________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.orgAcharya Shri Kailashsagarsuri Gyanmandir ( 77 ) 21 ['jiyati hi rayaradha sucitra" adha sarira bi jara [uveti kaO na ta tu dharma ca ja]['ra (u)veti'] [Foot-notes: Fr. C 1. * Fr. C xxvi.] a. Jiyali jiryate. 6. The which begins the third pâda is of a somewhat peculiar form; I do not, however, see any other possible reading.

C 1. For this beginning of line this fragment has preserved but few traces of heads of letters. I believe, however, that in the light of the Pâli and on the analogy of what follows, the letters, such as I have transcribed, may be restored with certainty. • Fr. C 11.] Cf. Dhammap., 348. a. The spelling muju corresponds not to the imperative muñea which the Pâli has, but to the present participle muncan, which is so suitable to the con struction. b. I have enclosed the last pâda in parenthesis; the traces that remain of it, permit, in the light of the Pali version, of an interpretation as I have given. But evidently I cannot vouch for the several details. For Private And Personal
