adiśruta (original śruta) contained in the twelve Angas undergoes any change or remains for ever as it is. In reply to this it is said that Rṣibhāṣita, Prakirnaka and the instances given in the Jñātādhyayana may undergo some change as they contain references to or a description of the events taking place at different times but everything else remains the same for ever. That is, everything except those instances and events is strictly the same in the preachings of both Lord Rṣabha and Lord Mahāvīra.
Ac. Jinabhadra too maintains that only a person who possesses the highest knowledge of the śruta-that is, who knows the purvas -is able to write a vārtika and he further states that a yugapradhana himself or one who has received instructions from him can compose a vārtika.10
Ac. Jinabhadra has also expressed the view that he who composes a commentary less extensive than one composed by an anuyogācārya is called bhāṣaka, he who writes a commentary as extensive as one written by an anuyogacārya is given the name vibhāṣaka, but he who produces, on the strength of his wisdom, a commentary more extensive than one produced by an anuyogacārya is known as vārtikakära.11
The above discussion on the synonyms of 'anuyoga' shows that the so many synonyms enumerated here do not strictly have the same sense, the reason being that the different types of exposition are here regarded as having the same sense. It is from the point of view of generality that these types are regarded as having the same nature though each of them has its own speciality. Thus the synonyms of 'anuyoga' are really the different types of anuyoga. To be more explicit, these synonyms of anuyoga are different methods or modes of exposition (anuyoga).12

They are:
सूत्रं सूचनकृद् भाष्यं सूत्रोक्तार्थप्रपञ्चकम् ।
प्रस्तावस्तु प्रकरणं निरुक्तं पदभञ्जकम् ॥ २५४ ॥
उक्तानुक्तदुरुक्तार्थचिन्ताकारि तु वार्तिकम् ।
टीका निरन्तर व्याख्या पञ्जिका पदभञ्जिका ॥ २५६ ॥
The Vacaspatyam quotes the following definition of bhāṣya:
सूत्रार्थी वर्ण्यते यत्र पदैः सूत्रानुसारिभिः ।
स्वपदानि च वर्ण्यन्ते भाष्यं भाष्यविदो विदुः ॥
