tejoleśyā. For instance as stated in Viāhapannatti (XV; s. 543) Gosāla who was attacked by usna tejoleśyā was protected by Lord
Mahavīra by discharging sita tejoleśyā to counteract it. P. 13, 1. 2. The author uses karman-body in the sense of kārmana
body. See pp. 22, 31, 33 etc. P. 13, 1. 28. In a way this division is needed ; for, bandhas like
taijasa-kārmana do take place. P. 15, 11. 18-19. Rājapațța is a diamond of inferior quality. In Abhi
dhānacintamani (IV, 132) are noted virātaja and tājāvarta as its
synonyms. P. 15, 1. 27. The words ' pleasant' and ' unpleasant' ought to be
interchanged. See Kammavivāga (verse 41). P. 23, 1. 31. Add : In Tattvārthādhigamasutra (VIII, 19), the mini
mum duration of vedaniya-k is stated to be 12 muhūrias whereas
in Uttarajjhayana (XXXIII) etc. it is antarmuhürta. P. 24, ll. 8-9. It appears that there should be 'of' after compact
ness' and 'or' after weakness'. P. 37, 1. 17. The number 12 may be added after following '. P. 39, 1. 2. Add a foot-note on samkrama : For a detailed exposition
of samkrama see Samkramakarana (parts I & II) by Premavijaya
Gani (now Ācārya). P. 40, 1. 11. Pārināmika bhāva is rendered as natural thought
activity' in The Jaina Gem Dictionary (p. 77). P. 41, 11. 7-11. It is not true that also in the aupaśamika bhāva the
realized karman is annihilated; for, herein there is no realization (udaya) whatsoever of any karman and hence there is no room for its annihilation. Such being the case, the terminus technicus
is correct. P. 49, last line. Cf. the meaning attention of the word ābhoga. P. 50, 1. 8. It appears that the word ' or ' is here used on the basis
of the comm. (p. 108) of Bandhasāmitta. There is however a difference between vedaka and ksāyopaśamika sam yaklvas. See
my explanatory notes (p. 33) on Rşabhapañcāśikā. P. 53, last line. Add ' (p. 49) ’after above'. P. 64, 1. 33. Nidāna is rendered in The Jaina Gem Dictionary (p. 70)
