Mijjanti: mriyanti (Cũ 442, 1), miyeran
paricchidyeran (Ț II 155b 3). For the atmâdvaita-vāda - the doctrine of the non-difference of the soul of the Universe and the individual souls which Śilänka mentions here (T 155b 6) see Bollée 1977: 82 note 9.

Mahaṇā: as an example of the equality of mankind, Ca 442,6 compares the Malla-dāsī sarveṣām Mallānām sāmānyā: evam brāhmaṇa-sarīram api sarveṣām kṣatriya-vit-chadraṇam sämānyam. Deva-loga: this seems to be an early instance of -loga as a plural formant in NIA languages.
