v1.c7.108

¹⁰ Given, *e.g.*, in the *Uttarādhyayana Sūtra* (Jacobi’s *Jaina Sūtras* ii. 213). This seems to involve a conception of mind which is originally colourless by nature. The different colours (*nīla*, etc.) are due to different habits or actions. The supreme spiritual effort consists in restoring mind to its original purity. *Cp.* with this the Buddha’s teaching in A. iii. 384 ff. and M. i. 36.
