² Āsnava is from ā+root snu. Āśrava is from root śru, to flow, whence 'a flowing of the soul from the senses towards their external objects' In Āpastamba *Dh. S.* (II, 25, 19) the word *āsrava* is taken to mean 'external objects by which a person is attracted outwards' (*Yaḥ puruṣaḥ āśrāvyate, vahiḥ ākṛṣyate*) (R. K. Mookerjee, *Asoka*, 1928, p. 174)
