Footnote 506: See also Book VII. of the Milinda containing a long list of similes illustrating the qualities necessary for the attainment of arhatship. Thirty qualities of arhatship are mentioned in Book VI. of the same work. See also Mahaparinib. Sut. III. 65-60 and Rhys Davids' note.] [Footnote 507: _E.g._ Dig. Nik. xvi. ii. 7, Cullavag. ix. 1. 4.] [Footnote 508: _E.g._ Pugg. Pan. 1. 39. The ten fetters are (1) sakkayaditthi, belief in the existence of the self, (2) vicikiccha, doubt, (3) silabbataparamaso, trust in ceremonies of good works, (4) kamarago, lust, (5) patigho, anger, (6) ruparago, desire for rebirth in worlds of form, (7) aruparago, desire for rebirth in formless worlds, (8) mano, pride, (9) uddhaccam, self-righteousness, (10) avijja, ignorance.] [Footnote 509: There is some diversity of doctrine about the Sakadagamin. Some hold that he has two births, because he _comes back_ to the world of men after having been born once meanwhile in a heaven, others that he has only one birth either on earth or in a devaloka.] [Footnote 510: Avyakatani. The Buddha, being omniscient, _sabannu_, must have known the answer but did not declare it, perhaps because language was incapable of expressing it] [Footnote 511: Jiva not atta. ] [Footnote 512: Maj. Nik. 63.] [Footnote 513: Sam. Nik. xvii. 85.] [Footnote 514: Maj. Nik. 72.] [Footnote 515: Which is said not to grow up again.] [Footnote 516: It may be that the Buddha had in his mind the idea that a flame which goes out returns to the primitive invisible state of fire. This view is advocated by Schrader (_Jour. Pali Text Soc_. 1905, p. 167). The passages which he cites seem to me to show that there was supposed to be such an invisible store from which fire is born but to be less conclusive as proving that fire which goes out is supposed to return to that store, though the quotation from the Maitreyi Up. points in this direction. For the metaphor of the flame see also Sutta-Nipata, verses 1074-6.] [Footnote 517: XLIV. 1.] [Footnote 518: Maj. Nik. 9, ad init. Asmiti ditthim ananusayam samuhanitva.] [Footnote 519: See especially Sutta-Nipata, 1076 Atthan gatassa na pamanam atthi, etc.] [Footnote 520: Sam. Nik. XXII. 85.] [Footnote 521: Maj. Nik. 22, Alagaddupama-suttam.] [Footnote 522: Later in the same Sutta: Kevalo paripuro baladhammo.] [Footnote 523: Four emphatic synonyms in the original.] [Footnote 524: Dig. Nik. I. 73 uccinna
