Maranata hi jivitu=Páli warananturn hi jirilum, Sk. maranántart hi jirlari («f. Divyâvadāna, ). 100 ; Mahā. vastu, 1II. p. 183; Rāmāyala, 11. 105. v. 14; l'dāuavarga, 1. v. 22; l'a-klieu-king, I. p. 41 ; Vasubandhu's Gathasarigraha, v. 23). This corresponds to the expressions n'atthi thuvaril thiti (Dhammap., v. 147). anityari (Manu. 1], 77), and jātā jūlā marantidha eramdhammā hi pūņino (Therag., v. 553). Note how this idea of life ending with death is expanded in a verse incorporated in the Rāmāyana, II. 105, st. 16 and the Divyåvadāda, p. 100:
Sarve kşuyântă nicayāḥ patanântâs-sanucchrayah
Samyoga-vipravogântă maraņântam ca jivitam. Life and death are one of the three y'airs of constant and opposed phenomena whereby Makkhali Gosäla, the third great leader of the Ājivikas, characterised the organic world, the two remaining pairs being those of gain and loss, and pleasure and pain (lūbhan, alūbhart, suhan, dukhari, jireyai, maranań). The Buddha conceived of eight principles (attha loka-lhammā), divisible into four pairs : lābho, alūlho, yuso, ayaso, rindā, pasarā, sukhari, dukkhan, to which was afterwards added another pair riz., jirilain, imranan, as can be seen from the Thera gāthā, vv. 664-670. All these come under Pakudha Kaccâyana's two principles, snkhe, ilukhc (Digha, I. p. 56).
