### [c19.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.economy.rhysdavids-1903.c19.55)

¹ This is a technical term of the Buddhist system of self-training. They were originally threefold,—the mental intoxication arising from lusts, that arising from the craving after a future life, and that arising from ignorance. Then a fourth was added—the intoxication of mind arising from dogmas, or speculative metaphysics. The Arahat has none at all of these. Asoka's good layman is to have “but little.”—See Rhys-Davids, \*Dialogues of the Buddha\*, vol. i., p. 92.
