English translation by George Baumann
that is introduced as the "second point of view"2. Since at the transition Śīlānka lapses into Pkt., he thus seems to follow some Cūrņi or other. The KalpaCūrņi says (after finishing Kalpabh. I 327 336) only: iyānim sikkhāpaya tti dāram.
“Others" means Sīlānka, and the "old commentary” is that of Jinabhadra. I 302-305. "These stanzas have been explained (in the preceding) in the sense of the original commentary. Others explain them differently: but we do not understand what they are thinking."
The entire passage 300-305, which has been translated above, p. 39'n according to Hemacandra, has to be taken into consideration. Again, the unauthentic explanation "by others" can be found with Sīlānka in first position. If Hemacandra considers it to be obscure, then this is possibly due to the expression which Śīlānka has given it. With him it reads:

Reading in the excerpts (p. 6o63-6'2) about Śīlānka's second point of view, it can thus be seen that it is simply a question whether both stanzas 302 f. should be connected with the preceding opinion "several” (3000 & 301) or with the following opinion (supported by the author) of the ācārya (304 f.). In fact, both are possible; for our interpretation to fit the first case, it is only necessary to change a few additions to the translations in brackets at 302 and 304 as follows:
2 biti'ādesenam (cp. above, p. 234416-19) sikkhāvayam ti, ko 'rthah ? bārasa samvaccharāim suttam pādhijjai. bārasa ya varisāim atthagahanam ti, artha-grahaņam kāryate.
The wording of this passage has been given below, p. 6', within the first footnote.
