1 śreṇika, adj. (cf. a-śreṇika), a (relatively) complimentary epithet of a wandering mendicant, always with parivrājakaḥ: ŚsP 〔615.12〕
〔633.13〕
AsP 〔8.21〕
〔9.10〕. But apparently not a Buddhist
his knowledge is ‘limited’, prādeśika, ŚsP 〔615.13〕, tho superior to that of the aśreṇika. Cf. Rahder, JAOS 〔70.126〕. One might guess that śreṇika meant ‘members of a guild or (non-Buddhist) order of monks’
but śreṇi is not a normal expression for a religious order. In AMg. seḍhi (= Skt. śreṇi) is used of a certain stage of religious advancement among the Jains, and a-seḍhi-gaya (= Skt. *a-śreṇi-gata) means one who has not yet attained that stage
see Ratnach. s.vv. Could aśreṇika equal AMg. aseḍhigaya, and śreṇika, its opposite, one who has attained that stage ? Two Jain terms used, and applied to Jain or other heterodox monks? This is only a guess, and prob. not likely.
2 Śreṇika, less commonly used for next: Mv 〔i.257.15〕 (v.l. °ya)
〔258.3〕 (in 4 °ya)
〔286.17〕
〔288.3〕
otherwise noted only in Mvy 〔3652〕, where it is not juxtaposed with Bimbisāra, q.v.
