There is some confusion in the grammatical construction of this paragraph, as well as of $ 113; for Mahâvîre .. devehim .. abhitthunamânâ . . vayâsî must be interpreted, as if the text had: Mahâvîram .. devâ . . abhitthuņamânâ vayâsî (Mahâvîram.. devâḥ . . abhishțuvantaḥ .. avâdishuḥ). It is generally known that in modern dialects of India a similar confusion of the active and passive construction has become the rule in the construction of the perfect. Compare the following examples taken from Etherington's Hindî grammar p. 94: larkhene ghorâ dekchâ the boy saw the horse'. larkhene ghorê dekhî 'the boy saw the mare'. gurune celeko sikhâyâ the teacher taught the pupil' kisanne bailomko becâ hai, the peasant has sold the bullocks'. rânîne apnê ek sahelêko bulâyâ 'the queen called one of her attendants'. Perhaps the earliest trace of this curious construction may be recognised in that of our passage.
111) E. Müller (Beiträge zur Grammatik des Jainaprâkrit p. 50) asserts that in the Kalpasútra bhaddante is always written instead of bhadanta, and that, consequently, Childers must be wrong in maintaining the identity of bhadante and bhante. He concurs with Prof. E. Kuhn in deriving this word from bhonto, bhavantas, or bhagavantas. Dr. Müller's argument is wrong, because, wherever bhaddamte occurs in the Kalpasůtra and in any other Jaina work I have consulted, it does not stand for bhamte, but for bhaddam te, and it is rendered bhadram te by the commentators. They render bhamte by bhadantas, and I consider their explanation preferable to that of Prof. E. Kuhn, because *bhonto could only be changed in *bhunto. The change of the Samskrit diphthong o to a is nearly unheard of in Pâli and Prakrit.
