Verses 0-11.-Saghasadhameşu=Pāli saikhatalham. WPBU, among those who have well understood the Norm'. Cf. the explanation given in the Dhammapada-Commentary, v. 10:-"Satikhatailhamnā ruccanti tūtadhamwâ, tulitudhammā.” The meaning of the word was changed when it came to be Sanskritised as erakhyuta-ilharmūnain, 'of those who have well explained the law. For the reading see M. Senart's notes (pp. 59-60). Sabanasileşu would be in Pali sampinnasileru, among those who have fully observed the rules of morality'. The adoption of the locative form for the genitive (cf. sampannasilanām of the Mahāvastu verse quoted above) is a peculiarity noticeable in the Prakrit verses 9-10. For the opposite process cf. parasa (Apramada vaga, v. 1), p. 121; uthanaalasa (ibid, v. 4), D. 123; pramailara (ibid, v. 17), p. 126; imas (ibid, v. 16), p. 132 ; saga andasa (Puşavaga, v. 14), p. 152. Ekapananuabiga would correspond to a Pali plapānínu. kampissa, Sk. rkuprāņánukarpinaḥ, of one who is compassionate towards a single living creature'.
