INTRODUCTION
"tattha nam je te" at the beginning of the tract is worthy of note. We have subdivided each of the four pieces (see the Roman figures), and we have underlined the words pajjattaga/apajjattaga in a way which renders the analysis easier. Material for the study of appa-bahu will be found in DELEU's book on the Bhagavati (Index, p.354, s.v. Relative Frequency). Reference: Jīvābhigama 224-225 (S.II, pp. 241-42). The interlocutors are Mahāvīra and Goyama. A detailed description of the relationships (nikṣepa vis-à-vis paes' ogāḍha, nikṣepa vis-à-vis triad-cum-appābahu) must be reserved for a later occasion.
