[Footnote 331:  The text is also found in the Samyutta-Nikaya.]

[Footnote 332:  Concisely stated as suffering, the cause of suffering, the suppression of suffering and the method of effecting that suppression.]

[Footnote 333:  Writers on Buddhism use this word in various forms, arhat, arahat and arahant.  Perhaps it is best to use the Sanskrit form arhat just as karma and nirvana are commonly used instead of the Pali equivalents.]

[Footnote 334:  I.15-20.]

[Footnote 335:  Brahmayoni.  I make this suggestion about grass fires because I have myself watched them from this point.]

[Footnote 336:  This meal, the only solid one in the day, was taken a little before midday.]

[Footnote 337:  I. 53-54.]

[Footnote 338:  His father.]

[Footnote 339:  I.e. the Buddha’s former wife.]

[Footnote 340:  Half brother of the Buddha and Suddhodana’a son by Mahaprajapati.]

[Footnote 341:  Jataka, 356.]

[Footnote 342:  Mahavag.  III. 1.]

[Footnote 343:  Thus we hear how Dasama of Atthakam (Maj.  Nik. 52) built one for fifteen hundred monks, and Ghotamukha another in Pataliputta, which bore his name.]

[Footnote 344:  Maj.  Nik. 53.]

[Footnote 345:  Cullavag.  VI. 4.]

[Footnote 346:  Probably sheds consisting of a roof set on posts, but without walls.]

[Footnote 347:  Translated by Rhys Davids, American Lectures, pp. 108 ff.]

[Footnote 348:  E.g. Maj.  Nik. 62.]

[Footnote 349:  But in Maj.  Nik.  II. 5 he says he is not bound by rules as to eating.]

[Footnote 350:  Maj.  Nik. 147.]

[Footnote 351:  In an exceedingly curious passage (Dig.  Nik.  IV.) the Brahman Sonadanda, while accepting the Buddha’s teaching, asks to be excused from showing the Buddha such extreme marks of respect as rising from his seat or dismounting from his chariot, on the ground that his reputation would suffer.  He proposes and apparently is allowed to substitute less demonstrative salutations.]

[Footnote 352:  Cullavagga V. 21 and Maj.  Nik. 85.]

[Footnote 353:  Visakha, a lady of noted piety.  It was probably a raised garden planted with trees.]

[Footnote 354:  Maj.  Nik. 110.]

[Footnote 355:  Dig.  Nik.  No. 2.  Compare Jataka 150, which shows how much variation was permitted in the words ascribed to the Buddha.]

[Footnote 356:  Sam.  Nik.  XLII. 7.]

[Footnote 357:  Mahaparinib-sutta, 6. 20.  The monk Subhadda, in whose mouth these words are put, was apparently not the person of the same name who was the last convert made by the Buddha when dying.]

[Footnote 358:  His personal name was Upatissa.]

[Footnote 359:  This position was also held, previously no doubt, by Sagata.]

[Footnote 360:  Mahavag.  X. 2.  Compare the singular anecdote in VI. 22 where the Buddha quite unjustifiably suspects a Doctor of making an indelicate joke.  The story seems to admit that the Buddha might be wrong and also that he was sometimes treated with want of respect.]
