A to16, 4f. and also 4C to 18, 12ff. contain references to heretical views. And in the connection between 1E and 2A one notes that here, as in 23, 23 after the sentence se vasumam - no annesim one of the rhetorical figures which are not seldom follows in the text (see below). The remaining tristubh groups 5C and 6A belong together through the common relation to the reception which the doctrine finds in the listeners. In the conclusion of this investigation of what belongs together the question now emerges: what in fact is the so-called "verse style"? The most obvious explanation is assuming them to be sermons in prose with richly strewn quotations in verse, an impression expressed by Jacobi 1884 in the introduction (p. xlviii) to his translation. Opposed to it, however, now that the proper relations have come to light, is that in these complexes there are only metrically similar verses or fragments. That is, the prose is not primary, because it would then be inexplicable why their author extracted the illustrative quotations only from similar sources, but rather that precisely these metrical components make up the skeleton of our verse style. Popular series of stanzas were at the basis of these explanatory and interpretive addresses. These (53) addresses themselves, however, have not come down to us in their completeness. Rather, they are extant firstly only where their connection to the verses was especially intimate, in between Page #251 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 232 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 1 which (verses) the preacher inserted his own words, often disturbing the rhythm, or reworded, supplemented, yes, limited, the content (13, 4). Not seldom are verse quotations included in these elucidations: these are the places which unlike the spoken ("...") and reflected (...) words appear in the text in special quotes (, ...). Secondly, striking places have remained, mainly technical, schematic (23, 3) and logical (25, 12-16) series and enumerations which as such imprint themselves on one's memory. The longest such series can be found in 1C and 3C, in both cases, namely, near an accumulation of certain chiastic figures which have also been retained as orientation signs. Fifteen of them are to be counted in the text: from 3, 14 je logam abbhaikkhai, se attanam abbhaikkhai and vice versa onward. Through their appearance in both kinds of the verse style-albeit in uneven distribution, they are a proof of the approximate simultaneity of their origin and in their conspicuously large number together with several puns (16, 14. 25, 26) a characteristic of the rhetorical individuality of the preacher. That Mahavira himself would be the preacher is out of the question in view of the direct reference to him (12, 19 33, 22 39, 15). On the other hand, in the group of prose fragments 1A, etc., the ipsissima verba are evidently also introduced as such (cf. Caillat 1994, pp. 76. (WB)). Against the background of the so to say "sermonized" verses the analysis thus reveals the pure metre which admittedly does not quite splendidly do justice to the rules of regular verse construction. The metre is far more irregular than that of the Su., Utt. and Das. to which the metrical parallels of the Acar. include only correct lines. At a closer examination, by far not all lines indicated as metrical in print can be taken into consideration. Those which are more strongly disturbed are omitted even when, partly on the basis of parallels, I express my conjectures regarding how they are to be read metrically. Often one should not attempt to determine them entirely. The assumption of the verse character is based, e.g., for the conclusion of 22, 4 and for 29, 9, on the concluding viyahie which is very popular as a verse end. A jagati metre is to be supposed in 9, 24; 13, 16 could have read: ... siosina-ccai pharusiyam na veyai; 29, 27ff.: cira-rayam riyamananam daviyanam pas'ahiyasiyam; evam tesim kisa baha, payanu(e) mamsa-sonie. But who can prove this? By way of conjecture I also have for 6, 19: appam khu aum iha manavanam. The expression iha-m-egesim transmitted here has a reprimanding tone, as also almost always ege alone. But according to the meaning 2) the line cannot entail an accusation. For line 9, 11(read): anohatara ee (cp. p. 61) or anohamtaraga ee. Line 13, 18: nare (54) jara-maccu-vasovanie, cp. See Jacobi 1915, pp. 283f. for his reservation concerning Schubring's method of identifying verse fragments and explaining the genesis of the Ayar. which Schubring edited and is supplied in an appendix (WB). 2 Schubring uses the word "Sentenz" which means aphorism'. For Jacobi this line is not an aphorism (WB).

Utt. 26) arai kim vidharae; 31, 12: jana bhavanti lusaga; 35, 5: majjhima-vayasa v'ege. In other lines a minor transposition or omission of individual words is sufficient. (Some remarks regarding this can be found in the glossary under the first word of the line (the glossary has not been included here).) The places which are characteristic for a tristubh (jagati) line in the 11 (12) syllabic scheme are the 3rd and the 8th until the 11th (12h) syllable which are always short (with the exception of the 3rd in 6, 29 and 24, 10) or have the form ---- (or -). The remaining syllables are handled freely. The deviations from the scheme, however, are concentrated in three specific forms of the line (the parallels are counted only once): 1. The 6th and 7th syllables, both regularly short, are brought together as one long syllable. The caesura then is after the 5th syllable: 6, 2; 7, 7; 8, 19 (a quotation in the prose style); 9, 1; 12,9; 14, 21; 16, 3 and 5; 18, 9; 22, 20; 23, 12 (jagati) and 18; 30, 16 and 27 (cp. p. 56 below for a better variant for 15). There is a short syllable before these longs in 12, 26; 19, 11 and 26, following this in 24,9, and instead of it in 30, 15. The total number of these cases is 19, opposed to 7 each in Su. and Utt. and 2 in Das. (9 3. 6a and 12 7y). 2. The 5th syllable of the scheme is short, i.e., 3 shorts follow one after the other: 6,28 (jagati); 13,9; 18, 12f. and 17 (if one reads ya); 19, 24 [21, 22 according to my conjecture); 23, 6 (jagati); 28, 9; 30, 18. Altogether 9 cases, with as many in Su., 7 in Utt., and 1 in Das. (8 40a = 91. 12ss = 2. 3 a). 3. The line has an extra syllable after which is the caesura after the 4th syllable in the scheme: 9, 9; 13, 14f.; 19, 13 [22, 16 according to my conjecture); 24, 13; 32, 23. Altogether 7 cases as opposed to only 2 in Su. (I 13 238 and II 6 21c). Page #253 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 234 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring -- Appendix 1 In the sloka, which like the tristubh and the jagati, does not lack in irregularity and surplus syllables, we examine the 7th syllable and its appearance as short in the (55) odd padas and as long in the even ones. For this distinction it can be noted that in a series of cases a transposition of the padas is to be assumed: 3, 12 links up better with 10 than with 11; 4, 22 can only follow after 23; 19, 30 20, 12 and 28, 16 seem to appear behind their preceding lines because of their being annexes; and 15,4$ 20,7 28, 4 and 31, 23 are for some other reason before their previous lines. Only in 40, 1 is a case where both the padas really have their characteristic properties interchanged. Apart from this place the 7th syllable of the even pada is long four times (twice each in the Su. and Das. and thrice in Utt.). In the odd pada, on the other hand, without counting the above cases, it is short 31 times (12 in the Su., 120 in the Utt. and 35 times in the Das.). A part of the verse openings can also be scanned as aryas and that is exactly why they are indented to the right in print, just as aryas would be. Indubitable aryapadas, because they are six or seven syllabic, appear in: 10,28; 12, 16 (of the type A, see p. 60); 22, 26; 27, 16. 20. 24. 31; 30, 19 (instead of an even sloka-pada); 32, 20; 38, 1; 39, 13, and also in the omitted variants in: 4, 10* (sampayanti); 13, 20deg; 21, 6*; 24, 16*; 29, 15* and 17"; 33, 20deg. The conclusions from these metrical qualities are to be reserved for later investigations. Indeed, nothing is achieved with a mere comparative statistic because the related texts will have to be considered not as a whole, but according to their parts. As far as I can see, the tristubh form indicated in 1. above, for example, is limited in the Utt. from chapters 12 to 14. To the attempt at making an analysis I follow up with a synthesis. The task is to investigate how the mosaic has come about that is before us today, to proceed again along the way which the redaction took with the intention of creating a whole. The tradition by and large merely maintained the sequence of the extant crucial words and verses; however, in their circulation many fragments became detached from their old context and had to be brought in order. Even the tradition was not always sure. Thus, the sentence fragment in 11, 25, se ttam, can only be explained (by saying that in this place the memory that a samutthae has to appear here in continuation of the thought left in 11, 14, brought about the sentence which otherwise does not at all fit in with the rest. In uddesa 6 1 one sees the insertion 27, 15-28, 4, beginning with tehim (-tehim C] kulehim ayattae jaya and continuing the tristubh style beyond it with ... attatae tehim-tehim kulehim ... abhisamjaya. Line 32, 14 is completely out of context after 13, it is possible after 15 at the most; 16 has the same beginning tamha. Also, kankhejja kalam in 32, 23 after kalovanie is to be mentioned. In the same way, there is an evident anacoluthon in 33, 28 with the beginning tam parinnaya mehavi, and the same expression (56) in 34, 5 begins the ian International Page #254 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Walther Schubring's Analysis of his 1910 Acaranga-Sutra (Ayar'anga-suttam) edition 235 concluding sentence connecting to 33,26f. In all these cases the tradition of continuation was therefore active, but how this continuation was to run was questionable. Leumann 1899, p. 591 has shown that the redaction in such cases simply arranged the given variants one after the other, and so here too we have in front of us varying traditions. These are not the only variant readings of the text, but those which have been given directly one after the other. I have indicated above the more detailed variant of 7,3-6 which appears in fragments in 10, 7-11.9, 18f. and 21. Moreover, one has to regard as fragments: 14, 18f. from 14, 10f.; 30, 27f. from 30, 15--18; 38, 20f. from 37, 14-26. In grouping the fragments together one has to ask what criteria were decisive for it. The gaps in the text, then, which the analysis regards as beginning something new, have to be investigated in their connection to one another. It is not surprising that the arrangement follows with regard given to the content, but indeed how easily the redactor--to give a name to the author/s of the present form of the text--was satisfied with the appearance of an external relationship of content. The temptation for the link is in fact often great as, e.g., in 20, 16f. or 22, 15f., where the sentence seems to continue; or 9, 2 where matta seems to correspond to dupaya and cauppaya (8, 27); and in 12, 14 nandi to rai. One interpretation, which I regard as erroneous, makes the words munda in 28, 31 and vidhuya-kappa in 29, 18, to be taken as abstracts, to be connected to the sentences beginning with the concrete acela. It is less easy to excuse the redactor when, in order to undertake a stringing together, a word or word sequence here and there, indeed just the same verbal root or mere similarity of the sound, suffices. Within and outside the gap are the words: loga in 2, 3f., 3, 12f. and 27; pudho in 2, 5f. and 6f.; te in 6, 23f.; dhammavam (variant: 'vi) and dhammaviu in 13, 13.f.; vayanti in 18, 13 and 15; appa in 19, 19 and atta in 19, 21; bala 20, 31f.; ettha 21, 11 and 13 (?); from asana to paya-punchana in 32, 25f. and 33, 3; the word sequences logamsi jana and logassa janitta in 13, 9f.; the sentences tam no karissami in 4, 15 and tam je no karae in 4, 17, As in the preceding the roots which appear in the sentence put together are: pari-jna in 1, 19; budh in 2,16; pramad in 4, 3; jna in 5, 22; and gam in 15, 27. The mere sound connects: tanae, saranae with hassae, kiddae, etc., in 6, 25f.; immediately following this pamatta with hanta, chetta, etc., in 6, 30f. (!), whereby also je and se have been misleading. According to the model of samsamciyanam in 9, 1 tivihenam is entered again after manavanam in 9, 21 !Perhaps sadda in 13, 11 has also been brought about by satthovaraya. It is not rare that the sentences which follow each other have neither a linguistically external nor internal relation. This can be explained for (57) a part of the cases in this way: that the train of thought in the insertion runs in a different direction and hence no bridge leads back tion International Page #255 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 236 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring -- Appendix 1 from its tentative end to the disturbed context. However, I do not conceal that, more often than not, the reason for the sequence at hand is not clear or at least, in the explanation that comes to mind at the moment, is quite uncertain. It is to be supposed that the redactor in a few cases joined fragments together with an artificial device. Thus, in both the groups 2A and B, neither of which contains a trace of the idea dominating the other, one sees connected to each other: 6, 11 by the word tam-jaha; 6, 14 by the repetition of vase pamatte; and 9,6 by the words iti se parass'atthae. Even tam-jaha in 6, 20 gives a tertiary impression. It is as if the redactor, after having taken such liberties in the first chapter, as will be shown presently, now also in the second, wanted to make his own contribution by filling up the gaps. One place of this kind I see in the repetition of 30, 9 at the beginning of the new uddesa. Even more external is the achievement of the redactor where he puts fragments together for the sake of a uniform construction of several uddesas. In the Sammatta both the beginning and the conclusion are distinguished by the importance given to the prose sentences. The fifth chapter displays a deliberate distribution of the avanti sentences at the beginning and in the middle of the first uddesa, from where indeed the name Avanti of the whole section comes, instead of the gonna-nama (Niry. 238) Loga-sara. In the Vimoha one notices the insertion of verse lines before and in between the repeated prose sentences at the end of the second uddesa. The intention of the arrangement is even more prominent in the fourth to the seventh uddesas, all of which begin with the rules for clothing, 8G, and conclude with the same sloka lines. The tendency in the Sattha-parinna is carried out most consistently. Here, the entire chapter from the second uddesa onwards displays a deliberately uniform structure. Each and everyone of the uddesas has as support, the sentences to 1A given above-the Curni summarizes them under the name dhuva-gandiya ----which mutatis mutandis in stereotype repetition deal with injury of the earth, water and fire elements which are thought to be sentient, with plants, migrating animals and the wind element, a variation introduced with the world as a whole (loga) at the end of 1 1 is concluded in 7 with the summary chaj-jiva-nikaya. Introduced and interrupted is the dhuva-gandiya through sentences in the verse style, which apparently should represent examples for the transgression against each and every species of life. But it is clear that they cannot always be related to the corresponding elementary beings. The pudho-siya pana, allegedly earth beings, are supposed to be subject to the loss of their limbs. But besides the fact that according to (58) parallel places and the language it cannot be concerned with prthivi-, but only prthak-sritah pranah, the enumeration of all parts of the body in 2,23-30 is not compatible with these beings which are to be thought of as so to say uni-cellular; the word must refer to higher organisms. In the fourth and seventh uddesas the talk in verse style is about the killing Page #256 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Walther Schubring's Analysis of his 1910 Acaranga-Sutra (Ayar'anga-suttam) edition by fire and by thrusting or knocking (pharisa). Nevertheless, the grouping pretends (to give) a content of these sections, a content which should relate to the injury of fire and of wind! Deviating from the normal sequence in which the four elements earth, water, fire and wind are put one after the other (e.g., in Das. 4) the vau-sattha does not appear in the fifth uddesa. One sees that in the arrangement the redactor has let himself be led by the position of the verses, where the words eja and sampaima, both wrongfully, have been brought in relation to the wind element. Now, did the redactor have before him the entire dhuva-gandiya for all classes of being, or did he vary the model in the second uddesa five times, for the sake of the uniform construction of the chapter to be compiled? The situation that the repetitions unhesitatingly reproduce the syntactic confusions in 2, 9. 