________________ nected with the said tenet in I 11. These fragments have then, for the above-said reason, been repeated in I 1?. The same thing happens in I 3, where 3-6 are repeated in and 8.. The string of fragments thus juxtaposed on account of associations, elements of resemblance in phraseology and sound, additions and the like of course often grows to such an extent that at the end of it the reader has completely lost sight of its starting-point. In such cases the text not seldom resumes the thread by returning to the initial topic. Thus V 61 recurs to the topic āuya left at V 32; the intermediate texts V 4-5 are a digression on the kevalin and chadmastha theme. This procedure is, in fact, quite natural. Certain recurrences, however, appear to be of a more regular and conventional character. Thus I 101 (annautthiyas dis- ) (111(the irrevocabile factum avowing the irrevocabile tenet) factum tenet) III 10 (the assemblies of the III 1-2 (gods) gods) 58 resp. V 10 (the course etc. of VI (the course etc. of the the moons discussed at recur suns discussed at Campā) Campā) VI 101.3 (veyaņā) VI 11-3 (veyaņā) VIII 103-4 (poggala-pari- to VIII 11-2 (poggala and pari ņāma, colour etc.; davva) |ņaya, colour etc.; davva) XIV 91 (bhāviy'appā ana XIV 11 (bhāviy’appā anagāra, kamma-lessă) 59 gāra, kamma-lessā). These six recurrences obviously imply that at some stage in the evolution of the Viy. greater sections of the text, in this case sayas consisting of ten udd., were purposively rounded off by putting at the end some fragment reminding of the topic treated at the very beginning. This type of recurrence at the same time is a kind of enframement. Enframement, however, also covers a number of other phenomena. As a matter of fact I already had to use the term while speaking of the reference in I 12 and 7. 58 In fact III 63-10. 59 XIV 10 discusses the bhavastha-kevalin (Abhay.) as an introduction to XV.
