Ibid., p. 127. He refers to the metrical defect in lines 2, 3 and 5 and to the use of kammana instead of kammuna of verses 1-3. A. M. Sethiya, op. cit. 50. From the seventh to the seventeenth we have mana, maya lobha, raga, dvesa, klesa, abhyakhyana, pisunata, paraparivada, rati-arati and maya-misa. Op. cit., p. 11 : 'wavering in the judging of the riddhi (9 and 45), and the error concerning the agandhana (45), the repeated use of the same motto in 26 and 32, the transformation of current names, the Rsi Ketaliputta besides Tetaliputta'. 52.

See, for example, passages on the four varnas in our article on "Devala dharmasutra on Varnas and Jatis", Dr. R. N. Dandekar Felicitation Volume, Delhi 1984, pp. 239-245. 59. Both employ the terms muccha, gehi, dosenam and pavakamma in a specific sense.
