## The Kasayapahuda Sutra: A Translation
**24**
**Kasayapahuda Sutra**
The eight chapters are recited together, and then some chapters are further explained in detail. The burden of shaping the explanation is left to the pronunciation teachers. Only the fifteenth chapter, called "Charitramohakṣapaṇa," has 110 verses that the commentator has individually explained, recited, and elaborated upon. As this fifteenth chapter is the largest in terms of verses, it also has the most commentary verses, totaling 1572.
It is noteworthy that the commentator has not written a single commentary verse on any of the five verses of the "Vyanjana" chapter, which is considered easy. He only begins the chapter with the two verses: "1. Vanjane ti aniyogaddarassa sutam. 2. Tam jaha." In essence, the commentator has not elaborated on the verses he considered easy, but has explained those verses where he felt it necessary to say something specific.
A characteristic of the commentator's explanation is that whenever he has something specific to say, he first raises a doubt by saying, "Kathām," "Keṇa kāraṇa," "Kadham satthāṇapadāni bhavanti," etc., and then provides a reasoned solution. For this, see pages 22, 23, 26, 186, 163, 206, 214, 316, 317, 463, 586, 561, 616, 662, 715, 786, 833, 857, 862, 874, 881, 84, 87, 860, 862, etc.
The chapters on "Kṣīṇākṣīṇa" and "Sthityantika" are described by raising doubts. The four divisions, the ownership in the "Sakrama" and "Udirana" chapters, and the description of the "Anuyogadvara" like "Kāla" and "Antarādika" are all explained through questioning.

**Mention of Two Types of Teachings**
The commentator has mentioned two types of teachings at certain specific places. He has called one "Pavaijjat Upadesa" and the other "Any Upadesa." Jayadhavalakāra has interpreted "Any Upadesa" as "Apavaijjat Upadesa." Wherever the commentator has mentioned such differences of opinion, Jayadhavalakāra has provided some explanation of their meaning. Jayadhavalakāra has identified "Pavaijjant" or "Pavaijjaman" (flowing) teachings as belonging to Ārya Nāgahāsti, and "Apavaijjant" or "Apavaijjaman" (non-flowing) teachings as belonging to Āryamancuka. Although there is generally agreement in all explanations, some discrepancies or variations are also observed in two or three places. For example:
(1) On page 562, while explaining the short and long duration of the use of "Kapāya," the commentator first mentions this difference of opinion, which is as follows:
16. Pavaijjanteṇa ucadeśena śraddhāṇam viseso tomuhuc.
This means that the measure of the difference in the duration of the use of "Kapāya" like anger, etc., is "Antarmūhūrta" in comparison to the flowing teachings.
Commenting on this, Jayadhavalakāra writes:
"Ko burā pavaijjatovaeso nāma butamedam 1 saccairiyasammodo cirakālam...
