before Mahâvîra; to claim more is misleading. There are other objections to certain features of Professor Jacobi's most interesting reconstructing of the early Yoga, but these must be dealt with on another occasion."

For other dates see L. de La Vallee Poussin, L'Inde aux Temps des Mauryas, pp. 51, 52. The Upali Suttanta clearly asserts an illness, if not the death, of Mahâvîra ; Chalmers, SBB. v.p. 278, n. 2. See Winternitz, Geschichte der Indischen Litteratur, ii p. 360. f. Cunda here appears as a novie, and so also in the Pasadika Suttanta, which marks him out from his description in the Mahaparinibbana Suttanta. The Samgiti Suttanta does not use this term of him, and seems to have been influenced by the Mahaparinibbana in this point ; compare Franks, Digha Nikaya, p. 229. Two Cundas can hardly be admitted, though the Mahaparinibbana is certainly confused. The Samgiti sets the scene in Pava, but under quite other circumstances than those of the Mahaparinibbana, namely the consecration of the new Mote-Hall of the Mallas. This indicates that the author had no desire to connect the episode recorded with the death of the Buddha also. The location at Samagama seems the more accurate account. The fact that Cunda of Pava brought the news to Ananda no doubt encouraged the idea that the declaration of views took place at that town. Hoernle, ERE, i. pp. 267 ff., held that the Jain division into Digambara and Svetambara may be traced back to the beginning of Jainism, being due to the antagonism of Mahâvîra and Gosala, the representatives of two hostile sects. See Chimanlal J. Shah, Jainism in Northern India, pp. 60-5. Chimanlal J Shah, op cit., p. 78. IA. ix, p. 160. Jacobi (p. 561) ascribes Pava to the Sakyas, but it is clear that it was a Malla town. The Kalpa Sutra ascribed to Bhadrabahu is clearly not by that author, and is wholly uncertain in date : see Winternitz. Geschichte der Indischen Litterature, i, pp. 309 f. SBA. 1930, pp. 326, 327. See Kalpa Sutra, sections 161-4. It is dubious if the Bhagavati, vii, 9, 2, can be understood, as by Professor Jacobi (p. 564) as meaning that the Mallakis and Licchavis were the chiefs of the Kasis and Kosalas.
