4. Deleu's translation: He assents avvābāha in the sense of the
suppressing of corporeal deficiencies caused by complications in winds, bile and phelgm'. (p. 246). It is obvious that in this passage the term avvābāha refers only to a temporary state of health of Mahāvīra, as confirmed by Abhayadeva Sūri's comment: 'avvābāham' ti śarīrabādhānām abhāvah. (p. 757) It may also be noted that the term avvābādha appears in this passage in Bhagavaī along with jattā and javanijjam, the two words that appear regularly in the vandanaka formula used by a layman in greeting a monk.
