does not confess before dying, he is not ‘perseverant (n'atthi tassa ārāhanā). **
See Introduction par. 15, n. 24.-On the meaning of vijjāe etc. the comm. is rather obscure: 'vijjāe' = vidyayā: pūrva-gata-śruti-višeșa-rūpayā karanabhūtayā; 'uttara-guna-laddhim' ti uttara-guņāḥ: pinda-visuddhy-ādayas teșu cêha prakramät tapo grhyate, consequently fu.-go-laddhim': tapo-labdhim; 'khamamāna' - kşamamāna : adhisahamāna. Abhay. quotes five gāhās. Cf. Lehre par. 181 end.
10. SÔVAKKAMA.
1a (795b) Premature exhaustion of quantity of life (uvakkama) is possible only with AM (who consequently may, but must not, be só va k k a ma), not with HG (who are always niruvakkama).
uvakkama (not to be mixed up with the uvakkama mentioned in Thāņa 220b): aprāpta-kālasy' āyuso nirjarana (Abhay.), i.e. 'cause of death'; cf. JACOBI on Tattv. II 52.
1b (796a) Rebirth consequently] may be the result of such a 'cause of death' which is either internal or external (āộvakkama, paróvakkama), or not be the result of such a cause (niruvakkama). Specification for rebirth (uvavajjai) and death (uvvattai, with Joisiyas and Vemāņiyas cayai) on the different stages of existence.
2 (796) HAMG are reborn and die by their own power (āy’iddhīe no par’iddhie), through their own karmans (āyakammunā etc.) and exertions (āya-ppaogeņa etc.).
Cf. XXV 8° (with the same series iddhi kamma paoga known also from III 4%) and IX 32b.
3 (796b) a. HA2-5M (except Siddhas) and Gare [1] kaisamciya, [2] akai-samciya or [3] avvattaga-samciya : [1] a definite number of them may simultaneously enter another stage of existence (samkhejjaenam pavesaņaenam pavisanti, cf. IX 32a2) or [2] an indefinite number may do so (asamkhejjaeņam ...) or [3] one of them may separately in one samaya do so (ekkaenam ...). Al are akai-samciya and Siddhas are akai-s. or avvattaga-s.
