Ariyānam : āryānām sarva-heya-dharma-dūra-vartinām tad-upakārāya dharma-desanām vyāgrnīyād asau (T II 145b 2f.). This and the next stanza show that ā, means : fellow believers. Thereby, however, Adda recognizes Gosala's reproach as correct.

a: VJ: tatthā
Whether he goes there or not, quick-witted he will give correct answers/explanations. Fearing lest they be heretics because they have turned away from the (right) belief he does not go to them.
d = 16 d
Gantā : taken by śīlanka (Ţ II 145b 4) and Jacobi to pertain to the monk's pupils (vineya), who in my opinion are not meant here, at any rate not by Gosāla.
Samiy' : 'impartially' (Jac.), samataya - sama-drstitaya (T II 145b 6). The latter sanskritization is impossible; formally and semantically, however, samyak and samakam would do58. Cf. Sūy 1, 2, 2, 6 samiyā dhammañ udāhare muni, Ayār 1, 7, 8, 14 samiyā āhare munī and Sūy 1, 2, 2, 8 pānā (...) samayam samīhiya with samiyam uvehāe as a Cū variant and samayam tatth' uvehāe in Ayār 1, 3, 3, 1.
Asu-panne : 'the wise man' (Jac.), sarva-jña (T II 145b 6). With the exception of Ayār 1, 7, 1, 3 (prose) I have only found references of this compound in tristubh metres. It seems to be absent in Pāli and Sa.
Parittä: 'men have fallen (from...)' (Jac.), pari-samantād itāngatāh prabhrastāh (T II 1456 8). Paritta may be best taken as a ppp. of pra V RIC 'leer werden' [pwb] (to become empty), i.e. approximately 'without'. This meaning is not attested in Sa. and Pāli.
