'Adda' or the Oldest Extant Dispute between Jains and Heretics (Sūyagada 2, 6): Part one
W. B. Bollée
Śīlânka (śīlācārya) introduces this lecture by 17 Nijjutti stanzas”, only the first four of which occur pratīka-wise in Củ and are dealt with there. They commence with the niksepa of adda, the title of the lecture.
N 184. nāmam thavanā addam daw'-addaṁ c'eva hoi bhāv'-addam | eso khalu addassa u nikkhevo cau-viho hoi ||
d: V: nikkhevo cauvviho3

N 187. Adda-pure Adda-su(y)o nameņam Addao tti an-agāro tatto samutthiyam inam ajjhayanaṁ Addaijjam till
N 188. kama duválas'-angam Jina-vayanaṁ sāsayam mahābhāgam sav' ajjhayanai tahá saw'-akkhara-samnivāyā ya 11
N 189. taha vi ya koi attho uppajjai tammi tammi samayarmi puvva-bhanio anumao ya hoi Isibhāsiesu jahā 1!
(N 184) Adda ('wet') can be looked upon as a designation, a figural representation, from a material and from a figurative point of view : this fourfold niksepa of adda does exist, no doubt (khalu).
