Abhayadeva Sūri, however reconciles this incongruity by saying that this may be due to a difference in vacanäs.' This view is strange; so, if it cannot be accepted, the old Antagaḍadasă should be looked upon as lost.
A HISTORY OF THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
According to Thāna (s. 755 ) Anuttarovavāiyadasā has 10 ajjhayanas as noted below :
On examining the available Aṇuttarovaväïyadasä, we find that it has 3 vaggas having 10, 13 and 10 ajjhayanas respectively. Their names are given there as below :
"ईसिदासे य १ धण्णे त २ सुणक्खत्ते य ३ कातिते ४ ( ति य)। सट्टाणे ५ सालिभद्दे त ६ आणंदे ७ तेतली ८ ति त। ।
नभ ९ अतिमुत्ते १० एमेते दस आहिया ॥"

" जालि मयालि उवयालि पुरिससेणे य वारिसेणे य 12
दीहदन्ते य लट्ठदन्ते य वेहल्ले वेहासे अभए इ य कुमारे ॥" p. 48 "दीहसेणे महासेणे लट्ठदन्ते य गूढदन्ते य सुद्धदन्ते । हल्ले दुमे दुमसेणे महादुमसेणे अ आहिए ।
सीहे य सीहसेणे य महासीहसेणे य आहिए !
From this it follows that at best only the names of the 1st 3 ajjhayanas tally, and so Abhayadeva Sūri suggests that the names noted in Thāna are according to some other vācană. If this suggestion cannot be accepted, they must be supposed to be extinct.
पुण्णसेणे य बोद्धव्वे तेरसमे होइ अज्झयणे ॥" p. 50
" धन्ने व (?) सुनक्खत्ते इसिदासे य आहिए ।
पेल्लए रामपुत्ते य चन्दिमा पुट्टिमा इय ||
पेढालपुत्ते अणगारे नवमे पोट्टिले इय ।
वेले दस वुत्ते इमेए दस आहिया ॥ p. 51 ( N. V. Vaidya's edn.)
The 10 ajjhayanas of Ayāradasā as noted in Thāna agree with those of the available one, and hence they are so to say intact.
"वाचनान्तरापेक्षाणीमानीति सम्भावयामः, न च जन्मान्तरनामापेक्षयैतानि भविष्यन्तीति वाच्यं, जन्मान्तराणां तत्रानभिधीयमानत्वादिति । " - p. 509b
2. These are also the names of the 1st 5 ajjhayananas of the 4th vagga of Antagadadasā. 3. In Abhayadeva Sūri's com. (p. 509 ) on Thāna, there is a variant “पोट्टिके" ।
4. "वीसं असमाहिट्टाणा १ एगवीसं सबला २ तेत्तीसं आसायणातो ३ अट्ठविहा गणिसंपया ४ दस चित्तसमाहिट्ठाणा ५ एगारस उवासगपडिमातो ६ बारस भिक्खुपडिमातो ७ पज्जोसवणा कप्पो ८ तीसं मोहणिज्जद्वाणा ९ आजाइट्ठाणं १० ।"
