NOTES OF
eightfold :-315937, 37mita, TTTTTTTA, TAR 17, T7927, 3721892, ERIN and A. If we take questa te joi, there would be some difficulty in enumerating the eight types of the question. To keep in tact the Sanskrit usage and idiom I have taken freedom while rendering this gāthā in Sanskrit in the chāyā. 4o3rFat 750 will be rendered by प्रश्नाक्षरैः शकुनेन in the chāya. The author
clearly wants to distinguish between पण्हअक्खर and अक्खर. 154 All the three MSS. have got the following stanzas with
the numbers mentioned against them :
अहिमंतिय सयवारं कंसयवरभायणम्मि आलत्तं । इगवण्णगोमएणं अट्ठहियसपण जविऊण ॥ १५३ ॥ पक्खालिय करचरणादी जदि पुण आउरस्स सम(सं)लेवे । पढमं गोमुत्तेणं पुणोवि खीरेण रोयगहियस्स ॥ पक्खालिय करजुअलं चिंतह दिण-मास-बरिसाई ॥ १५५ ॥
Stanza 153 is the same in all the three MSS. But stanzas 154 and 155 have been composed out of six quarters. Thus the scribe seems to have left out one whole second half of one of the two stanzas and looking to the metre it is the stanza 154 that has lost its second half as पढमं गोमुत्तेणं पुणोवि खीरेण रोयगहियस्स is fit to be the first half even looking from the context. So stanza 154 has been printed as one having lost its second half on account of the scribe's oversight. The metre is
मुखविपुला. 156 Contrast the second half of the stanza with the stanzas,
129-134, of YS (See App. XIII). The same statement is also repeated in the second half of the st. 195 of the Ristasamuccaya. This and the other instances show that the author clearly represents a definitely different tradition. The conceptions of the Sanicakka, Āyacakka and the Avakahadācakka are some of such
instances. 160-169 F through its is elaborately discussed in ten stanzas
from 160 to 169. I have quoted below relevant passages on Āyas from NJC as they are likely to throw much light on the subject :
