They are. But to preserve this statement of his in the disciple-tradition, it was compiled. Sri Bhadrabahu Swami did it.
The basis of the composition is the names of the texts on which this sutra is based, according to the ten chapters, we give below for the convenience of the readers:
In this, a large part has been taken from the Samavayanga Sutra with only a few changes, such as the description of twenty asamadhi-sthana in the first chapter. All this has been quoted from the 'Samavayanga Sutra' in the form of a sutra from the twentieth chapter. The only difference is that in the 'Samavayanga Sutra', the description of the asamadhi-sthana has been started by giving only the text 'Vīsāsamāhiṭhāṇā paṇṇattā taṁ jahā', but here the text 'Suyaṁ me āusaṁ teṇaṁ' etc. has been added along with the said text. In the second, the place has also been changed in some places. Apart from this, no other difference is found in them.
The twenty-one 'shabala-dosha' of the second chapter have also been quoted verbatim from the Samavayanga Sutra. The difference is only in the introductory sentence like the first chapter. The 'ashasana' of the third chapter have also been taken from this sutra in the same form.
The fourth chapter describes eight types of 'gani-sampat'. The mere name-designation of these eight types of wealth is described in the eighth chapter of the 'Sthananga Sutra'. Nothing special has been said about it there. Therefore, all the other differences, teachings found here and the special features of the description have been collected from some other sutra.
The fifth chapter describes 'chitta-samadhis'. Only the introductory part has been taken from the Aupapatik Sutra in a concise form. After this, the prose text of the ten chitta-samadhis has been quoted from the tenth chapter of the Samavayanga Sutra and the remaining verse part seems to have been collected from some other sutra.
The sixth chapter describes the eleven images of the Shramanopasaka. Its 6. The original text in the form of a sutra has also been collected from the eleventh chapter of the Samavayanga Sutra.
