c9.56

⁴⁵ In addition to passages already known, attention may be drawn to Kaliṅga Bodhi Jātaka (Siamese edition, pp. 184–85). A referential object of worship (uddesikam caitya) is without a positive basis and is only a creation of the mind (cf. Cowell, *Jātaka*, 479). Buddha is shown in this passage to take an averse attitude against images. With this may be contrasted a passage of the Khuddakapāṭha Commentary
