NOTES.

P. 27, 1 : 1==MS. G. has अहो प्रयोगाभ्यान्तरप्रश्नःThe same MS has the

following speech of Vidûshaka, in answer to the ridicule of the

ascetic : *अयि पण्डितमण्णे किं अण्णं । मोदअखण्डणेवि ण समथ्थातुमं

किं जाणासि । पसण्णचन्दपादसरिसेहिं केसपासेहि एदाणं भोसिआसि ।

P. 28, 1. 2.-परकीअंति करिअ, why, because it belongs to another; because it is not mine. The other reading noticed in our critical

footnotes — परकेरंति करिअ, ” is also what G reads. Adopting this

later version, we must, I think, supply some such word as ‘करणिज्जं-

Why, because I have to do another person's work,

Vidishaka referring to the Parivrâjikâ, who should give the

P. 28, 1. 7.-एत्तिओ मे विहवो भवन्तं सेविदुं, *thus far, and no more can

P. 28, 1. 9–अलमलं परिच्छेदेन. That is, away with the supposition

that what you have done already is all that you can do'; your

ingenuity is not to stop here but has to be exercised still further.

P. 28, 1. 11.-द्वारपिधानामिव धृतेः, ‘ like a shutter of the entrance to

pleasure. On धृति, cf. infra, p. 56, 1. न, ‘धृतिपुष्पमयम्’ &c.

P. 29, 1. 8.-सौधानि अत्यर्थतापात् वलभिपरिचयद्वेषिपारावतानि. That is, अत्यर्थ

तापात् वलभिपरिचये द्वेषशीलाः पारावताः येषां तादृशानि सैधानि (वर्तन्ते).

This means, that the sun had so much heated the sloping roofs

of the palaces that the pigeons had left them, the place where,

when the sun is not hot, they gather (परिचय) in large numbers.

वलभि is the sloping roof of a house (especially that part of

 That is, अयि पण्डितमन्ये किमन्यत् ।
