Page 248—lines: 9) Gautama raises this question, because this eating of flesh by one of the Deva-yoni is against Jaina dogmas. Mahāvīra explains the situation by saying that the Vetāla is just joking to test the bonafidy of the prince. 15) अद्विसरिस; here सरिस has the sense of सहिय. 34) घेप्पई वा or घेप्पइ व्वा-here lengthening of इ or doubling of वा is for the sake of metre.
Page 249.-line: 30) In the IT-374ouprafegi t (p. 37, verse 70) Rājasekhara has expressed a similar idea in his Karpūramañjarī II. 6: 377fFH f ruft uzputrur aty, qort af Tदुद्धतरंगमाला । पच्छा असे सरइ तंसणिरिक्खिएK आअण्णकुंडलिअचावहरो अणंगो ॥.
Page 250-line: 28) Note 37fu........ at 1.
Page 252-lines: 29) So the author recognises both the forms ac (line 1) and ag. 31 Here the author seems to have confused between 7991 and 9r9s, see 250.19 above. The Sanskrit Digest rightly says 'चम्पकमालया प्रोचे'* 83.12. Pagə 253-lines: 4) TU A U
H, 4G9T refers to the code of warfare. 18) Vajragupta is plunged in sense-pleasures, not even aware of the passing of twelve years since he left home: so here is a divine voice reminding him, deluded by slumbering with infatuation as he is, that a Fall for him is inevitable, if he fails to remember the mutafan. 26) In this paragraph virati is stressed even in the midst of pleasures. .
Page 254-lines: 1) Pleasures are a result of Punya which accrues from the practice of Dharma without which all enjoyment is a mockery. 11) Lovely and tempting lures cannot be a shelter from the pangs of hell from which Dharma alone can protect one. 19) Nowhere there is anything like satisfaction in this Samsāra: quenching of one thirst only gives rise to another, and so goes on the series in this Samsāra, irrespective of the fact whether one is a god or a man. 26) Samsāra has manifold tortures, ailments, humiliations and sufferings which one should recollect and get rid of infatuation for pleasures.
Page 255-lines: 3) The sense-organs are a trap and their pleasures are fatal in consequence; so one should be devoted to Samitis instead, with full control on mind, speech and body. 12) Kulaka is obviously a group of verses. 26) This verse tra TT TT Fiffa #TTI 3774T HE TOTS Taitts4foc 7 11 is taken out possibly from a narrative context. The source is said to be affastet.
Page 256-lines: 30 f.) Gods are of two kinds #TT and factfit. The former class includes Mifara, fpira, . RTT deities, trafa, gif, TT, TTSH, ta, fara, fat, fier, Thera, FETT, 95, 7877, , TE, TIERT, ATT, 3gfe, qui, ofta, fag and 35. All these are worshipped by somebody or the other, in some place, context or the other. In giving fruits in response to devotion, worship etc. these gods are only eat, coincidental: what is important is one's own Karma according to which there results one's happiness or misery. The gods of the facific class (namely, अर्हत, सिद्ध, आचार्य, उपाध्याय and सर्वसाधु), when respected, only show the path of Liberation. However, according to the war of the devotee, they become the cause or occasion of T9 and
E- which process is illustrated by parallel cases of the Māntric lore, sometimes a bit obscure. Vitarāga god is indifferent to praise or blame. Just as mercury dropped in fire splits into pieces which flow in different directions; similarly the sin disappears at the sight of Jina.
Page 257–lines: 22 f.) Here we have some Tantric description of the worship of R-49. These details have been worked out in a chart in the Gujarati translation, p. 460, lately brought out by श्री हेमसागरसूरि, in the श्री आनन्द-हेम-ग्रन्थमाला, No. 10, Bombay 1965.
Page 259-lines: 1) The Vajjālaggam has a verse like this: afga qu TH TIU fant रिद्धी पेच्छामि सयललोए ते मह लोया न पेच्छंति ॥. 8) One can introduce here the popular notion of ga for que (see below 260.1) and thus the author has stated his concept about the relation between da and 764 which affect one's worldly prospects.
Page 260-lines: 12) affae, Mas. nom. pl. 13) DECT HTUTT Acc. pl.? 18) As it is TESTC af.... Toad H I.
Page 261-lines: 6) Religion can be and has to be practised not only by men and women but also by beasts and birds as well. 8) A doctrinal point is raised: who go to hell and how the hell-life is incurred? Here four causes or items are specifically stated. Compare a TITEqfuera 7744144:, To T VI.15, which is more general. The first three are covered by बहारम्भ and the last by परिग्रह. 22) The expression पाव-परमं अम्हाणं जीवियं ति । is interesting.
