THE ANGAS
tries to intimidate Kāmakesa, but fails. 3. Culanīpiyā does not allow his meditations being disturbed though a god kills his three sons, but he drives away the ogre who threatens his mother. Yet he ought not to have interrupted his meditation. 4. 5. The same about Suradeva and Cullasayaga with the only difference that it is their health and property (resp.) that are endangered. 6. Kundakoliya defends his creed against a god who is an adherent of Gosala. 7. Both Mahavira and Gosāla vie with each other in winning the Ājīviya Saddālaputta and his wife. The latter is threatened by a god as was the mother of Culanipiyā. 8. Mahāsaga when fasting refuses to be seduced by his wife and prophesies her death and subsequent abode in hell. His fault was, so says Mahāvīra, that he gave her a reply at all. 9.10 are repetitions of 1 with the names of Nandinipiyā and Sälihīpiyā.

8. Antagaḍadasão Legends partly dating from the time of Aritthanemi and dealing with individuals who "put an end to dxistence" (though this does not apply to the first story). dasão in the title rightly (comp. Anga 7) means groups of 10, as are formed by 4 chapters out of 8. The chapters are called vagga and contain original legends (I-VIII) and such running parallel to them, but the former have been distributed unequally among the vagga. As to disposition and contents the Antag. are closely related to Anga 9. In the time of Thāna 506a, where the chapters of both Angas are enumerated, the contents were quite different 1
