________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.orgAcharya Shri Kailashsagarsuri Gyanmandir ( 129 ) Notes.--Iu M. Senart's adjustrient of the plates of the Kba rostli Vs., line A?, 1, with the reading "..mudenamakabha deran ası mill(i) gat.", appears as a remnant of a verse of which he was able to trace no parallel. The discovery of the connexiou of A, 1 with A?, 17 is a momentous event in the compilation of the present edition. We need not point out at length the errors to which the French scholar was led on account of this oversight on his part. Makabha = Päli Magharā. The aspiration of b compensates for the change of gh into ki through an intermediate 9. Samidhi= Pāli samihin, which may be substituted as a synonym for the Pāli setthatam, cf. samiddhin att no, Dhr. v. 81. Prasojhali= Pāli pasarsanti, Sk. prasansanti. M. Senart assures us of the correctness of his reading. But we should have expected a reading like prašavsati, remembering that in our text the nn is changed into a before 8. 12 (hi)'na dhama na sev(e)'a pramadena na savasi michadithi na roy(e)'a na sia lokavadhano O*. (A?, 2) Cf. Dhammap., v. 167 + (Lokav., v. 1) : Hinam dhammani na seveyya pamádena na samvase Micchădiţthi na seveyya na siyā lokavaddhano. Notes. In this verse, which is exactly similar in expression to its Pali counterpart except for royea (=roceyya) in place of seveyya, we bave an exhortation not to have anything to do with sensuality, thoughtlessness, wrong views and popularity. 13 yo tu puvi pramajati pacha su na pramajati so ita loku ohaseti abha muto va suriu o (A”,3) Cf. Dhanımap., v. 172 † (Lokav., v. 6), = Majjhima, II. p. 105=Therag., v. 871: Yo ca pubbo pamajjitvă pacchā 60 nn-ppaniajjati So'm lokun pablāseti abblā mutto vị cundimi. !, :,, 17 Supplicil by us, somo in accordance with M. Sonart's suggeations. For Private And Personal
