leaves it unfinished and resumes it in sts. 199-219. This description of the twofold Ayas is not to be found in the SRS' and therefore the whole portion of the RS dealing with the is a special feature of the RS.

The Y scheme of the RS (sts. 227-237) is entirely different from that 10 which is outlined in the SRS' under the artar and thus it should also be called a characteristic feature of the RS.

From the above description of the arrangement and the treatment of the subject in the RS and thk SRS" both, we can see that though the subject dealt with is the same, the RS 15 definitely follows another plan of classification different from that which has been accepted in the SRS'. So far as devices are concerned, the RS is comparatively more exhaustive than the SRS', though the presentation is much more lucid in the latter. The RS has interpretative similarity (which we shall now 20 examine) with the UBPK, the SRS', and the YS' rather more than it has with the non-Jaina works.

With regard to the cracking of fingers, both the RS and the SRS' have got the statement to the same effect, that is to say, they declare the ominousness of the phenomenon with regard to him in whose case it occurs (RS, st. 19; SRS', st. 224). 30 Ceaseless breath brings about immediate danger of death, according to the RS (26) but the SRS' grants him a week's life (222). The blackness of teeth without any reason brings about death in course of a month, according to the RS (27) while the SRS' simply states that his end is near (219). Both the RS (28) 35 and the SRS (221) agree with each other so far as the imminent danger of death is concerned due to sudden blackness of tongue. One, who does not hear the (ringing) noise in his ears, lives here for seven days-declare both the RS (29; 38) and the SRS (184). There is complete uniformity between the RS (30) and the SRS' (104) regarding the phenomenon of the appearance of
