⁴ *Esa ṇam Bhante tila-thaml... phajjissati? Eë ya satta tila-puppha-jīvā udāittā... uvavajjihinti?* Bh. Sū. xv, sū. 542, fol. 664. In the above paraphrase we take *nipphajjissai* to mean "develop" or "bear fruit". This seems to make much better sense in the context than "perish", the interpretation of Hoernle (*ERE*. i, p. 263), and Barua (*Pre-Buddhistic Indian Philosophy*, p. 301).
