APPENDIX : Schubring's ĀCĀRĀNGA ANALYSIS
245 fellow-monk who has not sought for me, who is ill and has the wish, shall offer a service to the latter.
(4) Setting aside the prohibition I shall acquire [food etc.) and permit [them] to be prepared for myself or I shall do either of these things, or I shall do neither."
(5) A monk who thinks as follows: "I shall give to other monks food etc. that are prepared for themselves and permit them to be prepared for themselves, or I shall do either of these things, or I shall do neither; (6) [or] with this remnant of food etc. that is unobjectionable and
ndergone transformation I shall offer a service - so as to do it - to a fellow-monk who has the wish : again, with the same I on my part - in case I have the wish - let a fellow-monk offer a service to me.”
(7) [Such] a monk cannot [with this aim in view] convey or offer food etc. to a layman [and] cannot offer him a service - in case while doing so he undertakes [calculating] consideration in respect of the latter,
(8) but he can well do all this to some (other) monk.”
The sentence 7 is a redundant part - repetition of 1. Even outwardly it demonstrates itself to be a secondary addition through the ending āga in adhāyamīņāe which in our text occurs only in a stray fashion (paggahiyatarāga, muhuttāga) and is characteristic of a later period of the language.]]
B. Prose-Style : Warning against an inexactitude in speech and against futile speculation. 33, 3f. 7-17. The parallel passage enables us to grasp the meaning of the first lines where Jacobi's translation (by supplying the second statement) corrects his edition.
C. śloka-Style : The doctrine is appropriate for all the life-stages 33, 18-25. 34, 24-300/1, and indeed for the second 35, 5-10C/2, for the third 35, 11-16. 36, 8f.C/3.
Loneliness is most suitable for chastization ; there, through asceticism are attained the higher and the highest stages of freedom-in-deach. 36, 10-13. 27(evam). 37, 2. 38, 1-4. 23. 40, 8.C/4
D. Triştubh-Style : Warning against violence. 33, 26f. 34, 4f. E. Prose-Style : Warning against violence. 33, 28. 34, 3f.
