XVI : MAHĀPRATYĀKHYĀNA-PRAKĪRNAKA
others still Candravedhyaka has been included excluding the Bhaktaparijña. Besides, liore than one Prakīrnakas of the same name are also found. E.g. three Prakīrnakas bearing the name Aurapaccakkhāna (Āturapratyākhyāna) and two with the name Catuhsarana are found.
The Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjaka Sampradāya (White clad, Idol worshipping Sect of the Jainas) recognizes only ten Prakīrņakas, as enumerated earlier, as canonical texts. However, according to Muni Punyavijayajī if all the texts known as Prakīrnakas are collected, collated and rationalised, we get the following twenty-two names :
Catuhsarana, Aturapratyākhyāna, Bhaktaparijñā, Sam'stāraka, Tandulavaicārika, Candravedhyaka, Devendrastava, Gaņividyā, Mahāpratyākhyāna, Vīrastava, Rșībhāṣita, Ajīvakalpa, in Gacchācāra, Maranasamādhi, Titthogāli (Tīrthodgālika),
