________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.orgAcharya Shri Kailashsagarsuri Gyanmandir (227; langnages to find a singular verbal form used along with 2. plural nominative and rice versa (see v. 15 infra). Ya a(ya)sa=Pali yail āyaran, that which is made of iron.' In M. Senart's opinion the metre proves that the error of the copyist does not consist in a simple inversion yaasa for ayası, but, as the Pāli text indicates, in the omission of the second ya, ya asa for yn ayasa. For darave and babaka, see M. Senart's notes (p. 80). Verse 9.-Drupamachu= Pāli appannñcan, Sk. anspramocyam. The change of dugpra to drupa may be viewed either as a case of inversion or as an instance of false analogy with druracha runirarana (Citav., v. 5. pp. 142, 147). 10 ye rakarata anuvatati sotu saigata.. eta b(i)' ch(i)tvana parivrayati anavchino kamasuba prahai (0)* (CYO, 33) Cf. Dhammap., v. 347 † (Tanlıāv., v. 14) :Yo rāgalattånupatanti sotar sayari katam makkatako va jälan Etam pi chetvāna vajauti dhirā anapekhino sabbadukkham pabaya. Cf. Fa-kheu-pi-u, sec. Xxxn. (" Lust"), p. 181 :“The fool regarding the outward form as an excellency, how can he know the falseness of the thing, for like a silkworm enveloped in its own 'net (cocoon), so is he entangled in his own love of sensual pleasure." Notes.---This verse sums up the teaching of the two previous ones and is differentiated from them by the simile of & spider entangled in its own net. The probable restoration of the second foot would be snigata mrakatao* va jala. In rakarata, k stands for 9; cf. kata for gata (Magav. vv. 4-7, pp. 101-107). Saigata= Päli sayainkatan, Sk. svayamkslai, made by self. The change is quite familiar--Erom yam) to i (cf. nai for ndyan, Apramadav., vv. 24, 25, pp. 138, 139) and from ik to g (cf. paga for parika, Apramalav., v. 23, p. 137). Supplied by us.
