________________ 92 DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS the Order 17. Āinna. Some wild horses (āinna) ignorantly fall into the trap laid out for them and get caught, while others which are clever remain free 18 Sumsumā S., the daughter of a merchant, was raped and killed by a brigand, called Cilaya. Her father and his sons discover her body and cat of it from want of food Dhanna, her father, later becomes a monk. 19 Pundarīya P., a layman, is a lay king, succeeds in persuading his younger brother Kandariya to remain firm in his monkhood, though fickleness and illness have befallen him. On the next occasion, however, he is not equally successful and the two brothers change places, the one taking the other's position, but K. dies soon after The 2nd suyakkhandha has 10 vagga, which in pairs consist of 5.54.32 4 8 ajghayana This comes up to 206 ajjh. But no more than the 1st kahā of the 1st vagga (247a) was completed. With names and places changed it serves as a cliché for the whole remaining part (250b) Having heaid Pāsa's sermon, Kāli takes the vows with a certain nun, Pupphacūlā, as her superior. But she cannot bring herself to desist from tending her body as she is demanded to do, and so she goes her own way. Hence she is not granted salvation, and since her self-castigation fails to reach the full mark she is reborn as the goddess Kāli When as such she approaches Mahāvīra respectfully, he gives Goyama an account of her past and her future.
