texts. It appears in two contexts. Firstly, certain conditions are

ing is abhijjamāno. The various rcadings show that the MSS
tions precedent are the Path (S v.421 = Vin i.10 = S iv.331),
also are equally divided on this point. Bdgh. (Vism 396) reads
the Path + best knowledge and full emancipation (A v.238),
°māne, and explains it, relying on Ps ii.208, as that sort of wa-

Steps to Iddhi (S. v.255). The contrary is three times stated;
