page 653 note 1 The argument put forth here holds good equally for the other four khandhas, constituents of existence (vedanā, sannā, vinnārta, saftkhārā), of which the last two defy translation since the reality underlying these concepts baffles understanding.
page 654 note 1 Compare such passages as Majjhima, I, 341 sq.; III, 195 sq.; Anguttara, II, 206 sq.; and Bhg., 5.24, 18.53.
page 656 note 1 The root √srj is used in both places, viz. ātmānani srjāmy– aham: I (spontaneously) create myself, Bhg., 4.7; and āyu-saiikhārani ossaji: he dismissed the life-constituent, Dighanikāya, II, 106, cp. B. Skt. bhavasaipskāram, apotsrjan munih, Divyavadāna
page 658 note 1 This much-debated word may be a corruption of an-oma-t-agga (anoma=anavama, plus cugga, viz. without bottom and top, without beginning and end), and it would thus correspond to the B. Skt. equivalent an-avar–āgra.
