102 The 13 Practices may be put into 4 groups, according as they concern 



1. Clothing; [compare §2, above] 



2. Food; 



3. DweUing-place; 



4. Strenuousness (or bodily posture) 



103 They make 2 groups, according as they concern 



1. The everyday needs of life, or 



2. Strenuousness 



They make 2 groups also according as is is advisable 



1. To keep them, or 



2. Not to keep them 



104 All 13 make a unitary group in so far as 



They are all essentially an act of the will : see §9 



105-106 Topic 11: the Practices, as reckoned so as to make the highest 

 number (vyasato), amount to 42: thus 



105 Reckoning all 13 of them as for the monks, 



8 of them again as for the nuns, 

 12 of them again as for the male novices, 

 7 of them again as for the female novices, and 

 2 of them again as for the lay disciples, — ■ they 

 Count as 42 



106 For each of these 5 classes, the Practices are specifically, — for 

 Monks, the Practices numbered 1-13 ( = 13) 



Nuns, numbers 1-6 [7-8 forbidden; 9-10-11 too hard] and 12-13 (= 8) 

 Male novices, same as for monks, excepting 2, — i. e. 1, and 3-13 (= 12) 

 Female novices, same as for nuns, ex. 2, — i. e., 1, and 3-6, and 12-13 (=7) 

 Lay disciples, without regard to sex, numbers 5 and 6 ( = 2) .
