( 214 ) 23 [(a)'yara jiyamanena dajhamanena nivruti nimedha)' [parama sodhi yokachemu aputara)" ()
(Cro, 20)
Cf. Therag., v. 32+:Ajaram jīramānena tappamänena nibbutir Nimmissam paramam santim yogakkhemam anuttarań.
Notes.---This verse, which is peculiar to the Prakrit text, clearly
sets forth the moral of the foregoing three verses. 'be Theragāthā ascribes the authorship of the Pāli parallel to Suppiya Thera.
Ayara = Pāli ajaran, the undecaying', a synonym of Nirvana. Jiyamanena=Pāli jiramārena, by a person in a state of decaying '; cf. khane khane jarāya abhibhnyyamānattā jāramānena (Paramatthadipanī). Dajhamanena = Pāli dayhamānena, a synonym of tappamānena, by a person in a state of burning'. Nivruti= Pāli nibbutim, sk. nirvrtim, a synonym of Nirvana. Here the cbange is either from ro into vr as in Pali (cf. alhra of the Manserah Edicts), or from or into ur.
