NOTES ON THE MPCH
I. cauttisaisaya or cauvvihaisaya: the thirty-four supernatural attributes of a tirthankara have a fourfold classification.
5. duviha-sikkho: the twofold teaching is explained by the comm. of B as grahana-sikṣa and asevana-sikṣā chaj-jiva-nikāya: the six categories of beings endowed with life are pṛthivi-kāyika, ap-kāyika, teja-kāyika, vayu-kayika, vanaspati-kayika and trasa-kayika.
10. bhog'-uvabhogesu: bhoga is technically the enjoyment of a consumable thing, upabhoga (or paribhoga) of a nonconsumable thing cf. Manavijaya's comm. on the Dharma-samgraha (Devchand Lalbhai Series ed., p. 70): sakrd bhujyata iti bhoga, anna-malya-tambula-vilepanodvartana-snana-pānādi; punaḥ punaḥ bhujyata iti
vanita-vastrålamkara-gṛha-sayanāsana-vāhanādi.
24. videhi: all the MSS. have this reading but should it not perhaps be emended to vippehi?
The
65. Barbara coast where the MPC has Pārasa coast. Barbaras seem to have had a definite geographical identification with an area to the north-west of India.
113. Savvattha: Sarvartha is the name of a vimana in the deva-loka.
122. Ghammãe: Gharma is the name of the first pṛthvi or mansion of hell. These mansions are divided into patthadas or compartments.
237. khallam: to be explained as a Gujaratism, seems the least improbable of the numerous variants offered here. The idea of 'leprosy' must have arisen from an orthographic error.
343. ghaya-unna: ghṛta-pūrṇa both here and in the MPCJ replaces the pupa of the MPC. Apparently it means some sort of cake fried in ghee cf. Hindi ghebar.