11. 13. 15f., and the fragmentary beginning in 20, speaks in favour of the latter assumption. Here, then, a kind of independent operation on the text would become visible at first, one that is not without parallels. It is namely apparent that for the attainment of a good uddesa conclusion, sentences from suitable places have been repeated. The sentence esa magge until novalippejjasi concludes the short summary of the discipline in 10, 30f. appropriately; where it appears in 8, 3-also coming after the ending ejja-it disturbs the train of thought which, as we saw (p. 57 above), immediately continues beyond the uddesa limits. Just as little do the following fit in: uddeso until anupariyattai in 26 (13,7); kim atthi until n'atthi in 44 (20, 26); and eyam monam (nanam) (saya) samanuvasejjasi in 5 2,4 (24, 30) and 6 1 (28, 13), whereas in the first occurrence of all three phrases in 2 3, 4 and 3 4 one finds them natural. That the optative ending of the third person singular was changed unmetrically into the second person, ejjasi, the Acar. is known to have in common with the Su., Utt. and Das. 237 We have still to talk about a feature which can be called an "induction" (Auslosung) and consists (in the following): the beginning of a common word sequence or an enumeration which links well in another place, but which does not bring about a suitable continuation in the case in question. The induced series, as is obvious, is capable of disturbing the train of thought and sentence structure, and to take them in a wrong direction. This accounts for se jaha vi after se bemi in 3, 6 from 27, 9 where a simile really follows; the conspicuous sayam in 3, 13 from 3, where it appears in opposition to anne; line 10, 2, which suddenly preaches about the prohibition of murder, from 27, 2 to which it belongs in context; 'akadam karissami' (59) ti mannamane in 11, 20 from 7, 1 where thereby the reason for the violent act is given. So also probably: the recollection of parinnaya before 15, 28, brought about the very same line 14, 4 after samayaya; and koham ca, etc., in 17, 11 followed by eyam pasagassa damsanam.... this very sentence stems from 16, 23f. after the shorter series. For 20, 12 (ande lambho n'atthi tti Page #257 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 238 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 1 bemi), na vijjai, n'atthi -- tti bemi appears in 17, 15 and 20, 26 instead of the probable anae n'atthi lambho; this may not be the only case in which tti bemi is merely induced: c'eva after eesu in 22, 17, as in the avanti sentences, from 22,13 (cp. p. 54 above); hicca uvasamam fits only in 19, 31, not 28, 17 where the relapse which takes place--this is indeed the meaning of the two words--is mentioned only in 28, 21. The half sloka pana pane kilesanti dropped into 29, 16 apparently owes it appearance to the place in Su. I 2 2. 14 caraga 'du va vi bherava, adu va tattha sarisiva siya; here the talk is really about wild animals, and the induction is only because of the thought, not the sound. In 31, 20 te phase puttho viro 'hiyasae would be traceable back to 22, 5: te ayanka phusanti: ...te phase puttho 'hiyasae, because the sequel with this summary of apostate characters, initially deals with an unwilling listener; (talk about the disloyal one out of weakness begins only in 32, 14 (actually 32, 16, see above p. 55). Quite clearly 33, 16 is occasioned by bhavai in 29, 25 36, 4, etc. In 35, 8 savvavanti ca nam logamsi appears after pariggahavanti, as well as after eyavanti in 1, 15. 21. Finally, in 35, 14 kheyanne induces the whole series of qualities of a monk which are known from 10, 17ff., where the word bhikkhu makes the sentence here too to appear appropriate. The last chapter of the first srutaskandha bears the name Uvahana-suya in the commentaries. The designation Ohana-suya chosen by Jacobi in his edition appears only in the manuscript B which alone mentions a title, apart from a single note in the margin in A. The beginnings of Mahavira's career as a pilgrim make up the subject of the text, namely, according to the Niryukti, the four sections of his cariya, sejja, parisaha and tigiccha. However, words from each of the first stanzas are misleadingly generalized here. One finds, rather, Mahavira's cariya dominant in the third uddesa, pind'esana in the fourth, and in the first general principles of his ascetic mode of life. As both show, (namely) according to the personal relation of this content, and according to the language in the recurrent use of the optative in the sense of the indicative and of asi with prominent adjectival and participial peculiarities, and also according to the form, where an old type of the arya appears, the poem deviates greatly from the remaining parts of the Bambhaceraim. The reason why it was appended to them is that it begins with a rule for clothing, even if with (60) one given by Mahavira for himself. Such rules for clothing, as we saw (on p. 51), take up an important place in the last prose uddesas of the Vimoho. One sees here again the redactor at work, how a passing contextual reference leads him to (make) a connection. Not only here is his hand to be noticed. Each of the four sections has the same stereotyped conclusion, namely, it is at least in part composed in the sloka metre. The beginning esa vihi anukkanto exactly corresponds, in his backwards pointing manner, to phrases like (e.g.,) esa magge ... paveie (10,31), which we have come across above Page #258 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Walther Schubring's Analysis of his 1910 Acaranga-Sutra (Ayar'anga-suttam) edition 239 (p. 58) as being put in its place by way of conclusion (p. 53). Whether it is to be read metrically is questionable because the form -uv-is known to be avoided. The pada: mahanena maimaya is known from the Vimoho (32, 22 35, 2 and 41, 26). The next pada can also be read as an arya. In this case, one would like to metrically emend the conclusion bhagavaya evam riyante (41, 27), which can be achieved with some violence: bhagavaya evam riyantenam (bhagavam is two-syllabic as in 42, 23). But probably there is to be a point after bha and evam riyam te is to be read: "so it is to be gone by you". The deformed form riya = *rtya is made amends for by te which, in directly turning to the listener, finds its complete counterpart in the earlier uddesa conclusion ejjasi (e.g., 7, 128,4 10,6). Moreover, it was unnecessary to attach a conclusion to the individual sections because in the word bhagavam, at least for the second to the fourth sections, a concluding climax was already thought of. The punctuation in the printed text follows the traditional idea of a continuous context. Nevertheless, an investigation into the metrical relations explains how it was undertaken. Jacobi 1884a pp. 595ff. and 1886 pp. 336ff. has dealt with the form of the arya as found in the Uvahana-suya appearing in Su. I 4 and in Sutta-Nipata 8 and 14 (see Alsdorf 1968 (WB)). Its characteristic as opposed to the later type is: instead of the fourth foot the concluding anceps syllable after the third and the arsis to the fifth with two or three morae, in the latter case a trochee, and also the uniformity of both half stanzas; the 2nd and the 6th foot predominantly has the form of an amphibrach. Apart from these types A and C is the separate type B which has retained from A the thesis of the 3rd foot, but which in the manner of C allows a complete 4th foot to follow; it also has the shortening of the 6th foot in the second half stanza characteristic for C. Utt. 8 also evinces this form B, where as a rule both halves are built like C, but are equal (see Alsdorf 1966 (WB)). In our text there are following B as the first lines of a stanza: 11deg (metrically more exact: jaha); 56 60 (sayanam or sejjam); 7* 9* (the 6th foot is defective); 150 2 20 70 3 86 106; as the second line: 2 664 10 (if teicocham can be read) 36 (read: chayae); following C as the first lines: 1 100 (Nae or vire instead of (61) Naya-putte) 200 (read: pamajjya) 2 16 (the second half) 14"; as the second line: 2 12 (read: tusnie) 146. Tristubh beginnings are in 1 1662 109, probably also 1 22 if one is allowed to restore bahum pasarettu parakkamejja. Similarly the tristubh rhythm is latent in 2 2 and 4 145, for which one should compare the pathantaras. I see a sloka beginning in 3 78 = 35,9; 2 39 begins with prose. In the printed edition only 2 10 is indicated where, in dismissing the stanza with the words esa puccha, the Curni seems to have doubted its authenticity. The remaining full and half lines are aryas of the type A and, moreover, more or less metrically correct, if according to this (correctness) one considers the amphibrach in the 2nd and the 6th foot, surrounded by anapests or spondees in the 1st (here also iambuses), 3rd, 5th, Page #259 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 240 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring -- Appendix 1 and 7th feet. A few inaccuracies, as pointed out above, would have to be corrected, although they perhaps do not stem from the tradition, but are original: 1 8 abhivayayamine, 11" abhocca, 14* tasatae, 17* yam anadeg(so alo the MSS), 2 5. sevai, asi, 156 caei, 3 4" karenti (= causative; kadeg inserted for clarity), 66 Omana-?, 12* ucsalaiya, in l 16 kriyam and in 2 150 bhagvam are to be scanned; 1 10deg is in order if one transposes the verse halves and instead of Nai-sue one puts say Nae (cp. 12, 19) or vire (the same in , see above); then gadhie is to be read. The position as it is today has been favoured by lines like 41, 14f. ending in addakkhu. To distinguish between lines of better or lesser metrical quality--which in short I want to call A, and A,- is not futile, but becomes significant as soon as one looks closer at the content. The stanza pairs 1 2f., on the one hand, and 4 an 22, on the other, are contradictory. According to 2f. in winter Mahavira either renounced clothing or, and this is the more probable explanation, refuses new clothing offered to him and then for more than four months, continuing to wear the old clothing, was tormented by the vermin in it. According to the second stanza pair, however, after his pravrajya, which according to Acar. II 15 22 took place in the first winter month, he wore the same garment for thirteen months, and abandoned it only in the second month of the second winter in order from then on to go without clothing. These stanzas with irreconcilable content display the following metrical picture: A, appears in 2* 3* b; A in 2; on the other hand A, in 22", A, in 48 b 22 (here there is a tristubh beginning). In this way the first pair, according to occurrence of Aj, is to be seen as metrically more correct than the second pair. In the 1st uddesa the lines 58 670 86 10(see above) 11-15* 169 170 and 1926 are of the same type A . Now, it is not a question of contrasting these A, lines as a whole with the A2, B and C lines, because the contrast already features in our example A, (62) on both sides, But further observations evince that at least two contexts are worked into each other: the one consisting of lines of the type A, and also A,, the other not without A, but predominantly of the type A2, B and C (the latter appearing also as insertions) and with hetero-metrical line beginnings. I am not attempting an exact distinction in which, by assigning (a passage) to A, sometimes on this and sometimes on that side, I could be guided only by moments of instinct, but I am only putting together what is now apparent. The Nagarjuniya reading of 1, 7 shows how the content is intended: "spoken to [by a woman) (or not) the Lord does not permit the evil action"; with pavaga, which would not be intelligible after 7deg, sexuality is meant. Consequently 70 is the continuation of 6*, to which there is a copy of the type B) in 66; 7deg is continued by 8". With 15', after gaining the knowledge of universal sentience, an examination of the uvahi of the fool begins. Not 156, and hardly 166, continue these, but 176 and 1986; if, on the other hand, one strings together 17" and 18, then a much better sense emerges, now to be related to food Page #260 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Walther Schubring's Analysis of his 1910 Acaranga-Sutra (Ayar'anga-suttam) edition 241 (ahakada) instead otherwise relating aivattiya anautti to women. -- 200 has no connection to 20* and, moreover, it is a C line. This lets me suppose that the optatives appearing here are not this time used indicatively, but are authentic and that the line stems from another context. The same seems to me to be certain about 2 12. To conclude from the similarity of the first half to 38, 31 and 19, this line does not refer to Mahavira, but asserts a general monk's rule. We are now already in the 2nd uddesa, the beginning lines of all of which, with the exception of 1', evince metrical deficiencies: 1 makes up a sentence unit in itself, whereas one expects a demonstrative dependent clause. The next lines read as if somehow pieced together out of prose series in the manner of Acar. II 2 2. 8, Jin. 89 and the conclusion of Aup. 38. That is why, although it is also not structured according to A, 4* is to be connected to 1", where the desired correspondence to jao sejjao appears in eehim sayanehim. If one can not see 126 as a continuation of 12", then one finds it in 1586. Since it is a C type, stanza 14 characterizes itself as an insertion which, in the spondee form of the 4th foot in a reveals an error (Jacobi 1886, p. 336). According to its content the 3rd uddesa is the most uniform; its stanzas display a form mixture which I have above contrasted with the A, type only occasionally mixed with A). A disturbance of the context does not take place here. On the other hand, 1 of the 4th uddesa is in direct contradiction to 1"; the B line is linked to this A, line only because of the word roga. - 4 should not be connected with 4* because this (63) would mean that Mahavira would have eaten only that summer long in the manner described, whereas it is said in 5 that this lasted eight months long. Rather, one has to bring 30 and 4together. The former line appeared after 38 under the influence of the same train of thought which already appears in 35, 17ff. Stanzas 4 to 5 are of the type A2. It is doubtful whether with 6", where for a long section the type A, is again employed, also another fragment begins. There need not be a contradiction if one relates the half or full month abstention from drinking to those eight months and the other large pauses to the time afterwards. --- From 14* to the end another context emerges which sounds more like the 2nd uddesa; with the exception of the first and second) lines, these lines then also belong to the type Az. At the places where various contexts encounter one another, the same words or the same sound appear repeatedly in the bordering lines. Thus, 1 1 and 2' have tamsi hemante common to them, 70 and 8nabhibhas", 176 and 18" addakkhu, and apart from this savva-kamm'avahao and savvaso kammuna ya here echo each other; thus from Nai-sue and Naya-putte the disturbance of the only possible sequence 9" 109 95 106 can be explained. In the second uddesa the word asana joins the first two lines. Only the following observation is necessary, in order sonal Page #261 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 1 to make it certain, that the Uvahana-suya as we have it today is no less the work of our "redactor" than that of the previous chapters, for we have found in the latter almost all the features which characterize his work in the former. 242 I do not think that I have to especially excuse the great detail with which I have dwelt on particulars in the course of the investigation. It has been a first attempt to look at a canonical Jaina work genetically. One would be able to proceed more summarily with other canonical texts. The same method used for them will likewise not rarely "reveal a swirling chaos of atoms", to use Franke's expression, whose observations for the Sutta-Nipata (Franke 1909, pp. Iff.), and often in a welcome way, confirm mine which were long established for me. Just as there for the history of the Tipitika, so also here building bricks for the Jaina canon will be gained.

