For the interpretation of avii-marana etc. I follow VON KAMPTZ, Sterbefasten p. 15, n. 2. Abhay.'s comm. on the same terms in Samav. (see 34a-b) is nearly identical with his Vyakhyāprajñaptiṭīkā.

9. AṆAGARA KEYĀ-GHADIYA.
(626b) * A monk who has cultivated his spiritual faculties (bhāviy' appā an agar a) is able, magically, to take the form (-kicca-hattha-gaenam appāneṇam) of a water-jar attached to a string (keya-ghadiya: rajju-pranta-baddha-ghaṭikā, Abhay.) and of several kinds of baskets (hiranna- etc. pela, comm. peḍā), wicker-work (viyala- etc. kiḍda; kiḍda kata, Abhay.) and burdens (aya- etc. bhāra) and being thus transformed to rise up into the air. Such spells, which in fact are only illusory perceptions, he can work in compact masses (simile: juvaim juvāne etc., see III 11a); ref. to III 4*. In the same way while flying he may assume several attitudes, e.g. that of a [sleeping] bat (vagguli ... ciṭṭhejja evām-eva), a leech (jaloya), a biyambiyaga-bird, a viraliya- (< biḍāla?) bird, a jivamjivaya-bird, a goose (hamsa), a sea-bird (samudda-vāyasaya). Likewise while flying he may take the form of (-hattha-kiccagaya, also -kicca-gaya) a wheel, a parasol etc. (jāva) or assume the attitude of a lotus, a group of trees (vanasaṇḍa) etc. (jāva) or a lotus pool (pu~okkhariņi).
