167. Is it the work roferred to ? The word vedliam is said here to meas about the same as vaikalikom, "belonging to the evening" (vikale 'parahne).1046
1, dumapupphia drumapuspika, 5 v. Comparison of the dhamma with a flowering tree. Cf. anga 2, 3, 1, uttarajih. chap. 10.
2. sāmanna puvva, śrāmaṇyapūrvikā, 11 vy. Of firmness, dhrti. 3. khuddidyårå, ksullikacára, 15 wv; să dhștir ácare vidheyā.
4. cajjivaniyajjh.,1047 saa jivanikhādhy., i.e. doubtless "nika yajjh., see above, pp. 71, 72. In two chapters, the first of which, in prose, begins suar me.. and treats of the 6 grades of the four elements (earth, water, light, air), plants (vaņasai) and insects (tasa); and of the 5 mahavvayas to be observed in reference to them. To these five a sixth, the raibhoaņāu veramanaṁ (command against eating at night), is added. Chapter 2, in 29 vv., treats of the six forms of activity (walking, standing, sitting, lying, eating, speaking) necessary for these 6 mahav.
5. pirdesanā, in 2 uddešakas, with 100 and 50 vv., bhiksåsodhih, of the collection of the necessities of life and of rules for eating; see anga 1, 1. To this is joined, (79) according to the Vidhi prapa, the pindanijjutti (mülas. 4); ittho piotti oyarai (oinnā v. 7 of the jogavihāna).
6. dharmärthakamajjhayaņam, also mahācārakathakhyar; in 69 vv. -This trivarga (tivaggo also in the Abhidhānappadipikā) which plays so important a role in epic literature (MBhär., Rāmāy. Manu) is not known to the Veda. Among the Jains and Buddhists, by whom dharma and artha are often brought into connection, though in quite a different signification (artha sense, explanation), the trivarga does not claim any place whatsoever. It is probable that we must connect it with the three gunas : sattva, rajas and tamas. But in that case artha would respond to rajas, kama to tamas, though käma suits rajas much better. Has the Platonic trinity kalov, CALMov, mv which is Cicero's honestum, utile, dulce, wandered to India ? .
7. vakkasuddhi, väkyasuddhi, 57 vv. 8. åyårapanihi, dcārapranidhi, 64 v.
1046 In aAga 2 the word means vaidarikam; in painaa 5 the meaning is not wear. 100 dhammapannatti va, in the Vidhiprapa.
