The parallel is not very striking. The *dugharantariya*, who *na nimantanaṃ sādiyanti. Te na kumbhī-mukhā paṭigaṇhanti, na kaḷopimukhā paṭigaṇhanti, na eḷakamantaram, na daṇḍamantaram, na musalamantaram, na pāyamānāya, na purisantara-aṭṭhito hoti, na yattha makkhikā i na suraṃ na merayaṃ na thusodakam pipanti. Te ekāgārikā vā honti ekālopikā, dvāgārikā vā honti dvālopikā, sattāgārikā honti sattālopikā. Ekissa pi dattiyā yāpenti, dvīhi pi dattīhi yāpenti, sattahi pi dattīhi yāpenti. Ekādhikam pi āhāraṃ āhārenti, dvīhikam pi āhāraṃ āhārenti, sattādhikam pi āhāraṃ āhārenti, iti evarūpam addhamāsikam pi pariyāya-unuyuttā viharanti.*
