the author has not explained the term adhyayana at this juncture. This solution of the apparent anomaly has been suggested by commentator of the Anuyogadvarasutra33 and it seems to be really proper. Ac. Jinabhadra too has followed suit.34
(3) Description and Analysis of the Subject-Matter of the text:
The Anuyogadvāra puts before us the subject-matter (of the text which it comments upon) in the form of a pinda as it were. This is called the arthädhikara also.. Therein one finds the table of topics-in the order of their treatment in the text-of all the six adhyayanas (sū. 73).
(4) Enumeration of titles of the six adhyayanas of the Avaśyakasutra, viz. Sāmāyika and others (su. 74).
(5) Entrances to Exposition (anuyogadvāras).
Out of the six adhyayanas of the Avasyakasutra the first one viz. Sämäyika is treated of applying four methods of exposition (su. 75). They are upakrama, nikṣepa, anugama and naya.
The Anuyogadvāra first gives the pinḍārtha and then the avayavartha. While elaborating the avayavārtha it employs these four entrances to exposition. Hence we consider them in detail.
(i) Upakrama (Commencement)
Here at the opening we meet with the procedure of determining the intended sense of the term 'upakrama' after having discussed its various senses through various doors' of discussion, viz, nāma, sthāpanā, dravya, kṣetra, kāla and bhāva (su. 75-91). In fact, the real intended meaning of the term 'upakrama' is commencement through the instrumentality of good internal gualities (prasastabhāvopakrama). Prasastabhavopakrama essentially consists in gaining the spiritual teacher's favour by one's humble and respectful behaviour (su. 91). Then we are acquainted with the topics that a commentator should discuss in order to make commencement (of the study or exposition) of a particular text and also in order to make easy and understandable the discussion on the second entrance to exposition, viz. nikṣepa. The purpose of discussing all the preliminary topics in the upakrama is to make easy the application of the method of niksepa to all the topics of the text in their due order. The Anuyogadvāra, true to its nature, treats of the upakrama as such in details (su. 92-533). But therein it does not point out as to how the upakrama of the Avaśyakasūtra has been achieved through the description of the various constituents of
