The beginning of this insertion (Śloka?) is so much the less intelligible as behind vi, 1 Akṣara was not legible to the copyist. The carried through comparison, and what follows, shows, however, the attitude of the author, which we missed, p. 499, and, moreover, it is propably to be read accordingly in 20, 1. 30 f. 'daddhesu and biesu evām ev' adaḍdhe sarire. In the conclusion, which I have supplemented according to the sense, there appears samjhamebhi, a highly archaic form, which, however, does not seem to go very well with the remaining impression of II. The position of the formula with the Rși (who also appears in the Samghani and is fictitious) makes me see in 20, I. 1-20 a kind of motto (p. 491), and, in 1.21 ff; its exposition.
(6) According to my expectation (p. 565), the stanza in 25, 1. 49 is given in full.
iriy 'atthae ya samjam'atthae taha pāṇa-vattiyae chaṭṭham puna dhammacintae.
But then vedaṇā veyāvacce tam c'eva ought not to have preceded in the first word, the metre demands vedana, and tam c'eva is only justified is a reference in 1.53. In this error, all the MSS. and the print agree, which means that the supplementation in II is interpolated, as in 4., and probably also in 1.
(7) For 31, 1. 18 too, I already noted an omission. In fact, we read in II :
panâtivāenam musāvāeṇa(m?) adinn'ādāṇenam evam jāva miccha-salleṇam kiccā jīvā asāyaṇam veyaṇam veyanti. pāṇâtivāya-veramaṇeṇam jāva miccha-damsaṇa-sallaveramaneṇam kiccā jīvā sātaṇam vetanam vedenti jass 'atthae....
Accordingly, kicca has to be put down instead of kim tu in the printed text, all the more so since it is confirmed by kiccă kiccā, 1.41. The vedaṇā moreover can be aśātană 'non-hurting' with the viramaṇa only, sātana with the offence only. Thus, II ought to have first sāyaṇam veyaṇam afterwards asāyaṇam v., but shares the second mistake with all the MSS. and the print. The paraphrase takes this into account.
