________________ ENTRIES 115 compared with the one in Prajñāpanā and they do not contain further niksepa matter. Therefore a survey of the two tracts in Bhagavati does not seem necessary in our case. DETAILS CONNECTED WITH NO.75 34, NO.7635, AND NO.78 $37: In continuation of our treatment of No.78937 we have to explain why we supplied the text from Jīvābhigama 1.13, and not from Prajñāpanā 28.1 as suggested by Abhayadeva (Āgs p. 1090, he is follow ed by DELEU p.88). The sūtra mentions an "Ahāra-gama", and in such references "gama". simply designates some passage, not the section of a work. Therefore, "Āhāra-gama" should not be confused with Āhārapaya as the title of Prajñāpanā 28. Again the subject of No.78837 is JĪVĀ, which points to Jīvābhigama rather than to Prajñāpanā. There is also agreement as regards the formula at the end of the 1st extension of the niksepa. This formula differs from case to case: 33 (-) Prao 28.1.642 (NERAIYA): "niyamā chad-disim āhārenti" Prao 28.1.645 (PUDHAVI-KĀIYĀ): "nivvāghāenam ... vāghāyam paducca: ..." Bhao 1.1.15 (ASURA-KUMĀRĀ): I. Bhao 1.1.15 (PUDHAVI -KKÄIYA): "nivväghåenam... vāghāyam paducca: ..." Bhao 2.1.85 (JĪVĀ) : ......) jāva ti-cau-panca-disim" Jio 1.13 (JĪVĀ): "nivvāghāenam ... vāghāyam paducca: ..." (B) (B[!]) (B) The full text of formula B (as distinct from A) appears in our entries. Formula B does of course occur in Prajñāpanā 28.1, however not in the NERAIYĀ niksepa which is the first member of the series and therefore of primary importance for reference purposes. --- Prajñāpanā 28.1.645 has "navaram osanna-karanam na bhannai". A comparison of the respective passages in Prajñāpanā 28.1.642 (osanna-kāranam paducca) and 28.1.645 (osanna-kāraṇam na bhannai) shows that the former is selective (2 colours etc.), while the latter simply gives the complete sets (5 colours etc.). --- The category "jīvā" is not part of HAMG but a separate concept ( see the graph on p. 149 below for HAMG) which occurs alone (e.g. Bhagavati 2.1.85) and in connection with HAMG (e.g. Jīvābhigama 1.13 and Prajñāpana 28.2). The survey of the textual situation already exceeded the scope of the present study (so much more so as we are strictly speaking only concerned with textual matter contained in the Bhagavatī). It is therefore impossible to pursue the matter beyond this point and to enter into a discussion of the contents. The reader is referred to the following: WEBER pp. 156-57 (on Bhagavati 1.1.15), pp. 192-94 (Bhagavati 2.1.84 foll.); SCHUBRING $ 66 (breathing), $ 96 (āhāra), $ 60 (āhārei as opposed to genhai). The equivoca. character of "ähära" is emphasized by SCHUBRING in s 96: "ähara (acc. to Thān. 120a one of the movements of the poggala happening without a force acting from without) means both, the intake of matter for the purpose of reincarnation (comp. DELEU p. 223: XVI 2.1") and the attraction of atoms in general, especially for eating." / text of the
