ADDA OR THE OLDEST EXTANT DISPUTE BETWEEN JAINS AND HERETICS
423
Sīlao: taken as a dvandva as done by Śīlanka for whom sīla is krodhadyupasama-rūpa; for the gunas see SD., § 172. Accatthayam: atyarthatām corrected as -tah – sarva-gunâtisāyinīm sarva-dvandvôparama-rūpām (T II 152a 13).
(A brahmin speaks:)
2, 6, 43
sināyagānam tu duve sahasse je bhoyae niyae māhaņāņam te punna-khandhe su-mah' ajjanittä bhavanti devā ii veya-vão
b: LJ: ni(t)ie; - c: LJ: khandham su-mah’-ajjiņittā (L: ajjanittā)
BUT THOSE WHO ALWAYS FEED TWO THOUSAND STAINLESS BRAHMINS WILL EARN A GREAT DEAL OF MERIT AND BECOME GODS. THAT IS THE TEACHING OF THE VEDAS.
ab: cf. 29 ab = 36 ab
Ajjanittā: also Sūy 1, 5, 2, 35. Veya-vão: dāna-stutis are as old as the RV (e.g. X 117) and the donors of a daksiņā are said to stand high in heaven (RV X 107, 2), but in this context I have no place referring to snātakas, to whom gifts must be made in proportion to their learning (Manu XI 2f.).25 Beside vedāh pramānam (lokānām, Mbh 2, 262, la), Cū 438 quotes many Sanskrit pādas that cannot be identified and one Pkt. pāda (jaittā viule janne); see the list of quotations below.
2, 6, 44
(Ardraka speaks:)
siņāyagānam tu duve sahasse je bhoyae niyae *kulālayānam* se gacchai loluva-sampagādha tivvâbhitāvī naragâbhisevī
