10. ANNAUTTHI.
1 (323b) A group of dissidents (annautthiya)—their names are Kālodāi, Selodāi, Sevālodāi, Udaya, Namudaya, Tammudaya, Annavālaya, Selavālaya, Sankhavalaya, Suhatthi, Gāhāvai-do not understand the samaņa Nayaputta's (i.e. Mv.'s) explanation of the five fundamental entities (atthikāya), namely why he says that Motion (dhamma), Rest (adhamma) and Space (āgāsa) are both inanimate (ajiva) and devoid of form (arūvi), whereas Matter (poggala) is inanimate and corporeal (possessing form, rūvi) and Soul (jiva) is living (jiva) and incorporeal. They question Goy. about it. Goy., however, turns them away with the assurance that the Jainas ('we') do not tell any nonsense (no khalu vayam, devâṇuppiya, 'atthi-bhavam n' atthi' tti vayamo, 'natthi-bhāvam atthi' tti vayāmo) and that they must themselves thrash out the truth about that tenet (tam ceyasa khalu tubbhe, devâṇuppiyā, eyam attham sayam eva paccuvekkhaha ...).
Then Kalodai questions Mv. on the same problem. Mv. first confirms the truth of the tenet, then explains that one can lie, stand, sit etc. (cakkiyā kei āsaittae vă ...) only on poggala, the corporeal inanimate atthikāya, and that bad deeds get their karmic retribution (pāvā kammā pāva-phala-viväga-samjuttā kajjanti) only in the living incorporeal soul, not in matter.
Kalodai's conversion and the beginning of his monachal career, ref. to II 16.
VII 10
Cf. XVIII 74.-In VIII 53 we shall meet the Ajiviya laymen Udaya, Namudaya and Sankhavalaya.-In the introductory passages the text twice refers to a Niyanth'uddesa in the second saya (cf. also XI 91): the place in question seems to be the end of II 55.-Note that vayam 'we' adds a curious personal ring to Goy.'s refusal.
2 (325a) In the sanctuary Gunasilaya near Ray. the monk (aṇagāra) Kalodai questions Mv.: a (325a) Bad deeds get a bad karmic retribution; simile: just as delicious food well prepared with the 'eighteen condiments' to which poison has been added (visa-sammissa) is favorable at first sight (avãe bhaddae bhavai) but proves to be wholly noxious during its digestion (parinamamāņa), likewise the 'eighteen sins' (see I 91) etc.; ref. to VI 31. Good deeds get a good karmic reward (kallāņā kammā etc.);
