⁴⁵ Cf. the vigorous Uṭṭhāna sutta of the Sn., with Kaṭh 3. 14 AB. 34. 3; Sk. 1. 8. The last clearly shows how “viriya” was regarded as different from “kamma”. This distinction, with which may be compared the later Buddhist distinction of Kamma and Kiriyā, has, it will be noticed, far-reaching philosophic implications. It is further noticeable that the Jaina text identifies “Kamma” with “Pamāda” and Viriya with “Appamāda”. Now, the Uṭṭhāna sutta also equates Pamāda to “Raja” and advocates Appamāda, the commendation of which is supposed to have been the “Pacchimā vācā” of the Tathāgata (cf. the Appamāda vaggo of the Dhp.).