(The page numbers after the slash / correspond to those of the translation here. (The Swiss scholar Leumann (1859-1931) was a pioneer in the field of Jaina studies and Schubring's teacher. Most of his important studies remained unpublished and what was printed was mostly in German, so that he is hardly known outside Europe. See also Balbir's "Vorwort" to Leumann's Kleine Schriften, 1998: IX, WB).) 243 After a foreword the work begins with an introductory chapter which in Schubring's laconically terse style of 26 pages contains as much material as one would probably otherwise find in 50 or more pages and which, further, no one else but Schubring could have offered with equally encompassing detailed knowledge. At the outset here a history of the development of the extant Jaina canon is sketched out, whereby metrical indications (sloka, tristubh, vaitaliya, aupacchandasaka, vedha and arya-I would like to add that the vedha also appears with the Buddhists in one Jataka) are successfully realized. One other parallel with the Buddhist canon could have been added: Anga 1 corresponds to the Vinaya, Anga 2 (the name of which is quite artificially interpreted by Schubring on p. 12 in the middle/ here p. 13) to the Sutra-pitaka, and the numerical arrangement reappears in the Ekottar 'agama (Ang'ullara-nikaya); the fifth Anga, finally, coincides with the Abhidharma-pitaka. The other Anga texts and everything else (apart from a few formulas like the samayika which I have translated in Die Nonne, pp. 86 and 101) make up newer layers of the Jaina canon. From the canon Schubring turns to Mahavira the person who-apart from the two existing descriptions in the canon of the external course of his life-is known to us essentially from Anga 5. In this context Schubring's observation on pp. 23f./29 that Mahavira supposedly teaches a questioner with wit, is not quite appropriate. A Brahmin put all kinds of tricky questions to him and Mahavira saw through them, and discharged him with appropriate answers. There is not here, as Schubring supposes, a bold play on words; one of the tricky questions was: "are sarisavaya (to be read so) eatable according to you?", to which Mahavira replies: no, if sadrsa-vayasah are meant, but yes, if you mean sarsapakah. 1 See Leumann 1921. The corresponding pages of his Kleine Schriften are 659 and 674. Page #263 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 244 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring -- Appendix 2 I have described Mahavira's sense for realia, which is touched upon by Schubring at the bottom of p. 18/23, as a special trait of his personality in my booklet Buddha und Mahavira (Leumann 1922). In a historical survey of the Jaina canon, as I would like to add here finally, the great and interesting textual reference to the Buddhist canon which I discovered in 1881 and presented through short translations in the Actes ... (Leumann 1885b), should have also been mentioned and discussed. Of lesser importance is what Padalipta alludes to about the canon of his time in his Nonne (my translation pp. 98f. (Leumann 1921) = Kleine Schriften, pp. 671f.). The main content of Schubring's valuable book now, however, are the critical translations from the Jaina canon. All of them evince a complete mastery over the material and a most careful regard for the tradition. Everything significant has been drawn from Angas 1 and 2, namely, we find a complete translation of the main part of the first Anga which Schubring edited in 1910 in an excellent way with a glossary, and translations of about half of all the chapters of the second Anga. A peculiarity of these ancient components of the canon is that they often display short sentences of metrical composition within the prose, and also that in individual places the text seems to give occasion for minor transpositions. In his striving for order and clarity Schubring has all over provided a full insight into the circumstances. Whether one could always follow his general interpretation of the mixture of prose and verse pieces, and in each and every case the possibilities of transposition, I do not know quite for certain, but cannot enter into a discussion here because it would require much too much space. I may be allowed to single out only a few small details. On p. 40/48 and fn. 3/80 the translation "powers" (=dependent people) may be strange, as also the expression "in logical development" on p. 41/49. On p. 42/51 I have to defend the traditional classification of the "13 Cases (Falle) of Action" (Schubring thinks that the tenth case (Schubring uses the German word Arten/ways) would belong to the first five; these, however, have always to do with a violent deed, the tenth with the enormous severity in punishment). On p. 118/134 paliya-tthana is rendered as "workshop (Werkstatte)", as already in the glossary (of his 1910 ed. p. 89); but paliya is a certain puna (or rasi or samcaya), which is why paliovama denotes an enormous duration (a kala-punja). We can move from the somewhat indefinite notion punja towards the more definite notion, which Schubring distilled from the commentary, under the assumption that paliya strictly speaking would mean "magazine" Page #264 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Translation of Ernst Leumann's review of Schubring's Worte Mahaviras 245 or "heap"; i.e., paliovama means "a heap of time" (something like an aeon is meant) and paliya-tthana "store" (i.e., a place where all kinds of things are heaped up or housed). Since paliya-tthana appears together with palala-punja, "heap of straw", then "silo" or "barn" can be meant. Schubring has gone through a great deal of trouble to translate each time individually the frequently occurring series of words pana bhuta jiva satta, following certain places of the commentary ("lower animals, plants, higher beings, other living beings"); the variability in the sequence of the four words alone already shows that the four existing synonyms for "living beings" are simply tautologically heaped together because for the Jainas everything simply turns around the fact that such beings should not be injured or endangered in any way. On p. 85/98 one is reminded of the Buddhist "chain of conditions", the so-called pratitya-samutpada, where a similar chain appears. A third such chain, again a Jaina one, appears in the abovementioned novel by Padalipta (my translation p. 89 on the top, (Leumann 1921)). Since Schubring's translations go together with his edition of the text mentioned above, I would also like to draw attention to the fact that the old arya metre here would emerge more clearly if the anusvara would be removed or replaced by the anunasika (which Schubring uses just a few times) wherever it disturbs the metre. Also the lengths, shorts, and apostrophizing of the vowels demanded by the metre should have been not just occasionally but systematically carried out. Schubring has appended several emendations (not all of which, however, are correct) in his 1910 edition, p. 61. Generally it is to be noted that A. certain readings handed down or printed are to be adapted to the normal pattern of the metre, B. certain exceptional patterns of the metre are to be accepted in favour of the readings handed down. The places that come under A can be rubricated as follows: I. 1. The anusvara almost never has any value in words ending in him and 'aim, 2. often also not in the accusatives in 'am and 'im, 3. never in absolutives in deganam (p. 40 14 arusiyana), 4. not even medially in samgama (p. 43 9 and 19, both times to be read samgama). - On the arya metre see Alsdorf 1966 and 1968. See his Kleine Schriften 1974 p. VIII, (WB). Page #265 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 246 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring Appendix 2 II. Lengths (apart from those by Schubring) are necessary: p. 42 3 sevai, 23 tamsi, 43 17 uccalaiya, 29 manthu. 2. Shorts (apart from those marked by Schubring) are necessary: p. 40 19 and 43 14 both hanta-hanta, 40 22 misi-bhavam, 42 (4 and) 7 (both) asi, 43 6 "camana. 3. Apostrophizing (apart from those by Schubring) are necessary: p. 42 7. 11. 12 all three 'nega, 23 'hiyasae, 43 7 vosajj' anag, 44 18 ruves". III. With similar sounding syllable series a simplification (haplology) takes place (as in the novel Die Nonne); I am bracketing what is omitted in the metre: p. 41 32 agant(are) aramagare, 42 31 himsi (msu) nivaimsu [here, however, also the reading from G('sisu "aisu (WB)) would be possible]. IV. Delete: on p. 40 28 mihum, 41 21 ya, 29 n'asa. Also, on p. 41 7 tasattae is probably not to be changed as with Schubring, but the ya before it is to be deleted. V. One should take over from the manuscripts: p. 41 32 taha, 43 9 and 19 va (instead of va). Also, on p. 41 21 pamajjejja (not pamajjiya) would have to be taken over although it is read only by D (D, however, reads "jjijja (WB)). Even the reading carejja suggested by Schubring in his translation p. 118, fn. 1/134, fn. 109, which does not appear in any manuscript, (for care in his ed.) p. 41 23, would be recommendable if here, not as in 40 26, an exceptional scansion belonging to group B were to be supposed. VI. A reduplication of the consonant after the prefix (as on p. 43 16 parissahai) has to be adopted in 42 9 kuccara, 10 uvassagga. - For B the following can be ascertained: I. The arsis which has the measure or - exceptionally has four morae, namely: 1. an amphibrach: p. 40 9 jaha se [or anapaest jaha se?], 41 31 palala, 43 10 aladdha, 2. a dactyl: 41 10 tam padi, 3. an anapaest: 40 26 aiyacc". II. The arsis is missing in 42 12. 43 11. 20. 27. III. The arsis appears not only at the beginning of the second half-line but also at the beginning of the first half-line: 44 3. 19. IV. At the beginning of a line, instead of the normal beginning, there is exceptionally just one mora: 40 9. 16. 41 33. 43 7. 16. At the beginning of 41 15 probably the variant aha is to be inserted into the text. Page #266 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Translation of Ernst Leumann's review of Schubring's Worte Mahaviras 247 V. Wherever the first half-line closes with a short syllable and the second begins with a trochee, there quite naturally a first arya-line of the later type is formed: 40 20. 24 (with abhivayamine (thus Schubring p. 61 of the ed.) or in the passive abhivaiyamane]. 27.41 3. 12. 20. 29. 42 9.11. 14.26.29 [if onaim pi ceva is read with C]. 44 17 [if Schubring's own word order put in question in his translation were accepted). From all these lines only 42 11 is decidedly of a later composition because the old caesura is missing. VI. There is a complete arya of a later composition with an abridged second line in 42 21f. VII. A number of lines remain which can hardly be scanned. And even some of them, which we have classified above, are compatible with a different interpretation; e.g., in 42 12 and 43 27, where the arsis appears to us to be missing, one can forcibly create such a one: one would have to read (as opposed to A. I. 1 and II. 3!) saddaim anega and in accordance with A. II. 1) chayae jhai. Further, together with Schubring, one might like to admit a sloka-beginning here and there in the places mentioned under B. IV, although then, of course, dozens of other places which have a long syllable at the beginning of the line, would have to be recognized as a sloka-beginning in the same way. Indeed, if the opening of the first half of an old arya line is - (not --), it would generally become a normal sloka-pada. The old arya is somewhat less similar to the sloka rhythm with the Buddhists in Suttanipata I. 8 and IV. 14. Moreover, some here are not quite easy to scan either, especially in the latter chapter.

