Sajīvāna (nt.) at S i.44 is metric spelling for sa -- jīvana [sa2=saŋ,+jīvana] "same livelihood," in phrase kiŋsu kamme s. "what is (of) the same livelihood in work, i. e. occupation?" The form is the same as jīvāna at J iii.353. Taken wrongly as gen. pl. by Mrs. Rh. D. in trsln (K.S. i.63): "who in their work is mate to sons of men?" following Bdhgh's wrong interpretation (see K.S. i.321) as "kammena saha jīvantānan; kammadutiyakā nāma honti".
