Sec. 2. LINGUISTIC CHANGES
dravya such as astitva, guņavattva, etc. Therefore the inclusion of adini is herein required. The word tad in II:(20) evinces ambiguity. The Jaina view of the construction of the lower world is explicitly conveyed by supplying the word prthutaran to III:(1). The svetāmbara reading of IV:9 clarifies the meaning better. IV:13 offers the clear-cut Jaina view of the plurality of the sun and the moon. As to the aphorism IV:52(41), the precise meaning is attained by the Svetāmbara reading The word pariņāma, leśyā-pariņāma, yoga-pariņāma, etc. therefore atma-pariņāma in VI:15 expresses the purport more exactly. Sangha is an independent concept, which is required to be in the sūtra VI:(24). Ādāna-niksepa is a technical term, which is better to be retained as it is in VII:29[34]. Regarding the sutra VII:32 (37), the reading on nidāna-karapāni is preferred because all the rest of the compounds are made out of nouns and verbs. Tad-gati is the subject matter under consideration in x:6(6), therefore it is in this context necessary to be stated.

The Digambara sūtras here convey the purport of the text more exactly either by adding the explanatory words used in the Bhāşya, by dropping the unnecessary wording from or by supplying the minimum wording to the Svetāmbara readings. VIII:7 and 14 have to refer way back to I:9 and II:4 for the word adi.
