## Translation:
**The two traditions have rejected thirteen Agam texts, including Gopaniyukti and Mahanishith, and accepted only 32 out of 45 Agams. The reasons given by both traditions for rejecting the Prakiranakas and three other texts as Agams are that these texts contain many statements that contradict the original Agams and their traditional beliefs.**
**Muni Kishnalalji has mentioned the following reasons for rejecting the Prakiranakas:**
1. **"In Aurarpacchakkhana, Gatha 8, the right of Panditmaran is mentioned. In Gatha 31, there is an order to use wealth (parigraha) in seven places. In Gatha 30, there are instructions for Guru Puja, Samini Bhakti, and seven other things. Aurarpacchakkhana is a witness, but its name is not mentioned in Bhattapainna. The use of Savadya (sinful) language cannot be used in the Sutra, therefore it is invalid."**
2. **"In Ganivjja Painne, there is also a description of astrology. For example, initiation should not be taken in the three constellations of Shravana, Dhaneshta, and Punarvasu (Gatha 22). But in the Agams, it is mentioned that 20 Tirthankaras took initiation in the Shravana constellation. How can something be considered valid if it prohibits what is considered valid in the Agam? What can be its basis? Further, it is mentioned there that one should not serve the Guru in certain constellations, and one should not perform lunchan in certain constellations. All these things are not approved in the Agam. Therefore, they are not considered valid."**
3. **"The discussion about Santhan in Tandalveyaliyam is different from the instructions mentioned in the Agams. They do not match each other. It is written there that the final Sanhanan and Santhan of a human being occurs in the fifth Aare. In other Agams, it is mentioned that there are only six Santhan Sanhanan found in humans. How can Tandalveyaliyam be considered valid due to this contradiction? Such unauthentic statements are mentioned in Chandagavijjhay, Gatha 98, about the excellence of a Sadhu."**
