THE EXTINCT AGAMAS OF THE JAINAS
99
As regards the 10 ajjhayaņas of Panhāvāgaranadasā mentioned in Thāna (s. 755)', they seem to be lost in. toto; for, the available Panhāvāgarana has 5 ajjhayanas dealing with asrava and 5 with samvara, and the available Isibhāsiya has probably nothing to do with the 3rd ajjhayana noted here, in fn. 4.
As stated in Thāna (s. 755) Bandhadasā has 10 ajjhayanas as under :
"बंधे १ य मोक्खे २ य देवद्धि ३ दसारमंडलेवित ४ आयरियविप्पडिवत्ती ५ उवज्झातविप्पडिवत्ती ६ भावणा ७ विमुत्ती ८ सातो ९ कम्मे १०।" ।
If Bhavanā and Vimutti noted here cannot be identified with the 3rd and the 4th Cūlās of Āyāra, they, too, along with the remaining 8 ajjhayanas should be considered as lost.
Dogiddhidasā has 10 ajjhayanas. They are mentioned in Thāna (s. 755) as under :
"वाते १ विवाते २ उववाते ३ सुक्खिते कसिणे ४ बायालीसं सुमिणे ५ तीसं महासुमिणा ६ बावत्तर्रि सव्वसुमिणा ७ हारे ८ रामे ९ गुत्ते १०"
All of them are lost. From the titles of the ajjhayanas 5-7 it appears that they deal with dreams-a subject supposed to be treated in Mahasuminabhāvanā.
As regards Dihadasā, we learn from Thāņa (s. 755) that it has 10 ajjhayanas. The pertinent portion is as under :
"चंदे १ "सूरते २ सुक्के ३ त सिरिदेवी ४ पभावती ५ दीवसमुद्दोववत्ती ६ बहूपुत्ती ८ (१७) मंदरे ति त ९ (१८) थेरे संभूतविजयते ८ (१९) थेरे पम्ह ९ (?१०) ऊसासनीसासे ।"
In Pupphiyā (p. 210) we come across the following verse which mentions its 10 ajjhayanas :
"चंदे १ सूरे २ सुक्के ३ बहुपुत्तिय ४ पुन्नमाणिभद्दे ५-६ य ।
दत्ते ७ सिवे ८ बले या ९ अणाढिये १० चेव बोद्धव्वे ॥" From this it may be inferred that the ajjhayaņas 1, 2, 3 and 7 of
1. "उवमा १ संखा २ इसिभासियाइं ३ आयरियभासिताइं ४ महावीरभासिआइं ५ खोमगपसिणाई ६
कोमलपसिणाई ७ अदागपसिणाई ८ अंगुटुपसिणाई ९ बाहुपसिणाई १० ।" While explaining this, Abhayadeva Suri notes on p. 512: " 'पसिणाई' ति प्रश्नविद्या यकाभिः क्षौमकादिष देवतावतारः क्रियते इति, तत्र क्षौमकं-वस्त्रं अद्दागो आदर्शः अङ्गुष्ठः - हस्तावयवः बाहवः -भुजा
इति ।" 2. This appears to be a misreading. If so, if should be "सूरे त"
