-yo tam is a corruption, but did not notice that the reading should be yogam, which is partially synonymous with the Sanskrit gadhā; while he mistranslated the phrase by assuming Sanskrit gādha, which is from a
different root. 26. J. J. Jones, The Mahāvastu, Vol. III, p. 271, n. 3. 27. Alex Wayman, Analysis of the Śrāvakabhūmi Manuscript, pp. 61-62. 28. I use the edition in Franklin Edgerton, Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Reader,
pp. 24-25; he mentions that this passage, LV 418-22-420.10, immediately
follows “The First Sermon”. 29. Franklin Edgerton, Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary, s. v. 30. Nārada, A Manual of Abhidhamma, p. 327. 31. The word abhis ardhi means "deliberate misrepresentation" but in the good
sense of being required for circumstances of teaching. Four of them are stated in the texts and listed in the Mahāvyutpatti, nos. 1672-1675. Examples are given for the four in a work of an ancient Tibetan translator, Dpal brtsegs, his treatise on Dharma-paryāya in Photo ed. of Tibetan Kanjur-Tanjur, Vol. 145, p. 128-4-6, ff. For the fourth one, pariņāmābhisandhi, he gives as example this very list of the five deadly sins. Here,
pariņāma means “tiansvaluation of term(s) standing for sin(s). 32. Bunyiu Nanjio, ed. The Lankāvatāra Sūtra (Kyoto, at the Otani University
Press, 1956), 138.18-139.3. 33. Alex Wayman, "Purification of Sin in Buddhism by Vision and Confession",
