(ahākada) instead otherwise relating aivattiyā aṇāutti to women. — 200 has no connection to 20* and, moreover, it is a C line. This lets me suppose that the optatives appearing here are not this time used indicatively, but are authentic and that the line stems from another context. The same seems to me to be certain about 2 12. To conclude from the similarity of the first half to 38, 31 and 19, this line does not refer to Mahāvira, but asserts a general monk's rule.
We are now already in the 2nd uddeśa, the beginning lines of all of which, with the exception of 1', evince metrical deficiencies: 1 makes up a sentence unit in itself, whereas one expects a demonstrative dependent clause. The next lines read as if somehow pieced together out of prose series in the manner of Ācār. II 2 2. 8, Jin. 89 and the conclusion of Aup. 38. That is why, although it is also not structured according to A, 4* is to be connected to 1", where the desired correspondence to jāo sejjāo appears in eehim sayaņehim.
If one can not see 126 as a continuation of 12", then one finds it in 1586. Since it is a C type, stanza 14 characterizes itself as an insertion which, in the spondee form of the 4th foot in a reveals an error (Jacobi 1886, p. 336).
According to its content the 3rd uddeśa is the most uniform; its stanzas display a form mixture which I have above contrasted with the A, type only occasionally mixed with A). A disturbance of the context does not take place here.
On the other hand, 1 of the 4th uddeśa is in direct contradiction to 1"; the B line is linked to this A, line only because of the word roga. - 4 should not be connected with 4* because this (63) would mean that Mahāvīra would have eaten only that summer long in the manner described, whereas it is said in 5 that this lasted eight months long. Rather, one has to bring 30 and 4together. The former line appeared after 38 under the influence of the same train of thought which already appears in 35, 17ff. Stanzas 4 to 5 are of the type A2. It is doubtful whether with 6", where for a long section the type A, is again employed, also another fragment begins. There need not be a contradiction if one relates the half or full month abstention from drinking to those eight months and the other large pauses to the time afterwards. --- From 14* to the end another context emerges which sounds more like the 2nd uddeśa; with the exception of the first and second) lines, these lines then also belong to the type Az.
At the places where various contexts encounter one another, the same words or the same sound appear repeatedly in the bordering lines. Thus, 1 1 and 2' have tamsi hemante common to them, 70 and 8nâbhibhās", 176 and 18" addakkhū, and apart from this savva-kamm'āvahão and savvaso kammunā ya here echo each other; thus from Nāi-sue and Nāya-putte the disturbance of the only possible sequence 9" 109 95 106 can be explained. In the second uddeśa the word āsaņa joins the first two lines. Only the following observation is necessary, in order
