Kammappavāya; (XIII) Pañcakappa, a Puvva;2 (XIV-XVI) Dasāsuyakkhandha, Kappa4 and Vavahāra, Paccakkhanappavāya; (XVII) Mahakappa, a Puvva;6 (XVIII) Nistha, Paccakkhānappavāya; (XIX) Nayacakra, Nanappavāya; (XX) Sayaga, a Puva; (XXI) Pancasangaha, a Puvva;10 (XXII) Sattariya, a Puvva;11 (XXIII) Mahākarmaprakrtiprābhrta, a Puvva;12 (XXIV) Kasāyaprābhrta, a Puvva13 and (XXV) Jivasamāsa, a Puvva (?)14. XXVI Samsattanijjutti, the 2nd Puvva and XXVII Pūyācaüvīs, some Puvva.
The language of the Puvvas - This is usually supposed to be Saṁskrt and not Prākrt. This view is probably based upon the following references :
(i) Vijayānanda Sūri in his Tattvanirnayaprāsāda (p. 412) quotes the following verse, with "यत उक्तमागमे"15 prefixed :
"मुत्तूण दिट्ठिवायं कालिय-उक्कालियंगसिद्धतं । थी-बालवायणत्थं पाइयमुइयं जिणवरेहिं ॥"16
(ii) Prabhācandra Sūri in his Prabhāvakacaritra (Vrddhavādiprabandha, v. 114) observes :
"चतुर्दशापि पूर्वाणि संस्कृतानि पुराऽभवन् ॥११४॥"
1. See Vadivetala Santi Suri's com. (p. 50) on Uttarajjhayana where the following verse from it is quoted :
"कम्मप्पवायपुव्वे सत्तरसे पाहुडम्मि जं सुत्तं ।
सणयं सोदाहरणं तं चेव इहं पि णायव्वं ॥२-६९॥" 2. See D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt. II, p. 257). 3. Ibid., p. 60. 4-5. Ibid., p. 239. 6. See Hemacandra Suri's com. (p. 932') on Visesa° (v. 2295). 7. Cf. "आयारपकप्पो पुण पच्चक्खाणस्स तइयवत्थूओ ।
आयारनामधिज्जा वीसइमा पाहुडच्छेया ॥२९॥" -Ayaranijjutti
See Prabhāvakacaritra (Mallavadiprabandha, v. 14). 9. See the Hindi prastāvanā (pp. 16-17) to Devendra Sūri's Kammavivāga published by
"Śrī ātmānanda Pustakapracāraka Mandala in A. D. 1918. There it is said :"श्वेताम्बर-सम्प्रदाय में १कर्मप्रकृति, २ शतक,३ पञ्चसंग्रह, और ४ सप्ततिका ये ४ ग्रन्थ और दिगम्बर-सम्प्रदाय
में १ महाकर्मप्रकृतिप्राभृत तथा २ कषायप्राभूत ये दो ग्रन्थ पूर्वोद्धत माने जाते हैं।" 10-13. See fn. 9. 14. See Jivasamāsa (v. 285). 15. Up till now I have not been in a position to trace this Agama. 16. As stated in the upodghāta (p. 9) to Pāiyasaddamahannava (pt. iv), this verse is
quoted in Acāradinakara by Vardhamāna Sūri.
