negative expression followed by a positive synonym in the secoud foot. We fully agree with M. Senart that in uthawaaluse we have another form with a genitive termination for the locative (cf. purusu in v. 1.). Yoi stands, accorcling to M. Senart, for yo ayun. He thinks that "this reailing is assuredly preferable to yun.” But in both the Dhammapada and the Cdāna varga we have yurā, and we need not necessarily suppose that yoi=yo ayan, since yoi may alike be equated with yra, i being a change from rā, perhaps thronglı an intermediate yo. Sansanasagapamano
Pali saringarnastikanin mano, 'having an irresolute mind,' in a state of indecision.' In a few instances the nasal i is retained before x as in ahinani (=aliiviya), Magavaga, v. 8, and bheiisili (=bhrtsyali), Jaravaga, v, 5. As for the change of ik into y (xugapa=sukappo), see notes on athagio in Magavaga., v. 30), and saghara, op. cit., v. 27.

Noteg.-The expressions of the Prakrit verse are similar to
those of its Pāli counterpart except for tu in place of ca and ho{=khu) in place of re. The verse undervalues 'much learning' without any original vision or perception of truth. In the Pāli Dhammapada we have two other verses, vv. 18-19, where this Buddhist view of learn. ing is incnicated more emphatically and with a direct reference to the established method of Vedic study : cf. “ Bahumpi ve sahilann bhāsnimano" etc. A man who can recite many hymns (sarnhitā) but does not act according to the injunctions laid down therein, is compared to a cowherd sho counts the cattle of others without being able to claim them as bis own. In course of time when Buddha's doctrine and discipline were rehearsed and put together, or when the Buddhist texts were compilerl, the old evil crept into the Buddhist system.
