4. paccakkhāņakiriyā, pratyākhyānakriya.
5. in S. Āv. v. anagaraṁ (rasuya S.) ; here however correctly aņāyārasutam, anācāraśrutam, in 34 vv.; it opens as follows : adaya baṁbhaceraṁ ca asupanne (āśuprajñaḥ panditaḥ) imaṁ caram, assim (asmin) dhamme aņāyāraṁ n'āyareyyā kayā i vi //
6. Addai jjam Ārdrakiyam, in 55 vv. A sermon of Ardraka, the son of a merchant who, according to the scholiast, from the sight of a picture of Jina sent to him as a debt of gratitude by Abhayakumăra (the son of the king Sreņika of Rājagsha), obtained jātismaranam and turned to pravrajyå so as to receive the pratyekabuddha dignity, etc. The sermon appears to be addressed to Gośāla. In the last 'verse : buddhassa āņāe imaḥ samāhim (tattvajñasya śri Virasya ajñāyāṁ...), buddha is used directly as a name of Vira. [266]
