texts to any one else. The authorship of Dasă, Kappa(2) and Vavahára is attributed to Bhaddabāhu." The anavasthāpya and pārāñcika expiations disappeared after him. Siddhasena Ksamāśramana explained some precepts.? He was survived by his four disciples: Godása, Aggidatta, Jinnadatta and Somadatta.. See also Thülabhadda and Ditthivāya.
He is traditionally regarded as the author of nijjut is also but the evidences aviable disprove it. It is probable that the nijjutt is available at present might be containing some portions of old nijjuttis whose author was this Bhaddabāhu.10 See also Bhaddabāhu(2). 4. AvaCu.

(1) In the niryukti on Dasāsuyakkhandha he has first of all saluted Bhaddabahr(1) describing him as belonging to the Pāiņa lineage, the last knower of all the scriptures and the author of Dasă, Kappa(2) and Vavahāra.?
(2) In the niryukti on Āvassaya he has saluted preceptor Vaira(2): who flourished much after Bhaddabāhu(1).
(3) In the niryukti on Uttarajjhayaṇa he has referred to a story of Bhaddabāhu's four disciples. This story can be ascribed to Bhaddabāhu(1) and not to Bhaddabāhu(2), since no author thinks it proper to mention his own name in the third person in his own work.
(4) The analysis of the material available in the niryukt is shows that the description of some Ņiphavas (schismatics) and the like occurring therein cannot be made by Bhaddabāhu(1) who lived much before them.
Bhadrabāhu and Varāhamihira were initiated at the city of Paitthăpa. Bhaddabāhu is said to have written nijjutt is on Avassaya, Dasakäliya, Uttarajjhayana, Āyāra, Sayagada, Dasă, Kappa(2), Vavahāra Sariyapannatti and Isibbāsiya(1). 1. NisCu. I. pp. 38, 76, 131, II. p. 307, 3. AvaN. 765.
