The Eleventh Anga II. Lect. 1. so forth, down to ) spoke thus : “I believe, Reverend Sir ! in the Nigganthu doctrine [ here the rest is to be supplied beginning from Stiil, though acknowledging this, many kings, princes (and so forth) have, in your presence, O beloved of the Devas, submitted to the tonsure and entered the monastic state (and so forth ), I am not able to do the same.
