· C. CAILLAT. Fasting unto Death according to āyāranga-Sutta and to
some Paiņņayas (A. N. UPADHYB et alii, Mahāvīra and His Teachings, p.113-117). -Bombay, 1977.
While the Āyāranga 1 (=Bambhacerāim, chap. 8) exclusively considers the monk's carrier, and insists on the necessity of a life-long preparation progressively leading to samlehaņā, the Paiņņayas mainly insist on the ultimate struggle which has to be fought at the hour of death. Nevertheless, though "the ways to Perfection have changed, the Goal has remained the fame".
