EDITOR'S NOTE
that the string may not affect and destroy the writings. Moreover, holes of various sizes have been made in each and every folio by the insects. The condition of the ms. is not bad. We can easily turn the folios. The script is excellent and quite legible. Its size is 11?" x 3?". Though it has no colophon at the end, it seems to have been written in c. 15th Cent. V. S.
fato, o and aftoThese three paper mss. belong to Sri Sangha Jñāna Bhandāra (preserved in Sri Hemacandrācārya Jaina Jñāna Mandir, Patan), Sūrisamrāt Śrī Vijayanemisūriśvara Jaina Jñāna Bhandāra and Śrī Mahimābhakti Jaina Jñāna Bhaņdāra (Bikaner) respectively.
FO--This is the printed edition critically prepared by Ac. Sri Sāgarānandasūriji and published in 1972 V. S. by Devacand Lalbhai Pustakoddhāra Fund. This edition contains the Anuyogadvārasūtra along with the Vịtti of Ac. Hemacandrasūri.
Out of the mss. described above to, #so, ło, and ato represent sanksiptavācana and the remaining to, to, šo, ato, Jo and 5 represent brhadvacană. Only to ms. sometimes follows sanksiptavacanã and sometimes brhadvācană. At one place all the mss. representing bịhadvācana, except #o and ato mss., give the text according to sanksiptavacană only (Refer to p. 77 n. 5.). Though
oms. of Sri Sangha Bhandāra, Patan, belongs to quite a different group and is somewhat strange (vicitra) yet it gives us important readings. It is this ms. that has given us, to a considerable extent, the variants found in the vștti of Maladhāri Hemacandrasuri. There is not a single extant ms. that can give us all the readings found in the Maladhårīyā Vịtti. In this state of affairs we have no other go but to follow the sīkā and pratikas occurring therein for the preparation of the recension of the Anuyogadvārasūtra. And thus we have prepared the recension of the Anuyogadvārasūtra. Hence our recension of the Anuyogadvārasūtra differs from those prepared by Rev. Sāgarānandasúrīśvaraji and others. But we can say, with confidence, that it is our recension that gives the text-readings acceptable to the authors of the Cūrņi and sīkās. After the composition of the Brhadvștti by Maladhārī Hemacandra, even the incomplete text-readings ending with ityādi (etc. etc.), given by Maladhārī Hemacandra, are seen to have found place in the mss. of the Anuyogadvāra which could be considered to be old. We have noted these corrupt readings in foot-notes. In short, our recension gives the text-readings acceptable to Maladhāri Hemacandra and it represents the brhadvācană.
All the printed editions of the Anuyogadvārasūtra represent the brhadvacană. But their sutra-readings are not consistent with any
