THE ANGAS
95
Vedhas about the 5 Great Sins and their consequences on the one hand (dāra 1-5) and the 5 Great Renunciations on the other (dāra 6-10). 5 ahamma- or anhaya-d. (pāna-vaha etc.) and 5 samvara-d. (ahimsa etc.) the latter are followed by five times five bhāvanāo, partly differing from those given in Cūlā 5 of the Ayära.

11. Vivagasuya. 2 suyakkhandha. Thân. 10 calls this Anga Kammavivāgadasão, thus indicating that there were 10 chapters relating to the consequences of Karman which, generally, are expected to be evil ones. It seems that the resp. chapters correspond almost precisely with those we have before us. Later there were other 10 chapters added in order to show the reward for meritorious doings. But, nearly as poor as in Nāyādh. 2, etc., we find but one story with 9 parallels.
1. Duhavivāgā. Mahāvīra tells Goyama about the previous existence of somebody miserable and briefly prophesies his future lives. We learn that 1. Miyaputta a cripple, had once been Ekkai, an unjust governor; 2. Ujjhiya, an evil-doer, has been Gottasa, who had slaughtered cows; 3. Vijaya, a brigand, had once been Ninnaya, who had bought and sold eggs; 4. a certain Sagada had lived as Channiya, who was a venison dealer and a cook; 5. Bahassaidatta, a purohita, had once been Mahesaradatta, a child murderer; 6. Prince Nandisena (in the beginning Nandivaddhana), the police-master Dujjohana; 7. Umbaradatta, now suffering from a severe illness, had once been Dhammantari, a cruel surgeon; 8. Soriyadatta, a fisherman who is suffering from an incurable disease, had once been Siri, a woman master-cook; 9. the tortured Devadattā, King Sihaseņa who burned his wives alive; 10. Amju, now dangerously ill, had once been the courtesan Puḍhavisiri. 2. Suhavivāgā. Prince Subāhu, a layman, had been hospitable towards the pious Sudatta when once he had been a certain Samuha. 2-10 are parallel to 1.
