जो मुसं भासए किंचि अप्पं वा जइ वा बहु । अप्पण' अठ्ठा परस्स वा लिप्पए पाव-कम्मणा ॥ affair 3 ***** **** | मेहुणं सेवइ जो उ तेरिच्छं दिव्वं माणुसं ।
511-012, sfataza atat fesoare 979-FATT 11 48. Ibid., p. 127. He refers to the metrical defect in lines 2, 3 and 5 and to
the use of kammaņā instead of kammuņā of verses 1-3. 49. A. M. Sethiya, op. cit. 50. From the seventh to the seventeenth we have māna, māyä lobha, rāga,
dveșa, klesa, abhyākhyāna, pió unată, paraparivāda, rati-arati and māyā-mrsă. 51.
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 Rși Ketaliputta
besides Tetaliputta'. 52. Our reconstruction is to be published shortly. 53. For a similar use of the verb pravraj see Jabalopani şad, 4-vani bhūtup
pravrajet; Baudhāyana-dharmasātra, II. 10.2, 18—brahamacaryavān prauraja
tityekeşām. 54. Krtyakalpataru, Vol. XIV, p. 49. 55. Viriyattāe (Skt. viryārtham) may be taken to make an indirect allusion to
Jainism. Mahävira is the name of the twenty-fourth tirtharikara of the Jainas, who is often glorified as the real founder of Jainism. Sankara on Vedāntasutra, I. 4. 28. One of the earliest full account of the eight siddhis is associated with the Devala-dharma sūtra. Our article “Devaladharmasútra on Aiśvarya" appears in Sri Dines acandrika : Studies
in Indology (D. C. Sircar Felicitation Volume), pp. 153-58. . 57. This seems to have been the original and early meaping of the term
brahmacarya. This will be an indicator of an early date for Devala. 58. See, for example, passages on the four varnas in our article on “Devala
dharmasútra on Varnas and Jātis", Dr. R. N. Dandekar Felicitation Volume,
Delhi 1984, pp. 239-245. 59. Both employ the terms mucchā, gehi, dosenam and pāvakamma in a specific
sense.
