with samjama, in fact relate to conduct (caritta (5) in the introductory gähäs). For the exact meaning of the terms see Lehre 1.c. For samjama proper see (14) below.
(6) The transgressions (893b) of P and PK relate to both the fundamental and the additional gunas (they are mula- and uttaraguna-padisevaya), those of B only to the additional gunas. KK, N and S do not commit any transgressions (apaḍisevaya). The text expressly states that offending the fundamental gunas means giving way to one of the five [sins that bring about] karmic influxes (mulaguna-paḍisevamane pancanham āsavāṇam annayaram paḍisevejjā) [scil. committing sins against the five vows, Abhay.] and that the uttara-gunas here are the ten renunciations (dasaviha paccakkhāṇa); cf. VII 22.

(7) P, B and PK (894b) have the two or three lowest kinds of knowledge, KK and N may also possess the fourth kind; S always have kevala-nāņa.
The expression dosu (scil. nāņesu) hojja is rather curious.

(7bis) As to their knowledge (894b) of the Tradition of the Lore (suya), P at least study (ahijjejjā) it up to the third vatthu of the ninth Puvva, which is called Ayara; their study, however, cannot extend beyond the ninth Puvva. B and PK may study ten Puvvas, KK and N all fourteen Puvvas; these classes at least study the 'Eight Vessels of the Sacred Teaching' (aṭṭha pavayanamāyāo aṣṭa-pravacana-matṛ according to Abhay. who refers to Utt. 24, 1; cf. Lehre par. 173). S reach beyond all traditional knowledge (suya-vairitta).
(8) P, B and PK (895a) are part of the sangha (thus Abhay. on tittha), whereas the other classes may also stand beyond it (atittha), scil. be Tirthankaras or Pratyekabuddhas.
In (8) and (9) there seem to be terminological connections with the theory of the fifteen anantara-siddha-kevalis (Pannav. 18b); cf. Lehre par. 81.
(9) Materially speaking (895a, davva-lingam paducca) all five classes may possess the external marks of Jaina or non-Jaina monkhood or those of the laity (sa-, anna- and gihi-linga) but spiritually (bhava-l. paḍ.) [that means as to their knowledge etc., Abhay.] they all are Jaina monks (? sa-linga).
