notes.5.189

189. What the phrase “two things” here indicates is not clear from the text of the Bhv itself. Kalyāṇamitra’s commentary to the Kṣv gives an explanation of the phrase appearing in a parallel passage in the Kṣv. According to this commentary, the “two things” for the Buddha are his life and the requisites such as food, drink, and oil massages, and the “two things” for a chariot are its body and everyday maintenance (D 4115 Āgama­kṣudra­kavyākhyāna, dzu F.197.b–198.a).
