sahāyalā) is an emphatic pronouncement of the Dhammapada verse 330. The Prakrit readmg agrees with that of the Udānavarga. We must note that the Prakrit verse slightly differs from its Fäli counterpart, and that with regard to the expression savasovi (=Pāli saivāso pi), substituted for sannivāso. The addition of the particle (a)vi (= Pāli api) is necessitated by the exigency of metre. The expression balana (=Păli bāliinań, 'of fools') denotes, when interpreted in the light of v. 13, persons who desire the pleasures of household life. Nicameva= Pāli niccam era, a vowel sandhi (nica teva).

Supplied by us, according to M. Senart's suggestion. ? Frag. C. XVI, 3. *, Bupplied by us, though the latter does not answer to the four dots of omission in M. Senart's edition, which are hardly in keeping with the metre.
s For the final o, see M. Senart's rote b (p. 81). • Frag. O. XXXVIVO.
Frag. C. XXXVO, 1. M. Senart reads pranai as one word. • Frag. C. xxvo: eya of the last word is upplied by us on the strength of a form bhayeyn occnring in the gelf-game verse. The three dots of omission in M. Senart's edition appear haruly warranted, as they indicate that three letters are missing, whereas the metro proves that only one letter is wanting.
. Frag. C. XXXVVO, 2. The bracket has not been closed after the circle as there romains a portion of the fragment, viz, ra, which belongs to the next verac; accordingly, the closing bracket is put after ra there.
