[Footnote 495:  Maj.  Nik. 139, cf. also Ang.  Nik.  II. 7 where various kinds of sukham or happiness are enumerated, and we hear of nekkhammasukham nirupadhis, upekkhas, aruparamanam sukham, etc.]

[Footnote 501:  Such a phrase as Nibbanassa sacchikiriyaya “for the attainment or realization of Nirvana” would be hardly possible if Nirvana were annihilation.]

[Footnote 502:  Udana VII. near beginning.]

[Footnote 503:  These are the formless stages of meditation.  In Nirvana there is neither any ordinary form of existence nor even the forms of existence with which we become acquainted in trances.]

[Footnote 504:  This negative form of expression is very congenial to Hindus.  Thus many centuries later Kabir sung “With God is no rainy season, no ocean, no sunshine, no shade:  no creation and no destruction:  no life nor death:  no sorrow nor joy is felt ....  There is no water, wind, nor fire.  The True Guru is there contained.”]

[Footnote 506:  See also Book VII. of the Milinda containing a long list of similes illustrating the qualities necessary for the attainment of arhatship.  Thirty qualities of arhatship are mentioned in Book VI. of the same work.  See also Mahaparinib.  Sut.  III. 65-60 and Rhys Davids’ note.]

[Footnote 508:  E.g. Pugg.  Pan. 1. 39.  The ten fetters are (1) sakkayaditthi, belief in the existence of the self, (2) vicikiccha, doubt, (3) silabbataparamaso, trust in ceremonies of good works, (4) kamarago, lust, (5) patigho, anger, (6) ruparago, desire for rebirth in worlds of form, (7) aruparago, desire for rebirth in formless worlds, (8) mano, pride, (9) uddhaccam, self-righteousness, (10) avijja, ignorance.]

[Footnote 509:  There is some diversity of doctrine about the Sakadagamin.  Some hold that he has two births, because he comes back to the world of men after having been born once meanwhile in a heaven, others that he has only one birth either on earth or in a devaloka.]

[Footnote 510:  Avyakatani.  The Buddha, being omniscient, sabannu, must have known the answer but did not declare it, perhaps because language was incapable of expressing it]
