The original text of the Tattvartha Sutra
421 (comparison) 20] and its directions are described in a similar verse (21–22). In the description of each year-holding mountain, there are references to its colors as well as the names of its rivers, deities, and the directions of the rivers. In the Tattvartha Sutra, the Shikhari mountain is referred to as Hem color. Whereas in the Jambudvipa Samasa, it is described as having Tapaniya color. Verse 3: (16) is also in the fourth Anika - Vāpīvu-Phūva Travers, accordingly verses 3. (26) and (32) are also in this Anika - Meruttarāsu viparyāyaḥ tathā rūpādi-dviguṇa-rāśi-guno dvīpa-vyāso navati-śata-vibhakto maratādiṣu viṣkambhaḥ.
From the analysis above, it seems that the Digambara Sutras 3. (12-3r) were composed based on the commentary and the Jambukīpa Samasa. Logically, it could be argued that the composition of the commentary and the Jambudvipa Samasa was based on the Digambara text. Based on the merging of the verses of the Śvetāmbara text from sections 1-3, it is validated that the Tāmbar text is original. This is because the term 'thathānam' is available in the sutra style. However, this is a secondary matter, and nothing can be definitively concluded from it. Generally, it can be said that authentication of any one text through the merging or growth of words and verses does not conclusively establish its authenticity, allowing for the assertion that one text is based upon another. Thus, our attempts to achieve the goal so far have been unsuccessful.