Page #267 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Page #268 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Translation of Hermann Jacobi's review of Schubring's 1910 Acaranga edition 249 Appendix 3 Schubring's 1910 edition of the Acaranga-Sutra is briefly reviewed by H. Jacobi in his "Der Jainismus", Archiv fur Religionswissenschaft, vol. 18, 1915, pp. 269-286. Here the translation of the concerned pages 283-285. (Schubring's text and analysis are supplied in Appendix 1.) I proceed now to the editions of Jaina texts edited or revised by European scholars. Among these Dr Walther Schubring's new critical edition of the first part (Srutaskandha) of the Acaranga Sutra takes an outstanding place in which he, apart from ample manuscript material, also carefully takes the Curni and the Tika into consideration (Schubring 1910). However, (preparing) the text edition is not the only purpose, nor the chief merit of the editor. Apart from this Schubring wants to show the various parts out of which he thinks the text is compiled in the form of a mosaic, as also (284) to demonstrate the manner and method of their being joined together. Already in my [own] edition of the text in the Pali Text Society, 1882, I had highlighted in the print numerous metrical fragments in the prose (parts of the) text. Schubring now goes significantly further in the indication of such fragments, often with doubtless justification, but also frequently in places where one can hardly suppose that they stem from a corrupted verse--something which he himself does not deny. He thereby can distinguish three kinds of texts: those in the prose, sloka and tristubh styles, depending on whether the concerned) place is purely in prose, or mixed with sloka or tristubh fragments. Now, within the same kind of text Schubring thinks that he finds a connection of ideas, and partly also a similarity of expression, out of which their correlation would follow. Despite the keen perception employed unto them, and many a correct observation, the whole still has little persuasive power. Much less intelligible is Schubring's explanation of the origin of this text mosaic. In his opinion the verse fragments are not, as I had assumed, interwoven into the text by the author (in a way similar, say, to a pastor well-versed in the Bible might amply mix his sermon with Biblical phrases and expressions), rather the opposite: the "metrical components make up the skeleton of our verse style. Popular series of stanzas were at the basis of these explanatory and interpretive addresses" (p. 52) [p. 229 above]. One could perhaps think that stanzas of pregnant content might have been used in this way; but fragments of verses, and that too, often after abandoning their proper form--for this there is no analogy at all in India. Even Page #269 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 250 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 3 the assumption that a verse would be explained piece by piece, that is "sermonized" (p. 53 [230 above]), has no support in the facts of the case, in the actual transmitted text. Therefore, although I cannot accept Schubring's attempt at explaining the puzzling structure of the text, still I readily recognize his keen perception and observational skill which (285) has allowed him to discover several peculiarities in the working method of the "redactor". Even in his glossary [pp. 64-109, omitted in Appendix 1] several excellent observations are inserted so that the work advances in many ways an understanding of the Acaranga Sutra. One would have been more thankful to the editor had he attached a translation of the text as he believes it has to be understood. (Jacobi wrote this in 1915 and Schubring did translate this text in 1926 in his Worte Mahaviras (pp. 66-121, here pp. 77-138 above) which we have now translated into English here, including the other texts which Schubring also translated.] Page #270 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 251 Appendix 4 Addition to fn. 54, p. 20: The stanzas of the 1879 Calcutta edition of the Acaranganiryukti, to which Schubring refers, will hardly be available today. Further, they were omitted in the 1916 edition, without any reasons being given for this, nor do they appear in the otherwise very useful Niryukti-samgraha by Vijayakarpura and Vijayamsta. This is the reason why they are supplied here, with their original numbering (which differs from those given by Schubring). Some textual corruptions could perhaps have been emended if we had real pada and not only the pratika indices of the Nijjuttis, above all of the Avassaya, Vavahara and Nisiha Nijjuttis. In the absence of any commentaries and this could be the reason why these stanzas were omitted in later Ayar. editions--the translation given below is purely tentative in a few places. This is all the more the case because also the metre in some of them (e.g., 259) is faulty and can be restored only provisionally. The same is also the case with the gap in vs 260. However, the gaps in 253, 258, 261 and 265 defied being filled at all, and the corruptions in 252 and 265 could not be eliminated. The short text supplied here has several rare words' which should be preserved here. Ahiyasitt'uvasagge, introducing adhyayana 6 is the Nijjutti stanza no. 250 in the 1879 ed. and no. 251 in the 1916 ed., folio 210b 3.

Oggaha can mean "abode, accommodation' (Ayar. 2, 1, 5,4: Schubring 1935, Page #272 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W.

There is a sixfold classification (niksepa) of importance and extent. 263 Importance exists in material, spatial, temporal and religious sense, but a great name arises when these are extensive. 264 People who excel in material, spatial, temporal and religious sense are indeed famous because of this extent. 265 Recognition (or: renunciation) should be known in material, spatial, temporal and metaphorical sense. Know ledge and ... are twofold, each of them. 266 Religious renunciation is twofold: the fundamental and the additional merits." The fundamental merits are fivefold, but the additional ones twofold. 267 Enjoyment of important (qualities). Renunciation is twofold here: with regard to (kinds of) renunciation (and) degree of importance. Then there is great renunciation (?). 268 One (becomes a true) ascetic through threefold (renunciation): of divine, human and animal-born women. (This is the Nijjutti of the great renunciation. The seventh lesson called the "great renunciation" is lost from the sutra. Here ends it Niryukti (Nijjutti)." $153); however, neither fits into the context here. Perhaps neither meaning was intended, see, e.g., stanza 256f. For the relatively neutral translation 'requisite', which at least includes clothing, see Deo 1956, p. 263. 15 Cf. Schubring 1935, $ 176. 14 Cf. Oha-nijjutti 468 (in Bollee 1994, p. 376, read sinana). 1 On these see Caillat 1965, p. 125. 10 Pamaya is masculine and thus in the accusative here, unless one assumes an -am/-o error as, e.g., sovagaputtam instead of -putto in Utt. 12, 37, uvaogo / -am in Oha-bhasya 233, etc. 1 On the Jaina exegetical literature see Alsdorf 1977, pp. 1-8 (- Kleine Schriften, pp. 816-823). It is a pity that Alsdorf's notes on the Avassaya-nijjutti from his literary remains have not been included in his Kleine Schriften. Page #273 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 254 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring- Appendix 4 Addition to fn. 3, p. 33: None of the lotuses mentioned here are noted as edible in Syed 1990, but she says the roots of the Nymphaea stellata (kumuda?) are eaten in Ceylon and the roots of padma are eaten by elephants (p. 657). Prakash 1961, p. 73, however, mentions the edibility of lotus stalks (saluya) from Ayar. 2, 1,8, 3; Vinaya I 246, 16, etc. Jaina ascetics are not allowed to eat them, but the Buddha allowed eating them. Addition to fn. 81, p. 49: Schubring's rendering of (janejja:) tam viljati tesim parakkame jass'attha te ceiyam siya, tam jaha ... surprised already Leumann (1929, p. 159, see Appendix 2 above). This is also the text commented upon by silanka (1917 Bombay ed., folios 300b 2f.): vidyate tesam grhasthanam evam-bhuto vaksyamanah parakramah samarthyam ahara-nirvartanam pratyarambhas tena ca yad ahara-jatam yasya carthaya yat-krte tat ceritam iti dattam nispaditam syad bhavet. The text of this edition (= folios 36a 5f. of the 1953 ed.) is quite different, however, and seems to be confused with SS 55 where ...cetiyam siya tam is followed by (appano puttain' atthae java aesae pudho pahenoe samasae payarasae samnihi-samnicao kijjai iha etesim pranavanam bhoyanae) no sayam bhunjai ... and SS 56 begins with tattha bhikkhu para-kadam para-nitthitam ... Jacobi (1895, p. 353) translated parakkame as (financial) 'means', whereas its usual meanings are "attack, heroism, courage, power, strength, energy, exertion, enterprise' (Monier-Williams). As often, Jacobi's rendering may have been based on Silanka's samarthya, 'ability', whereas Silanka may have thought of 'power, strength, force', the notion being the same for him, of course (for Sil. the word parakkama, had several meanings, depending on the context). Thus the passage is perhaps to be understood as they i.e., the laymen) have the power, i.e., are able, have the means to procure food = ahara-nirvartanam) for whom it (will) be given' or 'they undertake it ...' Addition to fn. 102, p. 65: In the 1978 (Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya) Bombay ed. of the Suyagada by Jambuvijayaji reads vegaccha(cchinnayam kareha) hiyay'uppadiyayam (pp. 178f.) and refers to Aup. $ 70: vaikaccha-cchinnaga hiya'uppadyaga. The Ladnun edition reads: veyavahitam ... angavahitam. Addition to fn. 103, p. 65: The Ladnun edition reads: phodiyapayam with the variant pakkhaphodiyam. Jambuvijayaji's edition mentions many more readings, but pakkhaphoaiyam, 'rending his flank', would make sense here. Footnote 14, p. 80: The same word visottiya, which Schubring translates here as "side path", also appears in 29, 6 further below which he renders as "wrong way". For the etymology of this word, which cannot be visrotasika, see Bollee 1998, p. 220. Addition to fn. 38, p. 85: Whereas Schubring translates: "Or with the remaining food ...", Jacobi 1884, p. 16 has: 'Or he heaps up treasures for the benefit of some spendthrifts, by pinching himself.' ional Page #274 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) Footnote 48, p. 86: In the glossary to his edition of the text Schubring explains -bala as bali at the end of a bahuvrihi compound by transfer into the -a declension. According to the commentaries bala means the power obtained by personal gifts to relatives, etc., or through strengthening on their part, or by bloody sacrifices to spirits and gods, namely, power that is based on violence. Pischel's grammar does not mention this transfer, but Schubring's reference to Pali panca-bali is striking. Jacobi 1884, p. 18 translates this quite differently. Footnote 156, p. 103: The part of the line dealt with here is: "always making an effort, looking at what has been combined, renouncing voluntarily". 255 For samiya ... jaya "always making an effort" cf. Suy. I 16, 3; 2, 1, 60, etc. Instead of Schubring's "has been combined" Jacobi 1884, p. 41, has: 'full of equanimity', where Sil. is also quoted: nirantara-darsinah subhasubhasya. The compound may be a hapax legomenon and the Curni 153, 11 only states: samthadam nama nirantaram. According to Schubring's glossary the etymon of samghada is samhrta; the PSM has samghata (could this be a corruption of sammatta (-damsin) found in 23, 28?). In Pali there are many compounds with dassin, but none from the Pali-English Dictionary is applicable here. The word which Schubring translates as "renouncing voluntarily", aovarayanam, is omitted by Jacobi 1884, p. 41. The Curni paraphrases it as sammam nanam ca tava-samjame virayati pava-kammaim (153, 10) and Sil. explains it as atmoparatah papa-karmabhyah. If the Curni is right then the first member of the compound, aovaraya, must be the Prakrit equivalent of Sanskrit agas, Pali agu which, in the PSM is listed as aya, without reference to the sense of 'papa', and in a rare commentary (not available to me) in the sense of 'aparadha, gunha'. In this case the meaning of aovaraya would be 'renouncing evil'. For the transition of -s stems into the first declension see Pischel SSSS 408f. nivvana-maggam. Addition to fn. 180, p. 107: Jacobi 1884, p. 46, translates: "But a sage who walks the beaten track (to liberation)...", reading -pahe in the regular sense of Sil. who gives -bhae as a variant. For the Curni it is the other way around: Vyatha bhayacalanayoh (Dhatupatha 1, 801) jena atthaviha-kamma-ganthi-bhayam jamma-marana-bhayam vd sammaltam viddham sa bhavati samviddha-bhae muni, vahitam ti va caliyam ti va (khobhiyam ti va) egattha, sattaviham va jena bhayam samviddham. Ahava samviddha-pahe. Tattha samviddham iti sannatam, padho nanadi. So jassa samviddho sa bhavati samviddha-pahe, jam bhanitam: sammam uvaladdho muni bhanito (177, 3-6). The Curni seems to derive (sam)viddha from the root vyath. Sil.'s comment here is: samviddha-pathah samyag-viddhah taditah ksunnah panthah -- moksa-margo jnana-darsana-caritrakhyo yena, sa tattha (212a 1f. on sutra 154). Read: 'samdiddha-pahe, 'for whom the path is clear', and cf. Say. 2, 7, 18 (Ladnun ed.): a-samdiddham... Addition to fn. 212, p. 112: If not for a solution, at least for a better understanding of the passage concerned here one would have to draw on the Curni by 'Jinadasa' (1950 Ratlam ed.) despite the poor quality of its transmission, and the Tika by Silanka (1917 ed.). This is especially useful in the case of the Curni because it apparently had a different reading which Page #275 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring Appendix 4 Schubring does not mention in the critical apparatus to the Ayar. which he edited (supplied in Appendix 1 above).

