NOTE TO TRANSLATION
(1) In the case of the extracts from the Ayaramga, Súyagađamga and Uttarajjhayaņa, I have reproduced Professor Jacobi's translation published in the Sacred Books of the East Series Vols. XXII and XLV.
(2) In translating the extract from the Náyádhammakahá, I derived a great help from Dr. Barnett's translation of the Antagadadasáo and from Dr. Hocrnle's translation of the Uvásagadasáo wben similar passages occurred in these sútras.
(3) The remaining extracts were translated by me with the help of the Sanskrit commentaries.
(4) Thus it will be clear that uniformity in translation could not be maintained.
(5) The portions printed in italics are not in the Prakrit Text, but have been added to facilitate its understanding.
