108 Analysis of the Mackenzie Manuscripts. [Feb.

 Note. This paper was more legible than the former one, but in

 possibly be depended on. Many Jainas live in the neighbourhood of 

 Arcot, Vellore, and Conjeveram. 



Section 3. — Account of the Sa'nchya, and other modes of religious 



credence. 

 In the early times during the reign of a son of Bharata, the Muni 

 Capiln performed penitential austerities after the Jama ( Vaishnava) 

 mode. There is a defective Prakrit sloca, or verse. Some notice 

 follows of the foundation of the Sdnchya School by Capila. Notices 

 of other persons with defective slocas. Account of leaders of the Jaina 

 system, and of their disputations with the followers of other opinions.

 wise might have been obtained from it, we most probably possess from 

 other sources.

 of trouble. 7. Tapasu, outward and inward self-mortification. 8. Brah~ 

 mdcharyam, to relinquish all sexual attachment, even in word or 

 thought. 9. Aginchanam, to renounce the darkness of error, and to 

 follow the light of truth. 1 0. Samyamam, duly to celebrate all special 

 periods, festivals, or the like. 



h. The Sravana Dherma is of eleven kinds, 1. Terisinigen, one 

 who relinquishes certain unclean kinds of food, with killing, lying, theft, 

 and all anxious cares. 2. Vritiken, one who eats not at night, is faith-
