4. The description of the city is omitted. Reference is to the Uvavaia (Aupapatika) Sūtra which gives a description of the city of Campā. The description of Rājagsha is to be taken to be similar to that.
5. The first adjective to Mahāvīra is 'samane'. Srāmyati tapasyatiti sramanaḥ. He who practises penance and knows the trouble of living beings is a śramana. An alternative form in Sanskrit 'samanaḥ' means one whose mind is pure, who is equally well-disposed towards all. Another of the adjectives to Mahāvīra "ãigare' --'the fountain-head of religion', should, in strict sense, apply only to the first tirthank ara. But, in a wide sense, any tirthankara may be called 'äigara' because each tirthnkara reorganises the order afresh.
