Comparison between the expressions of Ājīvika views in Buddhist and Jaina texts shows notable similarities. Thus the *Sāmañña-phala Sutta*’s version of Makkhali’s doctrine contains the phrases : *N’atthi attakāre, n’atthi parakāre, n’atthi purisakāre, n’atthi balam, n’atthi viriyam, n’atthi purisa-thāmo, n’atthi purisa-parakkamo . . . Sabbe satta niyati-saṅgati-bhāva-pariṇatā . . .*
