________________ 262 KALPA SÔTRA. things animate, inanimate, and of a mixed state ; with regard to space : in a village or a town or in a wood or in a field or a threshing-floor or a house or a court-yard; with regard to time: in a Samaya or an Avalikå or in the time of a respiration or in a Stoka or in a Kshana or in a Lava or in a Muharta or in a day or in a fortnight or in a month or in a season or in a half year or in a year or in a long space of time; with regard to affects : in wrath or in pride or in deceit or in greed or in fear or in mirth or in love or in háte or in quarrelling or in calumny or in tale-bearing or in scandal or in pleasure or pain or in deceitful falsehood, &c. (all down to) or in the evil of wrong belief. There was nothing of this kind in the Venerable One. (118) The Venerable One lived, except in the rainy season, all the eight months of summer and winter, in villages only a single night, in towns only five nights; he was indifferent alike to the smell of ordure and of sandal, to straw and jewels, dirt and gold, pleasure and pain, attached neither to this world nor to that beyond, desiring neither life nor death, arrived at the other shore of the samsara, and he exerted himself for the suppression of the defilement of Karman. (119) i Ghare vå, omitted in my edition. • Different names of divisions of time; a Stoka contains seven respirations, a Kshana many (bahutara) respirations (according to another commentary a Kshana contains six Nâdikâs, it is the sixth part of a Ghall), a Lava contains seven Stokas, and a Muharta seventy Lavas. This system of dividing time differs from all other known; compare Colebrooke, Misc. Essays, II°, pp. 540,541. Wilson, Vishnu Purâna, l', p. 47, note 2.-Expunge pakkhe và in my edition. • The same passage occurs in the Aupapatika Sätra (ed. Leumann, $ 87), but without an indication that it is not complete.
