v1.c26.s2.10

Two problematic names of deities are Jina and Jinasuta, mentioned in a verse (A.s.Ci.21.135) declaring that paying homage to brāhmaṇas, one's gurus and the gods, benevolence (maitrī) to all living beings, and adoration of Jina, Jinasuta, Tārā and Bhāskara, eradicate the disease called kuṣṭha. Indu says in his comments that Jina is the Buddha; he interprets jinasuta in the compound as indicating a plural and regards these Jinasutas as Avalokiteśvara and others.¹³²
