________________ THE CANONICAL EXEGETICAL LITERATURE 175 has edited this Cunni, and therein the date is given as Saka 500. This date as well as the upper one are challenged by him. He says that the line pertaining to the date comes from the pen of a scribe and not that of the author.' He has not assigned any reason for it; but it appears that he says so as this date upsets his belief to the effect that Haribhadra Sūri died in Vira Samvat 1055.2 In this Nandīcunni (pp. 7, 21 etc.) differences of opinion are noted, and on pp. 21-22 there is a discussion about the coexistence of kevalajñāna (omniscience) and kevaladarśana (absolute undifferentiated cognition). At times there are quotations in Prākrta (vide p. 40). From the last line of the printed edition of Aņuogaddāracunni, it follows that this Cunni, too, is composed by Jinadāsa Gani Mahattara. Several works are mentioned here e.g. Nandīcunni (p. 1), Āvassaya (p. 3), Tandulaveyaliya (p. 3), Dharmasamhitā (p. 12), Nandī (p. 16), Saddapahuda (p. 47), Jinabhadra Gani Ksamāśramana's Cunni on sarīrapada (p. 74) etc. Further this Cunni supplies us with quotations in Prāksta“ and notes differences of opinions. It explains the word dharmāstikāya on p. 29 as "अस्तीति ध्रौव्यं आय त्ति कायः उत्पादविनाशो (?शौ) अस्ति चासौ कायश्च अस्तिकायः, Utforeafiriching Effect:" On pp. 37-40, are defined Puvvanga etc., up to Sīsapaheliyā, and their dots and numerical figures are explicitly mentioned. Āvassayacunni is also a work of Jinadāsa Gani Mahattarra according to Anandasāgara Sūri and Jaina Granthāvali (p. 18); but, in none of the Mss. deposited at B. O. R. I., there is an entry whereby its authorship may be so attributed. \ This work is published in two parts. Several works are mentioned therein e.g. in Pt. I Govindanijjutti (p. 31), Ohanijjutticunni (p. 341), Pancakappa (p. 415), Risibhāsita (p. 501) and in Pt. II Dīvasāgarapannatti (p. 6), Uttaracūliyā (p. 157) and Vasudevahindi (p. 324). There are quotations in Samskrta? and 1. See his preface to Nandīcunni. 2. For details see my article “નન્દીસુત્ત અને એની ચણિનું વિહંગાવલોકન” published in Jainadharmaprakāśa (vol, LVI, no. 156-163). 3. "सरीरपदस्स चुण्णी जिणभद्दखमासमणकित्तिया समत्ता ॥" From this I am inclined to infer that Jinabhadra had composed a Cunni and that, too probably on Pannavaņā. 4. See p. 32 etc. 5. See pp. 12, 15, 82, 84 etc. 6. For some of the other works or their sections see pp. 31, 35, 80 83, 142, 146, 151, 160, 210, 214, 341, 354, 384, 390, 416, 453, 504, 600 and 601 of part I. 7. See pp. 84, 85, 121, 375, 427, 435 and 462 of part I and pp. 52, 202, 306 and 307 of Part II. 4 See page 212 of addition.
