form that the occasional parallelism of verse numbers is remarkable, in this case 1, 1, 2, 23 je u tattha viussanti, samsāram te viussiyā-68, where I should now like to translate : 'wer damit aber aufhört, beendet für sich den Samsāra'. Cf. also Theragāthā 784 a-vyosita
Nissiya : for this form cf. sikkhiya in vs. 16. Āya-danda : see my comment at 1, 2, 3, 9 (Bollée 1988 : 75f.).
Vayası : according to Pi $ 516 = avādīḥ, but cf. Pāli avacāsi (Geiger/ Norman $ 165.1); vayāsi points to vs. 19.
Caur’-ant': for this notion see Schubring 1935: $ 103. Jacobi translates the second line as : 'and their gain of which you spoke, will be the endless Circle of Births and pains manifold', Perhaps he wanted to read : -anta ya duha ya.

This gain of theirs is uncertain and not without an end. They experience (these qualities, both of them, (only) in the beginning. The gain acquired through him (i.e. Mahāvīra), however, has a beginning, but no end. The saint (and) guide/nāya gives away his gain.
N'egant : n'eganti n'accanti ity adi, ekântena bhavatîty ekântikah (...) atyantikah sarva-kāla-bhavi (T II 147a 9f.). For the seventh syllable -a see vs. 16 (sikkhiya).
Vayanti etc. : (...) tad-vido vadanti tau ca dvāv api bhāvau vigatagunodayau bhavataḥ (Ţ II 147a 11; similarly Cū 427, 5 f. where guna is
