The two examples of the bushel (patthaga) and the nightstay (vasahi) preceding in Anuog 2221) ff comiprisc both thc naya 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, and so they do not give us an chaustive information about their standpoint. But they compensate for it by distinguishing different grades of quality in a negama and, implicitly, in the vavahāra coinciding with it Wc speak of a genuine (visuddha) negama when somcbody being asked what hc is hewing there with his axe, gives an answer by saying a measure for a bushel (patthaga), the neg bocomcs cvcr more genuine (visuddhalarāga) when, with the samc answer given in each case, it is being asked what are you hicwing? what are you hollowing ? what are you smoothening? and so on up to the point of carving the owncr's nanie (nām' audio palthao).

But, to be true, we find it fully developed, along with the naya-technique, also only as late as in Anuog., and it is even later that it is given the name of
