The former were also called \*daṇḍa-māṇavas\* (IV.3.130), probably from the staff they bore. The \*māṇava\* seems to have been a novice, as seen from the term \*bāla\* applied to him in the \*Mātaṅga Jātaka\*, which also calls him \*daṇḍa-māṇava\* (IV.379, 387). - [Previous: c8.s2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s2.6) - [Next: c8.s2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s2.8) - [Up: c8.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s2) ## Cites (3) - [Jātakatthavaṇṇanā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka!jatakatthavannana*cst.15.1.p6) — Pāli - [Aṣṭādhyāyī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.astadhyayi-school.astadhyayi.6.2.69) — Pāṇini, Sanskrit - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.agrawala-1953.c8.s2.7) · Pramāṇa
