Dhammapada Verses in Uttarai haya 9
169
“Ao ignorant man may eat but a blade of Kuša-grags evry month (for the sake of his penance), he will not counter-balance the sixteenth part (of merits) of him who possesses the well-taught dharma" Pali Dbp 5 11 (70) of Bala-vaggo :
mase mase kus'-aggena balo bhunjeyya bhojanam
na so sank hata-dhammānam kalaq agghati soļasım || Patna PK Dhp 20 14 of Sahasra --Varggab (fol. 2ub 1-2)
mase mase kusaggrena balo bhufijeya bhojanam !
Da tam sakkbáta-dbamminam kalum agghati podasim 11 Uv 24, 20E of P-yalayarga Berohard, p 305
mgse mase Kuśagrena yo bi bhunjita bhojanam
na tat svakhyata-dharmasya kaium arghati podasım 11 My III 435. 19-20 - Sahasra-varge verso 14 in Senart's edition.
mase mase Kugagrena bglo bhumjoya bhojapap!
Da so svākhyāta-dharmanam kalam arghatı odasım 11 A survey of these parallels shows that Utt 9 44c and Uv 24, 20Bc draw closer to each other with sukkhaya-dhammassa and syukhyata-dhar masya respectively, while the versions of Pall Dhp, Patna Pk. Dhp, and My go together in regard to-dharmanam in pada c Wo already noticed to $. 2 of this article that the versions of Utt. and Uv agree in a particlar wording of respective padas.
The above study has shown that our Ult-chapter contains very ancle. pt material belonging to the common goomic tradition of Ancient India, crossing sectional boundaries