Addition to fn. 11, p. 115 In his commentary Silanka explains the relevant passage here in this way: antaraiehim: ... avadharanad eva hi sa-antaraya kama .... A-kevaliehim (!): kevalam - sampunnam na kevaliya -- a-sampurna (Curni 211, 5ff.). Antarayikaih kamaih -- bahu-pratyapayaih. Na kevalam a-kevalam bhava akevalikah sa-dvandvah sapratipaksa iti yavat a-sampurna va (Silanka 241a 6f.). As Therigatha 492 also shows: bahu-du[k]kha kama akkhata antarayika, sensual pleasures are hindrances. For a-kevaliya, 'unsatisfactory', Mahaniddesa 300, 4 on Suttanipata 891 has a synonym similar to the one in the curni above: a-kevali te, a-samatta te, a-paripunna te, viz., those who are imperfect sectarians (see also Norman 1992, p. 161 on Suttanipata 82). For the Buddhists the reason for the unsatisfactoriness of kama is that they are a-nicca (Therigatha 187f.); similarly Nayadhammakahao 1, 109 (Ladnun ed.) in a long list of epithets calls kama-bhoga, among others, a-dhuva a-nitiya a-sasaya. Footnote 17, p. 115: Jacobi 1884, p. 56 translates: 'he will successively give up sinfulness, after having come to a knowledge of it.' For partydenam Schubring follows Sil.'s explanation by taking sramanya as 'religious austerity, mendicancy", Monier-Williams and Ratnachandra. Addition to fn. 41, p. 120: Jacobi 1884, p. 62 says the following in his footnote: "This and the following paragraph are extremely difficult to translate. I have translated the words according to the scholiast, and supplied what he supplies; but his interpretation can scarcely be reconciled with the text'. This is his translation of the two paragraphs: 'I say: To friendly or hostile (heretics) one should not give food, drink, dainties and spices, clothes, alms-bowls, and brooms; nor exhort these persons to give (such things), nor do them service, always showing the highest respect. Thus I say. (1) (A heretic may say): Know this for certain: having or not having received food, &c. (down to) brooms, having or not having eaten (come to our house), even turning from your way or passing (other houses; we shall supply your wants). Confessing an individual creed, coming and going, he may give, or exhort to give, or do service (but one should not accept anything from him), showing not the slightest respect. Thus I say. (2). Page #276 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) Addition to fn. 83, p. 129: Whereas Schubring suggests vasumanto maimanto, Caillat 1991, p. 84 wants to read vusimanto. For "all" in "all that is incomparable" cf. Bollee 1988, p. 79 (should one read saccam instead of savvam?). 257 Footnote 92, p. 131: On this introduction see Caillat 1994, p. 82, fn. 39. On this lecture see Verclas 1978, pp. 78ff., and 156-161 for a comparison with similar Buddhist and Brahmanical descriptions of ascetic life. Addition to fn. 96, p. 132: According to Verclas 1978, p. 79 stanza 8 may be taken together with 9ab, followed by 9cd and 10. The last word of 9b, abhivayamine, is metrically faulty. Addition to fn. 116, p. 134: For what Schubring translates as "workshops", paliya-tthana, Leumann 1929, p. 159 (p. 243 above) in his review of the work translated here, thinks that a'barn' could be meant, cf. Turner 1973, no. 7963. Addition to fn. 117, p. 134: An empty house was a favoured place for meditation (e.g., Haribhadra's Samaraiccakaha 760, 6; with the Buddhists, e.g., Vinaya 1 97, 10, discussed by Schlingloff 1985, p. 332). However, "empty" means only empty of human beings, as Silanka I 297b 8 (1935 ed.) teaches us when commenting on Ayar. 1, 9, 2, 7: sunya-grhadav ahi-nakuladayo ye praninah. Other dangers are also mentioned in Lankavatara-sutra p. 249: sunyagara-sthitasya caikakino raho-gatasya viharato 'syamanusyas tejo haranti. This accounts for the warning in Suy. 1, 2, 2, 15 that a great monk should not get goose-meat in an empty house and Visnudharma-sutra 70, 13 forbids laymen to sleep there. In a note on Utt. 2, 23 Jacobi 1895, p. 12 explains 'empty house' as one in which there are no women. In Pali sunnagara is often translated as 'empty place, solitude' (PED); but even in the forest monks can only stay in a hut during the monsoons (Jataka III 191,5). In Mrcchakatika 5, 42 poor people are compared to an empty house (sunyair grhaih khalu samah purusa daridrah), but the empty house here probably refers to something concrete. In our place in the text here Sil. specifies sunya-grham as: sabha nama grama-nagaradinam tad-vasilokasthayikartham agantuka-sayanartham ca kudyddy-akrtih kriyate (278b11 on sutra 68). For the presence of spirits in an empty house see Campbell 1898, p. 111 and Negelein 1931, p. 261. Addition to fn. 123, p. 135: Schubring takes hima-vae as hima-vate and translates it as "cold breeze". This is not certain because Pali has both hima-pata and -vata. Jacobi 1884, p. 83 renders this as 'cold rain'. Addition to fn. 127, p. 136: For the idea that the sight of a monk forebodes ill luck see Haribhadra's Samaraiccakaha 268, 11. The first encounter with a monk is inauspicious in Germany too (see H. Bachtold-Staubli and E. Hoffmann-Krayer, Handworterbuch des deutschen Aberglaubens I, Berlin/Leipzig: W. de Gruyter Verlag, 1927/1987, p. 424, note 155). For the attack on Mahavira see also Balbir 1993, pp. 139f. (AvN 485) with references to Verclas 1978. Page #277 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 258 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring Addition to fn. 136, p. 137: Read ra'-ovara(y)e, as required by the metre and confirmed in Utt. 15, 2; or: ra'-udeg, for which cf., for example, Dighanikaya 15, 5: eka-bhattiko samano Gotamo ratt'-uparato (commented upon in Buddhaghosa's Sumangalavilasini 77, 16 as: ratti-bhojanam ratti; tato uparato ti ratt'-uparato). For the ban on eating after sunset see Balbir 1987-88 and Dundas 2002, p. 159, with further literature. Another possible interpretation of the compound, because the first member is read differently, is given by Devendra 215a 3 for Uttar. 15, 2 raovarayam carejja, viz., ragovarayam ti uparata-rago yatha bhavati. However, there are no parallels in Pali or Skt dictionaries. But if raovaraya is taken as an adjective the meaning 'unimpassioned' would fit in well with a-padinne (WB).) Appendix 4 Addition to fn. 10, p. 140: The last d-pada need not be a quotation because of the change of subject. Such changes are characteristic of Prakrit, see Jacobi 1886, p. 29. Jacobi 1895, p. 236 translates the stanza in question so: "Some men, Sramanas and Brahmanas, who ignore and deny these true words, adhere (to their own tenets), and are given to pleasures." The latter are discussed in Jayatilleke 1963, p. 67 who quotes Jacobi and refers to Dighanikaya III 130, 23f. According to this text heterodox wanderers might say that the disciples of the Sakya (Buddha) live in luxury. Addition to fn. 30, p. 142: It is not necessary to see the heretics here as the Nigganthas because the first line is an awkward combination of two cliche-like and somehow pleonastic padas. Therefore one should not attach too much importance to it. Sil. had problems with the word pdsattha for which he gives two explanations: parivastha or pasastha. In Amg. however, it means 'heterodox'. See Bollee 1977, pp. 86f. (read "weiterhin" for "sehr" in Bollee's translation here). Addition to fn. 36, p. 143: In his translation Jacobi (1895, p. 241) leaves out ege and makes the heterodox who are speaking here attack all brahmins. Since ege and savve cannot both be subjects of vae, savve is perhaps a neuter accusative as in 1, 1, 1, 12 ('some... assert to be omniscient') or else an anacoluthon due to affect. A scribal error, savve for savvam, is also possible. Norman 1996, p. 179 thinks savvam was the original reading which was intentionally corrupted later by someone who thought that the verse ought to mean that all ascetics say they have knowledge. Addition to fn. 45, p. 144: Schubring's arrangement of the padas here is possible, but not necessary. See Bollee 1977, p. 96. The verses 21f. are quoted in Vidyabhusana 1921, p. 162. Instead of Schubring's 'truly a righteous one', ayam anju hi in 21b (as read by Jacobi as well), apparently following Sil., Bollee 1977, p. 98 reads aimanjuhi and translates it as 'by their over-beautiful speculations'. Footnote 52, p. 145: Though the connection of the verses in the canonical works is often loose, here Schubring inserts 1, 1, 3, 1 as an example of stanza 29, without any explanation. The contents may justify such an insertion, which nevertheless seems unnecessary. Page #278 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) Addition to fn. 59, p. 146: The word utta here in 3, 5 corresponds to Skt kipta as is shown also in Dighanikaya III 28, 12f.: ege... Issarakuttam Brahma-kuttam... aggannam pannapenti, 'Some declare the beginning of things to be the work of a creator god, of Brahma ...' For this and the next stanza see Gombrich 1975; Bhattacharyya 1971, pp. 75f.; Dasgupta 1922 (Vol. 1), pp. 203 ff. 259 Addition to fn. 62, p. 146: Stanza 3, 7 seems, rather, to be an explanatory extension of the text. On the one hand, it supplies a useful hint for the meaning of the text, on the other, it figures as a logical connection that is not expressed in the lapidary Suy. stanza, namely, between the creator of the world and the combined cause of the end of the world. On the relation between Brahman and Maya see, e.g., Bhattacharyya 1971, pp. 70ff. and 85ff. Footnote 65, p. 146: The word amanunna translated here in 3, 10 as "unfair" in fact means 'unpleasant'. This is also the meaning of the equivalents in Skt and Pali. What is meant here is that suffering arises after coming in contact with something unpleasant. This is clear from Samyuttanikaya 1 421, 22: appiyehi sampayogo dukkho, piyehi vippayogo dukkho. Addition to fn. 66, p. 146: Schubring's rendering here of 3, 11 can hardly be read as heterodox, whereas the commentators characterize this doctrine as that of the Terasiyas (Trairasikas) which Jacobi (1895, p. 245) adopts ("they admit a third state besides those of the bound and of the liberated"). Jayatilleke 1963, pp. 156ff. refers to Dighanikaya I 19 and argues that the mere mention of the doctrine of the Trairasikas in the earliest Buddhist and Jaina texts makes "it highly probable that it was at least earlier than the Jain schema" (italics in the original). His translation (p. 158) of our stanza 3, 11 is: 'It is said by some that the soul is pure and sinless, but again it sins (avarajjhai) in that state owing to kidda-padosa (pleasure and hatred? corruption through pleasure?); born here, he later (paccha) becomes. sinless as a restrained ascetic. As pure water free from pollution becomes again polluted (so does he again become sinful)'. Jayatilleke adds: "This stanza appears to summarize in fact what was stated in the Pali version" overlooked by Basham (1951, p. 259) who "thought that this doctrine was not so important for the early Ajivika. But unless it was one of the cardinal doctrines both the Jains as well as the Buddhists would not have stated it in summarizing their views" (Jayatilleke, pp. 158-159). In Bollee 1977, p. 114, note 38 at the end read Jinabhadra for Hemacandra. Addition to fn. 67, p. 146: The advantage of Schubring's rearrangement (12b before 12a) is minimal because there is no connection to 13a which follows. Moreover, the doctrine discussed here does not correspond to that of the Terasiyas nor to its refutation by the Jainas. Perhaps the Curni is right in doubting the authenticity of the stanza. See also Jacobi 1895, p. 245, note 2 and Jayatilleke 1963, pp. 155 and 159. The reference to "clear water" (viyad'-ambu) means 'boiled water', i.e., lifeless water. Just as with dust the Jainas regard unboiled water as being animate, see Schubring 1935/2000, SS 105. Addition to fn. 70, p.147: A definition of "perfected" (siddha) is given by Mahias 1985, p. 253; cf. Ohira 1975, pp. 17-21. For "here in the Page #279 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 260 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 4 world" cf. Dhammapada-atthakatha III 200, 4: imasmim loke "mayam hi arahanta, mayam arahanta" ti vattaro bahu. Footnote 77, p. 147: With "in the midst of them)" Schubring may mean here 'at an equal distance from arrogance and approach'. Jacobi 1895, p. 246 translates: 'equally removed (from love and hate)'. Addition to fn. 81, p 148: Here in the stanza 4, 4 Schubring may have overlooked the point in Ayar. 41, 19(1,9, 1, 19) and Utt. 27, 10 that in fact objective deprecation by others, and not subjective deprecation of others, is meant here. Addition to fn. 82, p. 149: The printed Curni, as against Schubring's MS, reads nisametta --- janitta -ya na saddahejja, which shows a difference between the Suy. text and the pathabheda. That is why Bollee 1977, p. 122 translates: 'he should consider the views ... of others with care'. Addition to fn. 86, p. 148: In the discussion on this line 4, 8 in Bollee 1977, p. 126 delete the sentence in lines 9-13 and note 20. Addition to fn. 89, p. 148: See Caillat 1991, p. 83 where a relation with vusie is not taken into consideration. In this line 4, 11 the word for the rules referred to here is ayana. See Schubring's remark on it in Suy. II 2, 44 above (p. 60, fn. 63). Addition to fn. 90, p. 148: This stanza 4, 12 refers to passions that have to be eliminated. For the series of passions see Schubring 1935, $ 168. For "liberation" (amokkhae) in the last stanza 13 of this section see Alsdorf 1935-37, p. 329 and Bollee 1977, p. 130. Norman 1996, p. 176 remarks that this verse should rather be called a giti, not an arya. Footnote 2, p. 149: The point here about the transitoriness of all living beings is expounded particularly in Hemacandra's (eleventhtwelfth centuries CE) Trisastisalakapurusacaritra 2, 6, 47ff., especially 90ff. (tr. H. M. Johnson: The Deeds of the Sixty-three Illustrious Persons II, Baroda 1937, pp. 179 and 182. See