Though we are not definite about the relative chronology of Kundakunda, Sivārya and Vattakera, a comparative study of their exposition of Anupreksa is interesting. These . three authors form a trio in this respect, and their works have a close kinship, besides each having its individuality. The twelve anuprekşās are enumerated by them in the same order, and many ideas are common between them. Kundakunda addresses both monks and householders, while Sivărya and Vattakera have obviously the ascetic congregation in view. These two show greater affinity with canonical texts. Kundakunda and Sivārya have mentioned five-fold Samsāra; and in that context the latter's text, as it is available, seems to quote a few gāthās from the former (B26-27 or Bha. 1776 and 1778). One of the gathas of Sivarya, No. 1824, occurs in Pañcāstikaya where Amrtacandra calls it Siddhāntasūtra, possibly an ancient verse inherited in traditional memory. Some gāthās of Kundakunda have close resemblance with those of Sivārya (cf., B 13, 48, 49 & 67 respectively with Bha. 1746, 1825-6 & 1847). Between Vattakera and Sivārya two verses are alınost common (M 65 and 67 and Bha. 1867 & 1870); both of them use the term loga-dhamma (M 28 and Bha. 1811); and there are some gāthās which show a good deal of commom ideas and expressions (cf. M 17, 26, 27, 31, 32, 37, 43-4, 50, 56, 57, 61 & 66 respectively with Bha. 1789,
1) The forin lihidellaya is quite interesting and valuable to explain the Marāthi p. p. p. forms lihilele, etc.
2) Generally some ten stories or instances are narrated to illustrate the rarity of human birth (See my Notes, p. 381, Brhat-Kathakośa, Bombay 1943 ); and juga-samiladitthanta is one of them. Something like it is found in Buddhists works as well; for instance, Matreeta, in his Adhyardha-sataka, speaks thus : सोऽहं प्राप्य मनुष्यत्वं ससद्धर्ममहोत्सवम् । महा
र्णवयुगच्छिद्रकूर्मग्रीवार्पणोपमम् ।।. This illustration is fully explained by Uddyotana in his Kuvalayamālā, $ 326-327, of my edition, Bombay 1959.
