I 9
2 (95b) Heaviness and lightness of a number of cosmic and spiritual realities.
The realities referred to are those enumerated in I 64 note.-ovāsao etc. (read pudhavi) is part of the first gāhā quoted in the same text.
3 (97b) To be easily satisfied (lāghaviya and synonyms) and free from passion (akohatta etc.) is salutary (pasattha) for the monk (samana niggantha). The monk who is free from likes and dislikes (kankhā-paose khīne) will soon attain liberation.
Here at last comes kankhā-paosa (kānkşa-pradveșa or -pradosa, Abhay.), the catchword of I 3.
4 (98a) Against dissidents (annautthiya): the soul cannot effect a quantity of life in this world (iha-bhaviy'āuya) and in the world beyond (para-bh.-ā.) at the same time, but only one of these. **
Cf. V 34 and VII 6. 5 (99a) Kālāsa Vesiyaputta, a monk of Pārsva's creed (Pasávaccijja ... anagāra), questions the Jaina Elders (therā bhagavanto): a. the I underlies equanimity (āyā ... sāmāie, āyā ... sāmāiyassa atthe), renunciation, self-discipline, repulsion of the karmic influx (samvara) and both the spiritual and the physical attitude (vivega, viussagga); b. disapproval, viz of sin and folly (bāliya), does not go counter to passionlessness because it is necessary for self-discipline.—Kālāsa's conversion, monachal career (the twenty-two parīsahôvasaggas) and final liberation.
No doubt avahattu koha-māna-māyā-lobhe ... garahaha and maybe vivega and viussagga (cf. Lehre par. 161) relate to aloyaņā and padikkamana which the Pāsávaccijjas did not know.-eyam attham no saddahie is due to the current eyam attham no saddahai (Abhay.'s eyam atthe ... is only partly correct).--For the parisahôvasaggas cf. Uvav. 116 and Lehre par. 176.
6 (101a) Goy. again questions Mv.: the rich and the poor equally act without renunciation (samam ceva apaccakkhāņakiriyā kajjai) because they disregard the commandments (aviraim paducca).
Cf. VII 88. ? (101b) The consequences, for a monk, of enjoying food prepared for him in advance (āhākamma) resp. permitted food (phāsu'esaņijja): ref. to asamvuda and samvuda in I 110.
