4b (792a) The Lore (tittha) will survive Mv. by twenty-one thousand years.
40 (792b) The Lore will survive the twenty-fourth future Tirthankara by the same definite number [of thousands of years] (samkhejjāim scil. vāsa-sahassāim) as lasted the period during which Usabha the Kosaliya (who was the first Tīrthankara of the present osappiņā] lived as a Jina (jina-pariyāya).
Scil. a period of 99.000 puvvas, see Jiñac. 227 with Jacobi's translation, SBE XXII p. 284.

Ikkhāga = Aikşvāka, the line of Ikşvāku; Nāya = jñāts, Mv.'s family; Koravva = Kauravya, the line of Kuru.
9. CARAŅA.

II 16b) vijjāe uttara-guna-laddhim khamamāņa (see comm.); further details about its velocity and its range both in horizontal and vertical directions; b (794a) the jangha-carana-laddhi is brought about ațțham aţthenam anikkhitteņam tavo-kammeņam; its velocity and range.
