The text of this 'Adhyayana-vivarna' (description of study) indicates that the text which describes the five conduct-related practices is called Acaradasa. This same description is found in the Dasasrutaskandha-sutra without any changes. Therefore, it must be concluded that 'Acaradasa' is another name for the same text.
The author's conclusion is that although from the perspective of Arthagama, all scriptures are spoken by the venerable Lord Arhat, yet from the perspective of Sutragama, they are spoken by the Ganadhara, Sthavira, and even by each Buddha, etc. The authenticity of all these is accepted on the basis of the Anga scriptures. And the detailed explanations of the topics found in the Anga scriptures are seen in the Upanga scriptures. Now we have to decide who has presented this in the form of a sutra. While writing the commentary on this sutra, the commentator Matikirttigani writes about the word 'Anuyoga' - "Even the Ganadhara made its initial composition, therefore, the Dasasrutaskandha, which expounds it, is taken up as an Anuyoga. The explanation of the Dasasruta is the Dasasrutaskandha-anuyoga. The connection of the meaning after the sutra is Anuyoga, i.e. the study of the meaning after the sutra."