also Blau 1893 under Verganglichkeit for the relevant subhasitas in Bohtlingk's Indische Spruche. Ghatage 2000 compares Suttanipata 578 in this context. Addition to fn. 15, p. 150: The word sahie, translated as prudent one" here is discussed in Bollee 1988, pp. 37ff. Bollee takes Schubring's German rendering "fertig' to mean 'accomplished' (translated here as "ready") and takes sahie to represent Skt sva-hita. Page #280 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 261 Addition to fn. 16, p. 150: It is noteworthy that the compiler of the Curni characterizes vegetarianism as a secondary and later article of faith taught by other Tirthamkaras and by Mahavira: anudharmo anu pascad-bhave yathanyais tirthakarais tatha vardhamaneapi munina praveditam (Curni 72, 6). Addition to fn. 17, p. 150: For the simile of the bird shaking itself to remove the dust or sand (pamsu), cf. also Samyuttanikaya I 197, 19ff: 'just as a bird sand-flecked, shaking itself throws off the dust adhering (to its plumes), so the good brother, heedful, strenuous, shaking himself, throws off the adhering dust' (tr. Rhys Davids). The text runs: sakuno yatha pamsu-kundito / vidhunam patayati sitam rajam/evam bhikkhu padhanava satima / vidhunam .... Footnote 21, p. 151: For "look at us ..." the canonical text reads: posahi! na posao tumam, 'support (us)! (IP) you do not support (us) .... Both Jacobi and Schubring follow the commentarial tradition with forms of pasai (Bollee 1988, p. 42), but Schubring perhaps changed his mind because he wrote he wrote posahi in the margin of his personal copy. Addition to fn. 26, p. 151: Should one read te-vi(d)a instead of jevidu? Cf. also Pali te-vijja(ka). For the simile about the snake skin in Pali see Rhys Davids 1906-7, pp. 71 and 80 and, further, Bollee 1988, p. 46, note 3. Addition to fn. 36, p. :152 Schubring may have changed his view concerning niyam when he wrote nijam in the margin of his personal copy. Originally nija, e.g., in Atharvaveda 3, 5, 2 meant 'permanent' and later 'own' (Bohtlingk). In Pali too the old meaning is found, e.g., in Suttanipata 810 which soon afterwards, ibid. 149, became obsolete. Addition to fn. 38, p. 152: On paligoha see Edgerton 1970, s.v. paligodha, which is also to be referred to in Geiger 1994, SS 10. Addition to fn. 42, p. 153: Both Jacobi and Schubring render the rare word caraga as 'insect', following the Curni and the sika. Elsewhere, however, it occurs as a non-Jain wanderer, e.g., in the Curni on Nandi 10 para-titthiya is explained as hariharahiranna-sakkoluka-caraga-tavaso. Cf. the sika on BkBh 1548 and 700, and for the Pali see Bollee 1981, p. 190. Addition to fn. 44, p. 153: The meaning of the word uvaniyatarassa required and translated here as "well-cultivated" is not attested anywhere else. This is why Bollee 1988, p. 61 suggests the reading uvaniyacarassa or-yarassa: 'he who seeks alms (only) nearby and retires directly', as in Aupapatika 30, III in a list of monks with various practices for their almsround ( 34 in the 1987 Ladnun ed.). The reference to Suttanipata 810 by Ghatage 200, p. 232 does not seem to be a close parallel here. For taino, "renouncing", the commentators equate it to Skt trayin and Schubring 1932, p. 122 adopted this Page #281 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 262 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 4 as the etymology with reference to Dasav. 3, 1. The correct etymon, however, is tadrs, as is proved by Utt. 23, 10: gunavantana tainam, and Petavatthu 28: gunavantesu tadisu (Bollee 1988, p. 61). Further, a nearly exact parallel to the reading tassa tam (supplied in the text at the end of the stanza) is Suttanipata 810. Addition to fn. 48, p. 154: Rude language is also castigated in Ayar. 2, 4, 1, 6ff., and especially towards one's teacher in 1, 6, 4, 1. For similar rules with Buddhists see Caillat 1984, pp. 64ff. Addition to fn. 52, p. 154: If the reading of the word kujaya '(one) whose victory or success deserves to be censured, i.e., a gambler (Ratnachandra) is correct, it may be a hapax legomenon, without equivalents in Pali and Skt which use the word kitava, "gamester, gambler, cheat'; this cannot easily become kujaya. Jacobi 1895, p. 256 translates: As a clever gambler, playing at dice, is not vanquished ...': In Schubring's rendering the necessary sense of 'cleverness or cunning' is missing. On the profane game of dice see Falk 1986, pp. 175ff. Addition to fn. 60, p. 155: Schubring later retracted this conjecture by writing "no!" in the margin of his personal copy. In his book Lehre... 1935, p. 159, note 3 (2000, p. 251, note 1) Schubring etymologically derives raino from rayani, "night', in the sense of 'date', cf. Schubring 1966, pp. 72ff. See also Bollee 1998, p. 194. Addition to fn. 67, p. 156: Jacobi 1895, p. 259 and Bollee 1988, p. 74 take tarune as referring to jiviyam 'life lasts a hundred years'. Cf. also Suttanipata 804 and Mahabharata 13, 105, 39. Addition to fn. 70, p. 156: Aya-danda is the Amg. equivalent of Skt atta-danda, Pali atta-do and adinna-d', meaning: 'who has seized the stick, violent' (Critical Pali Dictionary; Bollee 1988, pp. 74f.). Atta-danda is not in Monier-Williams, albeit in Apte's dictionary, meaning 'assuming the royal sceptre'. As against Schubring's reading asuriyam Jacobi, followed by Bollee 1988, p. 76, reads asuriya, translating it as 'to the abode of the Asuras'. Addition to fn. 75, p. 157: Schubring does not explain the more correct reading sarvatra vinita-macchare. In Sanskrit vinita can mean 'without'. Cf. also Pali vita-macchara, Suttanipata 954. Addition to fn. 77, p. 157: In the footnote here Schubring says "C and Sil. supply param'ayatarthika, whereby explains ayata as drdhagraha and Sil. as moksa." Bollee 1988, p. 57 thinks that this is improbable in view of Dasav. 9, 4, 4 and 10: ayay'-arthiya and 5, 2, 34: ayay'-atthin, which Schubring 1932, pp. 114f. and 96 rendered as 'thoroughly devoted', 'seeker for self(-realisation]' and 'zealous' (Bollee 1988, p. 79). Page #282 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 263 Footnote 80, p. 157: The word used for such people 'passing through life' is hindanti. In this context the commentator Silanka compares samsara with a noria, for which see Bollee 1977, p. 113 and 1988, p. 279. Addition to fn. 84, p. 157: Schubring reads -adesad instead of aesa, apparently misled to this assumption by the Curni. The word aesa is the future participle of ayai, Skt ayati. See Bollee 1988, p. 82. Footnote 1 p. 159: For the term "pious ones", dadha-dhammanam, the Curni (100, 4) has: drdham dhanur yasya sa bhavati drdhadhanva, tam. Cf. Ramayana 1, 39, 6: drdha-dhanva maha-rathah, 'with a strong bow (and) a big chariot'. The story of Sisupala is told in Mahabharata 2, 37ff. from which the scholiasts describe details in a kathanaka, Bollee 1988, pp. 86f. Addition to fn. 6, p. 159: For the rest of this sentence beginning with "so the people say ..." Jacobi 1895, p. 262 and Bollee 1988, p. 89 have a quite different version. As in Pali, pudhojana means praksta-purusa an-arya-kalpa, namely, 'ordinary people' (silanka I 82al). Addition to fn. 7. p. 159: Mahavira was himself tormented by furious dogs, as recounted in Ayar. 1, 9, 3, 3f. This led to many warnings in the texts, e.g., Dasav. 5, 1, 12; Ohanijjutti 424. Sce Mette 1974, p. 58. Footnote 8, p. 160: Schubring originally followed Siland read padibhasanti. The scholiasts apparently did not know the meaning 'to revile, blame for paribhasanti, as read by Jacobi and Bollee. Addition to fn. 14, p. 160: Jacobi 1895, p. 262 (and Bollee 1988, p. 93) follows Sil. and translates the second line of this stanza 12 as: 'I have not seen the next world, all may end with death'. The c-pada also occurs in Utt. 5,5c; for the d-pada Jacobi ibid., note 2, refers to 1, 3, 3, 6d further below in the text, which Schubring, however, ignored. Addition to fn. 15, p. 160: The translation "net" in "like fish caught in a net" does not seem definite; it could also be a fish-hook or a weir basket. In Curni 104, 10f. one reads: keyanam nama kadavalla-samthitam, maccha panie padiniyatte uttarijjanti ity arthah, khuddam adi; Sil. 82b 8 (1917 ed.) explains keyana as matsya-bandhane pravista nirgatika santo jivitad bhrasyanti (for matsya-bandhana Monier-Williams gives 'fish-hook'). Passages dealing with catching fish, e.g., Nisihacurni II 9, 8 and 281, 151., do not mention keyana. The reason for the "[required) hair-plucking" is not given in the ancient texts, although one would have expected it in the case of Mahavira and Buddha. The practice was taken over from the brahmin snataka whose Page #283 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 264 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 4 hair (and nails) are called papman. These dangerous parings are covered with cow-dung and buried (Hiranyakesin's Grhyasutra 1,9,18). The snataka's heavenly example was Prajapati. The papman on his head, as a ritual impurity, prevented his activity as a fellow creator, until Brahman hit it off (Bollee 1977, p. 374). See, further, e.g., Hershman 1984, pp. 283ff., Hiltebeitel 1981, and Dange 1986, pp. 174ff. (vol. 1). Addition to fn. 16, p. 160: Schubring's rendering of this stanza 14 here greatly differs from that of Jacobi (and Bollee). Jacobi 1895, p. 263 has: 'Some low people who lead a life of iniquity, and entertain heretical opinions, being subject to love and hatred, injure a monk.' Addition to fn. 17, p. 160: For the (palm of the) hand" cf. Utt. 12, 18. The word phala here perhaps belongs to phalaka, plank'. See Mayrhofer 1996, p. 202. Addition to fn. 26, p. 162: The word which Schubring renders as "worldliness", a-samahie, in stanza 10 here Jacobi 1895, p. 264 renders as 'that he should leave off control', and Bollee 1988, p. 103 as 'stop him from meditating'. Addition to fn. 29, p. 162: The exaggerated form of address: "Elephants, horses ..." agrees with the excessive presents. Cf. the simple title and puja in 2, 1, 18. This probably reflects actual events in ancient times. For the devaluation of titles cf. isi < rsi, Pali brahmana (Majjhimanikaya II 104, 13 for an ordinary bhikkhu who was formerly a dacoit), and Burmese yahan < arahant (in Pali) for the simple ordinated monk. The word which Schubring renders in this stanza 16 here as "ships", janehim, Jacobi 1895, p. 265 renders as 'cars', and Bollee 1988, p. 105 as 'means of transport'. The latter refers to Curni 109, 13f.: janani siyasandamanigadini and Aup. 38 and thinks here rather of palanquins than ships, though jana can mean both. Addition to fn. 31, p. 162: To bring stanza 22 into play here in stanza 20 as Schubring does, does not seem compulsory, all the more because the whole stanza 20 seems to be merely joined together, the band c padas being cliches. Addition to fn. 32, p. 162: The word va which Schubring thinks is irrelevant here in stanza 21 may stand for eva, 'only'. The chiastic order of the words may be taken into account by translating 'not only, but even'. See Bollee 1988, p. 108. Addition to fn. 43, p. 164: Neither Jacobi 1895, p. 266 with his rendering: 'But these revilers are far off from perfection', nor Schubring here called into play antae te samahie from 1, 11, 25d which refers to fools thinking themselves wise. See Bollee 1988, p. 116. Page #284 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 265 Addition to fn. 46, p. 164: For the twofold way here Schubring mentions manasa and vayasa and refers to stanza 1, 3, 1. There, however, he refers dupakkham to manas and kaena. See, further, Bollee 1977, pp. 106 and 141. Addition to fn. 47, p. 164: Line 12cd which Schubring connected with 13ab cannot be original and can hardly be construed in the context: it does not make much sense and looks like an adaptation of 1, 11, 26, which is a part of a comparison between a good and a bad monk. Further, Schubring made many additions which he regarded as missing. Jacobi 1895, p. 267 tried to overcome the problem by a free translation. See also Basham 1951, p. 121. Addition to fn. 48, p. 164: Most editions read ujjhiya. See Bollee 1988, pp. 119 and 93. Jacobi 1895, p. 267, in note 4 thought the sense to be that the overdoing of the principle of poverty is just as harmful as the scratching of a wound'. Footnote 51, p. 165: As Curni 118, 3f. explains the Tankana were a non-Aryan mountain tribe which attacked a large horse or elephant army by means of hit and run tactics. In case of a counter attack they fled back to the Himalaya foothills. Addition to fn. 54, p. 165: Traditions of the kind mentioned here about drinking water show the slow development of dietary rules in Jainism. In Avasyakacurni II 207, 12ff. a story is related of Nami, the raja of Mithila, who retired from this world after noticing that a single bracelet (valaya) does not make a sound, but only when there are several of them. Schubring does not explain the form Devita which in Skt and Pali occurs as Daivala or Devala. In Isibhasiyaim 3 the form Davila appears. For the great men mentioned in stanzas 2 and 3 here see Bollee 1988, pp. 125f. Addition to fn. 57, p. 166: In the text of the verses in stanzas 6 and 7 something was either lost or mixed up. This may be the case because the content of the second line of stanza 6 does not fit in and, moreover, is an anacoluthon. The beginning itself may be corrupt. Bollee 1988, p. 129 therefore connects bab with 7cd and 6cd with 7ab. Schubring, however, does not do that. For the Rayapasenaijja (Rayapasenaiya) parable mentioned here see Bollee 2002, SS 774. Addition to fn. 61, p. 166: For the word vinnavana cf. 1, 2, 3, 2 which Schubring rendered as "desire" (p. 155 above), which is also meant here, instead of just "understanding woman". Addition to fn. 1, p. 169: In 1, 4, 1, 2 Bollee 1988, p. 144 reads: 'mit klaren Worten' ('in clear words') instead of 'mit unauffalligen Schritten', (with "stealthy steps"), as Schubring does. The general belief