c7.5

According to Mahāvīra the two concepts of *parissava* and *āsava* meaning spring of sin and influx of sin and their opposites go together;¹ while according to the Buddha *parissaya* (Skt. *pariśraya*) stands for the internal spring of impiety and demerit (*Cf. Anguttara*, III, p. 388; *Sutta-nipāta*, verses 42 and 45; *Niddesa*, I, p. 12, etc.)
