History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v2.c34.9

v2.c34.9

¹⁵⁰¹ अथ शालीन-यायावर-चक्रचरधर्माकाङ्क्षिणां नवभिर्वृत्तिभिर्वर्तमानानाम् । शाला-श्रयत्वाच्छालीनत्वम् । वृत्या वरया यातीति यायावरत्वम् । अनुक्रमेण चरणाच्चक्रचरत्वम् । बौ. ध. सू. III. 1. 1., 3-5. बौ. derives शालीन from शाला (a house) and यायावर from या (to go) and वर (best). पाणिनि V. 2. 20 (which is explained in the Mahābhāṣya) teaches that शालीन in the sense of bashful (अधृष्ट) is derived from शाला. Probably in Pāṇini's day householders had not come to be divided into शालीन and यायावर. बौ. appears to hold that there is a third variety called चक्रचर, but this does not occur elsewhere.
