v1.c8.s6.12

The only point to which I want to draw attention is that the word ‘aroupa’ (*arūpa*) should have been rendered into French by the word ‘immatérielle’ and ‘amourta’ (*amūrta*) by ‘sans forme.’ Mr. Jaini also in his *Outlines of Jainism* (Cambridge, 1916), p. 83, translates *amūrta* by the word ‘immaterial.’ In the *Dravyasamgraha* (edited by Sarat Chandra Ghosal, 1917, The Sacred Books of the Jainas Series), pp. 4, 5, 22, *amūrta* is translated by the word ‘formless.’
