v2.c31.40

¹ D. i. 53 f. Makkhali, his views and his followers are also referred to at M. i. 231, 238, 483, 516 f.; S. i. 66, 68; iii. 211; iv. 398; A. i. 33 f., 286; iii. 276, 384; also J. i. 493, 509; S. iii. 69 ascribes the first portion of the account of Makkhali’s views (as given in D. i. 53)—that there is no cause, no reason for depravity or purity—to Pūraṇa Kassapa. A. i. 286 apparently confounds Makkhali with Ajita Kesakambala, and A. iii. 383 f. represents Pūraṇa Kassapa as though he were a disciple of Makkhali.
