(iv) Note : "Jayā mūlu dhammu. . . (the dharma having compassion as its base) Sāvaya- dhamma-dohā, V.40. (i) Acaranga Sūtra, 11-3. (ii) I have kept Prof. Jacobi's translation intact. Sacred books of the East, Vol. XXII, Delhi, 1964, p.19. Dasávaikalika Sūtra, VI - 11. Mulārādhanā, v.776. Bhakta Prajnā, V.90. Mularadhanā, v.786. (i) It may be noted that Gandhiji's concept of ahimsā is also considerably subtle and of far-reaching effect. According lo him, "Evil thoughts, sentiments of revenge and brutality, verbal pugnacity and even accumulation of unnecessary things represent examples of personal violence”. (ii) For more details in this regard, vide The social and political Implications of Non-violence' by Dr.V.P.Varni, in Vaishli Research Institute, Bulletin - No.3, Vaishali, 1982. It will not be wrong to accept the view that possibly strong and organized voices of such humanc individuals and associations against the Nuclear Arms Race leading to global catastrophe, may have also contributed a bit towards the recent significant events like the Dclhi Declaration (1986) and the INF-Treaty (1987).
