Anupruvina=l'āli unuprbbenta, ly degrees', gradually'. For prn=par, cf. drnguli in v. i supru, This svord indicates that Buddhism, ijke Brālimavism, provided for a graduated sys en of religious training: anirīlasikkha, withicitta. rikkha and adhimuññāsikkhā. The subject is discussed at lengih in the Garaka-Moygallāna Sutta (Majjhima, III., No. 107). 6 [sudhnsa hi sada phagu' sudhasaposadhu- sada] (sudhasa suyi]*(kainasa sa)'da samajate? vata o (CF9, 29) Cf. Vatthûpama Sutta, Majjhina, I. p. 39 :--- Suddhassa ve sadā pbaggu, suddhass'uposatho sada, Suddhassa sūcikammassa sada sampajjate ratam. -which is translated by the Bhikkhu Silacāra :* Upon the pure smiles constant May, The pure keep endless holy day ; The pure, by actions pure coufest. Their every offering is blest". Notes.--The Pali parallel to the above verse belongs to a group of stanzas in which the Buddha deprecates the washing of sin in the sacred waters, e.9., of the Bālıukā, the Adhikakka, the Gayā (or Phaggu), the Sundarikā, the Sarassati, the Parāga and the Bāhumail, as well as the Brāhmanic method of sabbath-keeping. The verse teaches that a man is really purified by his pare. actions and that by doing pure deeds be keeps the sablath. Such a protest as this against the Brähmanic faith is not peculiar to the Buddhist, as it can be traced, though in a less pronnunced form, in the Mun; 'aka, the Kutha and other Upanishads, which may be supposed to embody the views of the Mundasävakas, the Gotamakas and other Bhikkhu M.