of Indian women that sons begot from Page #285 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 266 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring --- Appendix 4 monks are particularly clever, strong, etc., (Ayar. 2, 2, 1, 12) not only led to seduction (e.g., of the rsi Uttarka in Mahabharata 13, 89; with the Buddhists: Vinaya III 134, 14ff.), but also, in times of monastic decadence, to the inscription of 1163 on a monk's grave that he became the dearest to the hearts of celestial women' (Epigraphia Carnatica II 63). See also Fischer 1979, p. 67. Addition to fn. 3, p. 169: In Indian dance the karkata-hasta gesture may express longing (Fischer 1979, pp. 16, 220f., 226, 241). For women showing their bahu-mula in sisupalavadha see Sivaramamurti 1970, p. 36 and plates IX 29, and X 31. For the armpit as a shifted pubic region, see Bollee 1983, p. 265. A Nepali statue shows the Boddhisattva being born from Maya's armpit (ibid., note 348). What Schubring translates as "drawn to the shoulder" at the end of stanza 3 here, Jacobi 1895, p. 272 renders as 'so that he will follow them about'. Alsdorf 1958, p. 262 thinks that a satisfactory solution is impossible. Bollee 1988, p. 145 proposes reading anuvii. Addition to fn. 5, p. 169: Bollee 1988, p. 149 takes the etymon of uvagas to be upakarsati, 'to draw near to one's self (Monier-Wiliams) and refers to stanza 20 further below. For bhinna-kaha, obscene language', see Bollee 1997, pp. 64. Addition to fn. 8, p. 170: Alsdorf 1958, p. 259 translates this section of stanza 10 here as: 'Therefore having taken to loneliness, domestic intercourse is not proper for the monk (?)' and on p. 263 refers to Theragatha 27 and 233. Addition to fn. 10, p. 170: For the vi in what follows this in stanza 11, which Schubring renders as "despite that good quality)", Alsdorf 1958, p. 259 translates as 'too'. However, in the preceding verses 'others are not mentioned. Addition to fn. 12, p. 170: Alsdorf 1958, p. 259 translates this part of stanza 12 as: 'Those who are greedy of this kind of) alms, they are but a counterpart (lit.: one of the two kinds of) the kusilas', and Bollee 1988, p. 151 as: 'One who is that keen on alms certainly belongs to the bad monks'. Addition to fn. 16, p. 170: According to Jacobi 1895, p. 273 the whole of this stanza 16 belongs to the speaker of the text. Alsdorf 1958, pp. 259 and 265 ascribes the first line here to ege, 'some', of stanza 15 and the second line to the redactor, because he considers Schubring's version to be artificial. Further, Alsdorf refers to Utt. 16, 3 for the meaning 'common seat' instead of Schubring's 'lodging'. For similar rules with the Buddhists see, e.g., Vinaya III 180, 14 (ekasane), etc. Not physical contact may be the issue here, but the exchange of evil and merit (Abbott 1932, p. 15). For women stealing a man's merit see O'Flaherty 1980, p. 32 and cf. p. 56. Addition to fn. 17, p. 170: Jacobi 1895, p. 273 translates this part of stanza 17 as: 'Though many leave the house, some (of them) arrive at Page #286 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 267 but a middling position (between householder and monk)', similarly Bollee 1988, p. 155; Alsdorf 1958, p. 259, with a question mark: 'Many go (?) into houses (and) some take to sexual intercourse'. Addition to fn. 18, p. 171: Jacobi 1895, p. 274 translates this part of stanza 19 as: 'Though he is admonished not to act as most men do'; Alsdorf 1958, p. 259: 'consider the striveda'; Bollee 1988, p. 158: 'remember the holy tradition/doctrine'. Addition to fn. 19, p. 171: As against the scholiasts Jacobi and Schubring, Alsdorf 1958, p. 266 may be right in stressing that the subject of stanzas 21-24 here are women, though his argument that the traditional disfigurement does not pertain to men is incorrect as proved by Suy. 2,2, 63 and in the Pali Majjhimanikaya I 87, 8 (men who: para-daram gacchanti). Addition to fn. 21 p. 171: The word annam which Schubring in stanza 24 translates as: "The one (woman)", Norman 1990, p. 31 takes as a neuter word and Bollee 1988, p. 161 follows him. Addition to fn. 23, p. 171: The "varnished crockery" referred to in stanzas 26 and 27 here are made even today in Bikaner and Jaipur (Mehta 1960, chapter 13). In Mahabharata 12, 287, 7 lac is associated with 'ignorant'. Addition to fn. 25, p. 172: Alsdorf 1958, pp. 266f. rejects Schubring's equating putha to sprstah instead of prstah, 'questioned about it'. There is a great deal of talk in the stanzas here about women misleading monks. In Pali women are associated with fire in Anguttaranikaya IV 128 and Jataka V 450, 23' (stanza 55). The same in Kathasaritsagara 36, 87. The comparison of women to fire can also be positive, as in Mahabharata I 189, 10, where a woman is described as being 'splendid like fire' (pavaka-prabha). Addition to fn. 28, p. 172: Jacobi 1895, p. 275 translates this last part of stanza 29 as: 'he falls again'; Alsdorf 1958, p. 260 with a question mark: 'seeks impurity (?)'. Bollee 1988, p. 164 refers to 1,3,4, 18 and renders this as: 'he is in for something unpleasant Addition to fn. 29, p. 172: For the word nimantanena here in stanza 30 which Schubring translates as "direct an invitation", Alsdorf 1958, p. 260 freely renders as: 'by way of offering themselves to him'. Addition to fn. 33, p. 172: As against Schubring's palibhindiyanam = paribhidya ("scratch"), Alsdorf 1958, p. 267 sees it as prati plus the root bhid, meaning to reproach' (Monier-Williams), and on p. 260 translates this section so: '(the woman) afterwards scolds (him) and lifting her foot kicks his head'; similarly Bollee 1988, p. 166. Cf. also Avassayacunni 566, 13f. For a picture of such a grave offence see Archer 1953, p. 70. Page #287 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 268 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring Footnote 35, p. 172: The word cheya/cheda (which Schubring translates as"awl") could mean 'want' (Monier-Williams), e.g., kasthacheda, 'lack of wood' (Kathasaritsagara) 6, 46. Thus, this part of stanza 4 here could mean: 'Look! we do not have any gourds'. See also Bollee 1988, p. 167. For gourds as vegetables see Prakash 1961, pp. 73 (note 3) and 164. Appendix 4 Addition to fn. 36, p. 173: Whereas Schubring rejects Sil.'s suggestion of 'barber' here, Alsdorf 1958, p. 261/268 does not doubt that the woman wants the monk to get her a barber. Perhaps even a woman hairdresser is meant as in Somadeva's Yasastilaka 2, 218 (Handiqui 1949, p. 302) and Avassayacunni (the page number 384 mentioned in Jain 1981, p. 5 note 5 is wrong). Royal courts did have female hairdressers (Auboyer 1961, p. 344). The expression "check my clothes" (padilehi) at the beginning of 6 here, as in Hemacandra's Parisistaparvan 1,248f., usually means 'to check one's clothes for insects in the morning'. Here it is probably used in the sense of cleaning, an inferior activity for lay-persons doing it for others, all the more for a monk, as the text stresses again in stanza 17 further below. Addition to fn. 37, p. 173: The words kukkuyayam and venu-palasiyam here are unknown words. Alsdorf 1958, p. 268 may be right in doubting that a musical instrument is meant here. For various speculations on this see Bollee 1988, p. 170. Instead of "collyrium", more correctly 'collyrium pot', as in Pali. Accordingly to be corrected in Alsdorf 1958, p. 261 and Bollee 1988, p. 170. Addition to fn. 38, p. 173: With regard to the word venu-palasiya one thinks of palasaga in Vavahara 2, 27 where it is a vessel which monks are allowed to use. In Apastambha Srautasutra XV 5, 11 palasa and bamboos are mentioned as fire wood. See also Bollee 1988, p. 171. Addition to fn. 39, p. 173: The "mouth pill" is perhaps a cachou lozenge to sweeten the breath, cf. Vasudevahimdi 218, 20: kaya gulikao, jao tam gandham uvahananti jao ya kuvalaya-sugandham vayanam kunanti. See, further, Bollee 1988, p. 171. The costus root is the panacea Radix Saussureae (visva-bhasaja in Atharvaveda 19, 39, 5). See further S. K. Jain 1991,, p. 61, s.v. costus speciosus and, with thanks to Professor M. Haase, http://www.biozac.de/biozac/ capvil/cvceostus.htm. The tagara powder is from Tabernaemontana coronaria, the wood and latex of which is used for making perfume and incense (Moti Chandra 1973, pp. 192, 206ff., 224). The "aloe wood" is Aquilaria Agallocha Roxb., the ground resin of which is used in making incense (ibid. pp. 192, 197, etc.). See also Yule/Burnell: Hobson-Jobson, under eagle-wood. The "pulverised root of Andropogon (grass)" is what yields the vetiver oil which smells like sandal wood (Macmillan 1949, p. 384). For the "oil to rub in to the face" see Moti Chandra 1973, pp. 206 and 222. Also ibid. for various fashionable Page #288 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 269 items, such "hair-band" (between pp. 224 and 225) in stanza 11 further below, and Joshi 1967, pp. 172ff. For "mirror" in stanza 11 see Bollee 1988, p. 175, to which add Zachariae 1977, pp. 585ff. The "powder for the lips" is 'lip-salve' (J. C. Jain 1984, p. 138), similarly Alsdorf 1958, p. 261. This translation is based on the commentary. Perhaps it is short for nandi-mukhali, an inferior kind of rice or grain (Prakash 1961, pp. 135 and 170.). In Pali cunna can mean 'bath-powder', and the aromatic grass called nadi is recommended in Agnipurana 224,27 (1957 Poona ed.) with other ingredients for the oil used by a king before his bath. The word for "soup" is suva which the scholiasts explain as patra-sakam because supa=dal, which does not need to be cut. Alsdorf 1958, p. 269 wonders whether suka, as in Pali as well, could be 'barley, kind of grass, etc.?' However, this is not 'vegetable leaves' as Alsdorf translates it on p. 261. Prakash 1961 does not have the term. Could it be that *sava Page #289 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring Appendix 4 as a noun it means 'fluid'. Bollee 1988, p. 175 therefore translates it as 'caustic acid' which was made by burning dry sesame plants (Vasudevahimdi I 32, 28). 270 Addition to fn. 48, p. 173: For "respected one" here in stanza 13 Schubring wrote 'my dear' in the margin of his personal copy. In the Pali canon pious lay people never address monks as avuso. For "dig a latrine" it may be noted that neither Svetambara monks (Dasav. 10, 2) nor Buddhist monks (Vinaya IV 33, 4) are permitted to dig the earth. What Schubring explicitly translates as "trumpet" was not accepted by Alsdorf and Bollee who take the word to be indeed a 'bow'. For bows and arrows as toys see, e.g., Vinaya III 180, 27, Dighanikaya 17, 1 and Sivaramamurti 1956, p. 143. As suggested by Alsdorf 1958, p. 269, lines 13cd and 14 ab do not fit in here. Bollee 1988, p. 178 therefore connects 13ab with 12, takes 13cd and 14ab together, and 14cd with 15. Addition to fn. 49, p. 173: For go-rahaga Alsdorf 1958, pp. 269f. refers to the existence of ox-carts as toys in Mohenjo Daro. See also Dongerkery 1954 (chapters II and IV, especially pp. 40f.) and Sharma 1971/1976, p. 25. Schubring apparently did not think of Sudraka's Mrc-chakatika. Alsdorf ibid. considers it possible that here the word samanera is used 'jokingly' for a 'Buddhist novice', as do Jacobi 1895, p. 277 and Bollee 1988, p. 178. Addition to fn. 50, p. 173: Schubring's translation "the clock-work with the drum" is incomprehensible without an explanation. Jacobi 1895, p. 277 translates it as a 'small pot' and Alsdorf 1958, p. 261 as a 'small bucket'. The Sanskrit etymon ghatika means 'water jar' (Monier-Williams) with a neck and thus excludes the meaning 'bucket'. Together with the word samanera we may consider the Pali word ghatika which can mean a stick as used in the tipcat game (Samantapaadika 621, 7f. on Vinaya III 180, 24, here ghatika is masculine) and a small alms-bowl (Pali-English Dictionary). The words are probably homonyms. Addition to fn. 51, p. 174: The word "chair" here could refer to the easy seat permitted to Buddhist monks (Vinaya II 149, 24), perhaps as depicted in Mathura (see Auboyer 1949, p. 25) and Nagarjunikonda (Gobier 1976, plate 55, 1). For "walking" Silanka's scholion is maunje kastha-paduke va which Alsdorf 1958, p. 270 (as against Jacobi and Schubring) thinks of munja-paduka, 'slippers made of munja grass'. Buddhist monks are forbidden to wear them (Vinaya I 190, 3ff.). Silanka stresses that they are meant for wandering and not for walking. Schubring's translation of the second line of this stanza 15: "for the sake of the pregnant woman's desire for a son" is ambiguous and in English could also mean: 'for the sake of the desire of a pregnant woman's son'. According to Silanka, whom Schubring follows, the son's desires are meant. Alsdorf 1958, p. 261, however, translates: 'the cravings of the pregnant woman (in order to obtain) a son', and Jacobi 1895, pp. 277f.: 'Pregnant women order their husbands about like slaves to fulfil their craving'. Bollee 1988, p. 180 follows the tradition and renders this as 'sons' desires'. Page #290 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Additions to Footnotes (supplied by W. Bollee) 271 Addition to fn. 52, p. 174: For this probably oldest lullaby in Indian literature see Bollee 1988, pp. 182f., and cf. Harivamsa Purana 85, 7. The name Ayamuha which Schubring gives in the footnote here also occurs in Samaraiccakaha 431, 17(ed. Jacobi) and may be the place called Daundiakhera on the Ganges (in Cunningham 1871 it appears as [H]ayamukha), 'about 104 miles north-east of Allahabad' (Beal 1884, p. 229). This chapter is the oldest detailed description of the relaxation of the monastic discipline which , also in medieval time, had strange effects. Thus, in 1294 a congress of leading monks decided to expel acaryas, etc., who installed their sons in similar positions in the order, but apparently were not expelled themselves! This is recorded in an inscription in Satrunjaya (Shah 1955, p. 103.) Addition to fn. 1. p. 175: Those who