c10.8
¹ When Chapp., a Dig. work, in 1, 18 states that *liṅga-darisaṇa* is confined to monks and both laymen and law women (called *ukkiṭṭha* and *avara-ṭṭhiya sāvaya*) and that there is no fourth group, this cannot mean that there were no Dig. nuns. For Chp. 278, 289, 258 and Chṇ. 71, 93 call the community by the name of *cauvaṇṇa* and they provide regulations for the *samaṇi*. This is also done in the Mūlācāra and by Indranandin in the Nitisāra.
