v2.c74.s2.96

Different names are found given to the same sūtra, according as the sūtra is viewed from the front or the side of the Lamba-phalakā; for example, the kaksha-paryanta-sūtra, when viewed from the front of the Lamba-phalakā, is seen passing just in front of the arm-pit and is therefore called the line that forms the limit of the arm-pit; the same sūtra when viewed from the side is seen passing just in front of the bhuja or the upper arm; hence it is called the line which forms the inner boundary of the upper-arm or antarbhujāvadhi-sūtra.
