Vol. I, P. 28, l. 32]—Ṣaṣṭ (Prakrit: Chaṭṭha) and Aṣṭama (Prakrit: Atthama) are each a kind of external penance—mortification of flesh Every day one takes two meals So one who gives up one meal on the first day, two on the second and one on the third and thus gives up meals up, to the fourth, is said to be practising �caturtha�. Similarly one who gives up two meals on each of the two days and one meal on a previous day and one at the end, and, thus gives up meals up to the sixth, is said to be practising �ṣaṣṭ�. One who practises �ṣṭ� gives up meals up to the eighth.
