4 (133b) Sexual intercourse is lack of self-discipline; simile: se jahānāmae kei purise ruya-nāliyam vā būra-nāliyam vā tatteṇam kanaenam samabhidhamsejjā. **
rūya = rūta: karpāsa-vikāra, būra būra: vanaspati-viśeşâvayava-viseṣa, Abhay.
5 (134b) In the sanctuary Pupphavaiya near Tungiyā Elders of Pārsva's creed (Pāsâvaccijjā thera bhagavanto, for their names see below) instruct a group of Jaina laymen (samaṇôvāsiya): [1] self-discipline and asceticism cause suppression of the karmic influx (aṇanhaya) and purification (vodāņa) resp.; [2] rebirth as a god is the result of asceticism (thus Kaliyaputta), self-discipline (Mehila), karman (Aṇandarakkhiya) or worldliness (sangiyā, thus Kasava).
Conclusion of the episode: the thera bhagavanto leave Pupphavaiya and go on itinerating through the country; at Rayagiha Mv. approves of their tenets.

The words samjama, ananha, tava and vodāna occur in separate pairs in 5 and form a series in ; cf. also Thāņa 156b. The text ends in a recapitulatory śloka the fourth pada of which is metrically defective.
7 (141a) Against the annautthiyas Mv. contends that the hot spring (mahātavôvatirappabhave nāmam pāsavane) at the foot of the Vebhāra hill near Rayagiha originates from the overflow (tav-vairitte vi abhinissavai) of a place, five hundred dhanus in length, where many souls destined to have a hot place of origin and atoms together form water (tattha nam bahave usinajoniya jiva ya poggala ya udagattae vakkamanti viukkamanti cayanti uvavajjanti). The annautthiyas contend that it originates from the overflow of the rainfall brought about by the big clouds
