Jaina Sutras, Part II (SBE45): Uttarâdhyayana: First Lecture. On Discipline

2:2 Niôgatthî = niyôgarthin. It is always explained and usually means môkshârthin. But here and in verse 20 niyôga has perhaps its common meaning: appointment, order. In that case we must translate: he who waits for an order. 2:3 Kandâliya, literally, he should not demean himself like a Kândâla. The commentators, however, divide the word in kanda, violent, hot, and alîka, untrue, false. This explanation is too artificial to be accepted, though the meaning comes to the same thing. 3:1 Buddhânam, i.e. the superiors. 3:2 Palhatthiyâ = paryastikâ: so that his clothes cover his knees and shanks. 4:1 Pakshapinda. 4:2 Niyâgatthî or niôgatthî. The commentator explains it, as in verse 7, by 'desiring liberation.' 4:3 Ukkuduô. The commentator explains it by muktâsanah, kâranatah pâdapuñkhanâdigatah. 4:4 In illustration of this the commentator (Dêvêndra) quotes the following verse: êsha bandhyâsutô yâti khapushpakritasêkharah | mrigatrishnâmbhasi snâtah sasasriṅgadhanurdharah || There goes the son of a barren woman, bearing a chaplet of sky-flowers, having bathed in the water of a fata morgana, and carrying a bow made of a hare's horn. 5:1 Samara, explained by the commentator barbers' shop or smithy, with the addition that it includes all places of low people. 5:2 Buddhâh. 6:1 Phâsuya, translated prâsuka, and explained: free from living beings. 6:2 Parakada, prepared for the householder or some other person, but not for the monk himself.
