ANALYSIS
47
As compared with davvao, the davva-loga type to be described in the next Section is more uniform and more rigid in its structure. The main difference lies of course in the wording of the determinant ("davvao" - "davva-loga"). The common element of the davvao and davva-loga types is the programme (Āmukha) which is missing in the case of the Niramukha patter. However, from the point of view of contents, Sâmukha: davvao and Nirāmukha are closely related. Both are connected with the "lore of quantity" (ege loe, asamkhejjão joyana-kodā-kodio, etc.) and with Syādvāda (Ajñānavāda) elements (atthi puna sa-ante / n'atthi puna se ante; siya sāsayā / siya a-sāsayā).
Cases of borrowing (producing doublets) occur twice in the davvao area. The jñāna-pentad was borrowed by the Bhagavatī from Nandī, and '85-9 were borrowed from Bhagavati by Sthāna. The Entry is always derived from the primary occurrence, and the secondary occurrences (borrowings) have numbers (''No.'), but no paragraphs ("8"').
There are two instances classified by us as "davvao without execution" (see Nos. 58 and 67 in the General Catalogue). The second instance has two new formulas for the determinants: "bhava-paccaio", "guna-paccaio", as well as "davve", ''khitte", "kāle" (locatives).
It may be objected that here and elsewhere the number of clearly related specimens is too small to justify the formulation of a specific type. But "types", however small, are certainly more practical than a maze of cross-references.

SAMUKHA, DAVVA-LOGA TYPE
From the point of view of phraseology, the davva-loga type is distinguished from the davvao type by the combination of catch-word and determinant (e.g. davva-loga, written as davva-LOGA) and by the "repeated questions in the execution. However, the second characteristic does not occur invariably. Before going into details we supply a demonstration 29, text on pp.98-99): -
"What is OMOYARIYA?"
"CMPYARIYĀ is twofold: OMDYARIYĀ with respect to dravya (substance) and OMOYARIYA with respect to bhāva (non-physical nature)."
""What is OMOYARIYĀ with-respect-to-dravya?" "OMOYARIYĀ with-respect-to-dravya is twofold: OMOYARIYA W-r-t-d with respect to implements and OMOYARIYĀ w-r-t-d with respect to food and drink." "What is OMOYARIYĀ w-r-t-d with respect to implements?" "OMPYARIYA w-r-t-d w-r-t-i is threefold: one garment, one alms-bowl, no enjoyment of these implements." This is OMOYARIYA W-r-t-dw-r-t-i. "What is OMOYARIYĀ w-r-t-d with respect to
