Vimalavāhaṇa(7), Sammui(3), Padisuta, Dadhadhanu(1), Dasadhanu(1) and Sayadhanu(1).15 These names agree with those of the future ten Kulagaras of the Eravaya(1) region as given in the Samavāyānga, except some variation in order of the names which are as follows: Vimalavahaṇa(8), Simamkara(1), Simamdhara(1), Khemamkara(1), Khemaṁdhara(3), Dadhadhanu(2), Dasadhanu(1), Sayadhanu(2), Padisui(1) and Sumai(2).16

The Titthogali records the tradition of seven would-be Kulagaras of the Eravaya(1) region. Their names are: Vimalavāhaṇa(8), Viulavahaṇa(2), Dadhadhanu(2), Dasadhanu(1), Sayadhanu(2), Padisui(1) and Sumai(2). The order of the names of this tradition agrees partly with Samavāyānga.17
The above survey reveals that the confusion has arisen due to different traditions and different redactions of the canonical literature.
