      In this connection it turned out to be instructive to to take a closer look at vegetarianistic phrases like madhumūlaphalair jīvan, etc., and it was seen that such phrases came to be simply a metaphor for innocuousness, though this change of meaning need not have succeeded the vegetarianistic acceptance after any considerable period of time, sublating the latter (§ 1.6ff.). [] readings that are transmissional changes not based on objection to repetition but born of the wish to make sure that 33cd and 35cd were not misconstrued to be vegetarianistic.
