The most remarkable feature fererence to the number of the
of the above is the statement in rewords of each anga. According to
184 egunavisam A. N. Ed, ekonavinśati, Schol. (also on N), eguṇattisaṁ BCN.
185 Cf. my remarks on anga 6 in reference to this remarkable number. We are led to expect a much higher figure. N. Ed. has kahanagako accord. to Leumann instead of akkhaiyakoḍio.
