b. This is also true when the attribute 'being existent' concerns Mahavira himself or his teaching.
Again Abhay. is puzzled. The underlying principle probably is that of the immutable nature of Mv.'s person and maybe of his teaching. ettham and iha here represent the paryayas mentioned above. Should we perhaps, in connection with gamanijja, think of gama 'identical sequel (of the wording of a text)'?

8 (60a) Jaina monks (samana niggantha), as a result of the causes mentioned in 2 above, experience it as deviations from [the right] knowledge (nān'antara) etc. Again 3-6 are repeated. * *
The repetitions in ' and 8 are an artificial way to integrate the rather disparate paragraphs of the udd. ---According to Abhay. the word niggantha is used to differentiate the Jaina sādhu from other sramanas,
