________________ xix to be neglected. 14 With the formulation of the Angas, the study of Pūrvas seems to have fullen in disuse and the study of Angas gained more importance as these works, not only contained the quintessence of Purvas, but were comparatively easy and had much to do with the reformed Jainism as was preached by Mahāvira. Thus the study of Pūrvas was made by only the pontiffs or at times very prominent Elders of the Jain Church. Thus after the death of Mahävira we come to the sixth pontiff of the Jain Church Sambhutivijaya15 and his younger colleague the famous Bładrabahu [ Vira 156=311 B. C; Vira 14. Charpentier: Uttara. Intro P. 18, 21, 23. etc. where the views about the loss of flagra and चोद्दस पुवs are mentioned. 15. Certain authorities go to show that संभूतिविजय and भद्रबाहु both were pontiffs at one and the same time. I. A Vol. xi. Klatt nerast of a es | JHraf 929248t I but this can not be called certain. One can very well imagine a rivalry between the eldest disciple salarazte becoming the pontiff by right, and the younger disciple are more brilliant, so much so that feesha the pontiff after संभूतिविजय had to go to him to learn पुव्वs. For the traditional dates mentioned I have relied upon पट्टावली in main.
