- However, its detailed explanation has been taken from other Sutras. In the description of Akriya-vada, a lot of text has been taken from the second Sutra of the second study of the 'Suyagdang Sutra' from the Adharmapaksa.

In the eighth dasha, there is a description of the five Kalyanas of Shri Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira Swami. The name of this dasha is Paryushana Kalpa. The original Sutra of this dasha has been collected from the first uddeshya of the fifth place of the Sthananga Sutra. This same text is also found in the twenty-fourth study of the second Shruta-skandha of the Acharanga Sutra and in the beginning of the Kalpasutra.

In the tenth dasha, nine types of Nidana Karmas have been described. Its upoddhat has been taken briefly from the Aupapatik Sutra and the remaining text seems to have been taken from the Aupapatik Sutra or the Suyagdang Sutra, the second Shruta-skandha, or from other texts. And the description of nine Nidana Karmas has been collected from some other Jain Agam. Because many Agam have also been destroyed.
These are the basis-texts of this composition. It is clear from this that Shri Bhadrabahu Swami, who edited this Sutra, did not add anything from his side in this Sutra. He compiled this Sutra on the subject of conduct based on the Angadi Sutras for the benefit of the people. Rather, you could say that he has collected the text on the subject of conduct from the said Anga Sutras in one place. His objective in compiling this Sutra, as we have said, was only to improve the conduct of the disciple-community and the people. After editing it, he placed it on place-2.
