300 This and the next 3 verses are found in this sequence at the beginning of the verse section of
Kokālikasuttaṁ, Sn. 3.10, vv. 1-4.
301 This line shows the variant opening in which the first syllable has to be counted as light to fit
the metre.
302 The opening is one syllable short, we could correct it by reading nindīyaṁ, or by reading yo hi
as in Patna.