uphold "[b.) the denial of the deed", the Curni specifies as those who proclaim four or five basic elements, the five elements of personal existence, Sunyavadins, Lokayatas, etc. For those of "[c.) thirdly, the pious life-style", the Curni reads vinayam for viniyam and explains these ascetics as heterodox because of their respiration (practice): venaiya anama-panamadiya ku-sanda. Those who hold "[d.] fourthly, what they call agnosticism (as such]", the Curni specifies as forest dwellers who eat flowers and fruits like animals (miga-cariyadiyo adavie puppha-phala-bhakkhino a-cca(dji annaniya). In her study of samosarana, the assembly, Balbir 1994, pp. 67ff. does not examine the reference to it here in our place. Addition to fn. 4, p. 175: The line 4a here Jacobi 1895, p. 316 renders as: 'this object (viz. Moksha) is realised by us thus (viz. by Vinaya)'. For "speaks to us" Schubring takes obhasai to be derived from *avabhasate instead of from avabhasate. Addition to fn. 5, p. 175: At 1, 2, 2, 20 Schubring rendered lavavasakki as one "who gets rid of the "atoms" [of the effective deed)" (p. 154 above). The word avasakkin (in lavavasakki) in Skt is derived from apa + svask- +in. In 2, 6, 6 Jacobi 1895, p. 410 translates it as one 'who avoids Karman' Addition to fn. 6, p. 176: Cf. Ayar. 2, 1, 3, 2 where Jacobi 1884, p. 95 translates sammissa-bhava as 'mixed company'. For the onomatopoeic hapax legomenon mummui cf. Pali mammana, 'stammering', and mummura, crackling' Addition to fn. 7, p. 176: Jacobi 1895, p. 316 translates this stanza 5 so: 'They become involved in contradiction in their own assertions; they falter in their speech and are unable to repeat what is said to them. This their opinion) has a valiant counteropinion, this (our opinion) has no valiant counter-opinion; and Karman has six sources'. Vidyabhusana 1921, p. 162, fn. 2 quotes this stanza, without translating it. Largely following the Curni (where the following quotations are given in commenting on stanza 4), Silanka Page #291 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 272 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 4 (215b) has an interesting scholion. First he accuses the Lokayatas of confusing realism (astitva) and nihilism (nastitva): sammisri-bhavam - Astitva-nastitvabhyupagamam te lokayatikadayah kurvanti. He then continues saying that the Buddhists too are confused: bauddha api misri-bhavam evam upagata). This is what he says in making clear the confusion on the part of the Buddhists (note the pun on gants and gati): ganta ca nasti kascid, gatayah sad bauddha-sasane proktah gamyata iti ca gatih syac chrutih, katham sobhana bauddhi (Curni: bahvi) ? || Though (ca) there is no goer six states of existence are taught in the Buddhist doctrine. If (ca) it is tradition that gati is called thus then, because (existence) is a course that is gone, how can the Buddhist doctrine be right? tatha - 'karma (ca) nasti phalam casti ty a-sati catmani karake katham sad-gatayah? Ijnana-santanasyapi santani-vyatirekena samvitimattvat ksanasya ca-sthitatvena kriya-bhavan na nana-gati-sambhavah sarvany api karmany a-bandhanani prarupayanti svagame tatha panca jataka-satani ca buddhasyopadisanti, tatha: Further: 'there is no acting but there is an effect. If thus there is no self that acts, how can there be six states of existence? On account of the Buddhist ability to dissimulate also the continuity of cognizance, through the exclusion of a subject of an uninterrupted train of thought, and because through the transience of the moment there is no acting, there are no various states of existence. In their scriptural tradition they represent without exception (api) all karmas as free. Further, they (the Buddhists) teach 500 birth stories of the Buddha.' And ... [here something seems to be lost.] ('For a plausible sketch of the Buddhist idea of rebirth considered historically see Jayatilleke 1963, pp. 375f.) mata-pitarau hatva buddha-sarire rudhiram utpadya arhad-vadham ca kytva stupam bhittva ca pancaite avici-narakam yanti... Those who kill their mother and father, who cause a bloody wound on the body of a Buddha, who kill (the Curni has 'fight') an arhat or destroy a stupa, go to the Avici hell. -evam adikasyagamasya sarva-sunyatve pranayanam a-yukti-samgatam syat tatha jati-jara-maranaroga -sokottama-madhyamadhamatvani ca na syuh esa eva ca nana-vidha-karma-vipako jivastitvam karttvam karmavattvam cavedayati tatha: When in this way everything is empty in their scripture it (the scripture) may be a writing without conformity to correct principles. Thus, there cannot be parameters of birth, old age, death, illness and sorrow and precisely this maturation of various karmas declares the existence of a soul, its being an actor, and the fact that it effects karma. Further, because it is said (iti bhasanat below): gandharva-nagara-tulya maya-svapnopapata-dhana-sadysah mrga-trsna-niharambu-candrika-lata-cakra-samah II iti bhasanac ca spastam eva misri-bhavapagamanam bauddhanam iti 'They are like a gandharva city, like wealth occurring in a dream which is an illusion, like a circle produced by moonlight in water through fog in a fata morgana,' it is quite evident that the Buddhists suffer from an illusion.

Bollee) 273 yadi va: nana-vidha-karma-vipakabhyupagamat tesam vyatyaya eveti, tatha coktam: Or else: 'their wrong approach to the maturation of different karmas only leads to an inconsistency' and it is said therefore: yadi sunyas tava pakso, mat-paksa-nivarakah katham bhavati?! atha manyase na sunyas tathapi mat-paksa evasau | 'If you lack further arguments (literally: if your argument is void, unreal) what need is there for a defender of my view? When you think you do have further arguments: my view here still stands'. ity adi tad evam bauddhah purvoktaya nitya misri-bhavam upagata nastitvam pratipadayanto 'stitvam eva pratipadayanti In such and such a way, and in the manner already said, the Buddhists are confused and in fact declare realism when they want to declare nihilism. Addition to fn. 8, p. 176: As against Basham 1951, p. 236 who assumed that the Ajivika denial of time was a later development in the school, Jayatilleke 1963, p. 255 ($ 402) associates these stanzas 6-7 with the doctrine of a school of in his translation) 'those Akiriyavadins, who have no understanding, propose diverse (theories) ... the sun does not rise or set, the moon does not wax or wane, rivers do not flow and winds do not blow; the whole world is deemed ... to be unreal'. He then rejects Silanka's opinion, which Jacobi 1894, p. 317 (note 1) inaccurately followed, that here both Carvakas and Buddhists (specified as Sunyavadins by Jacobi) are meant. Cf. Avassayanijjutti 612 and Hemacandra's Trisastisalakapurusacaritra X 5,121 (Vyakta). Addition to fn. 9, p. 176: What Schubring translates here as "calendar" (samvacchara), Jacobi 1894, p. 317 translates as 'astrology'. For this see Jacobi's note on Uttar. 15, 7, ibid. p. 70 (note 2). Addition to fn. 11, p. 176: The word for "advanced" in "those ... advanced to perfection" in this stanza 11 is omitted in Jacobi 1894, p. 317. Further, as against Schubring's "and they call liberation (what is) brought about by knowledge" Jacobi ibid. translates the last part of this stanza so: 'But right knowledge and conduct lead to liberation'. Footnote 12, p. 176:. Jacobi 1894, p. 318 translates this stanza 12 in this way: 'The (Tirthakaras), being (as it were) the eyes of the world and its leaders, teach the path which is salutary to men; they have declared that the world is eternal inasmuch as creatures are (for ever) living in it, Oye men!'. The second part of this stanza is the same as 1, 14, 10b further below in the text (Schubring's translates only till the end of 1, 12). Addition to fn. 13, p. 176: The word which Schubring translates as "gandharvas" is pudhi-siya. For this see Ayar. 1, 1, 2, 2,; 1, 1, 6,3 and Page #293 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 274 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 4 Schubring's analysis (at the end of p. 57/236 above) of his edition of the text supplied here in Appendix 1. Jacobi 1894, p. 318 translates this stanza 13 so: 'The Rakshasas and the dwellers in Yama's world, the troops [(kaya) see his note 1 ibid. on this) of Asuras and Gandharvas, and the spirits that walk the air, and individual beings: they will be born again and again'. Addition to fn. 15, p. 177: Jacobi 1894, p. 318 translates this stanza 14 so: '(The Samsara) which is compared to the boundless flood of water, know it to be impassable and of very long duration on account of repeated births. Men therein, seduced by their senses and by women, are born again and again both (as movable and immovable beings).' Addition to fn. 16, p. 177: For what Schubring translates here in stanza 15:"(being) beyond (all] desire" and the variant in the footnote: "beyond desire and fear", the uniform text has lobha-mayavatita. Schubring omitted the word maya- and Jacobi 1894, p. 318 translates it as: 'who got rid of the effects of greed'. Neither scholar discusses the problem. Silanka mentions the pathabheda with bhaya for maya and takes the compound either as a dvandva or to mean lobhad bhayam tasmad atitah, thus showing his embarrassment. However, a solution seems to be possible if one reads lobha-mayad'-atita, 'who got rid of desire, pride, etc.' Another case of misreading-v-for-d-may be samviddha for samditha in Ayar. 23, 14, as Schubring thinks (p. 107, fn. 182 above). In Pali -d- is also a sandhi consonant and a fossilized remnant of a historically correct form (for which I have no Prakrit example at hand). For the Pali see Norman 1992, p. 163. Addition to fn. 18, p. 177: Jacobi 1894, pp. 318-319 renders stanza 17 so: 'Averse to injury of living beings, they do not act, nor cause others to act. Always restraining themselves, those pious men practice control and some become heroes through their knowledge'. Addition to fn. 21, p. 177: The text for this stanza 18 has the word for "beings" (pane) twice. Schubring omits it in the second case which has been inserted in the English translation: "small beings and large (ones)". Jacobi 1894, p. 319 renders this stanza 18 thus: 'he regards small beings and large beings, the whole as equal to himself; he comprehends the immense world, and being awakened he controls himself among the careless'. For Jacobi's rendering of the word atato in this stanza 18 ('equal to himself) cf. Pali attato. Further, for the last part of the stanza Jacobi read buddhe pamattesu parivvaejja. In the 1978 (Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya) Bombay ed. of the Suyagada (ed. Jambuvijayaji) this stanza 18 (on p. 99) has buddh' appamattesu p', whereas Jambuvijayaji's re-edition of the 1917 ed. has: budde 'pamattesu po. The Ladnun edition has buddhappamattesu, leaving it to the reader in a footnote to understand this either as buddhe appamattesu or buddhe pamattesu. Footnote 22, p. 177: Jacobi 1894, p. 319 renders the first line of this stanza 19 quite differently: 'Those who have learnt the truth) by themselves or from others, are able to save) themselves and others.'

T WB Aurapaccakkhana Ayaranga Cunni Samthara Silanka Sayagada Abbreviations and Addenda Dasaveyaliya Orientalistische Literaturzeitung Tika Willem Bollee Appendix 9 Addenda (by WB) P. 1: Schubring's dating of the Valabhi council to "the first quarter of sixth century CE" is a matter of debate, as indeed is Mahavira's lifetime. The dates have to corelated to those of Buddha's, whose contemporary Mahavira was. For the date 527/526 of Mahavira's death, which Jacobi calculated as 477 or 476 BCE, see Schubring 1935, SS 19. For the discussion on the problem of the date of Mahavira see Bechert 1983 and on Buddha's dating Bechert 1991, where he suggests that the traditional dating of Buddha's death in 486 BCE is too early by at least a hundred years. P. 35, fn. 7: For a French translation of the simile in question here see Balbir 1994, pp. 243f. P. 36, fn. 13: With regard to irrigation: royal neglect of the irrigation system led to the decline of Angkor. Often the raja was a feudal lord as, perhaps, shown by the name of the Buddha's father, Suddh'-odana, 'whose rice is pure". P. 56: On the word devanu-ppiya in Suy. II 2, 56: much has been written about this expression since Weber 1866, p. 405, the Sanskrit equivalent of which is first found in Rgveda 10,56,8. A non-exhaustive list of relevant articles is given on p. 135 of G. B. Palsule's "Devanam-priyah" (in Indian Linguistics 30, 1969, pp. 134-161). For Jaina literature Pischel 1900, SS 111 and Bloch 1950, p. 90 assume that the expression is a compound with anuppiya as the last member. According to Ghatage's Dictionary of the Prakrit Languages (Pune 1993), p. 324, however, anuppiya occurs only as an adverb of words meaning 'flattering, pleasant'. The same seems to be the case with Pali anuppiya. In view of the antiquity of the phrase Weber (loc. cit.) and others may be right as against Pischel and Bloch. As for the ending -u instead of -a, Pischel SS 104 states its possibility before a labial. L. Renou mentions devanampriya among fixed combinations with a genitive plural as a first member (see his Grammaire sanscrite. Paris 1961 repr. 1975, pp. 91 and 368; and p. 60 of his Etudes vediques et panineennes 12 Paris. Publications de l'Institut de Civilisation Indienne 1960 (for the latter reference I thank Professor Caillat for her review of Bollee 2002 in Bulletin d'Etudes Indiennes 20.1 2002, p. 332). P. 146, fn. 62: The topic of the overcrowded earth and the intervention of the gods to reduce the humans has a parallel in the Akkadian epic Atrahasis and the Greek Cypria with different solutions, see Burkert 2003, pp. 42ff. 285 Page #305 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 286 Mahavira's Words by Walther Schubring - Appendix 10 Bibliography Abbott, John 1932: The Keys of Power, London.
