There were four yamas during the reign of Tak. Uttaraadhyayanasutra 203, Bhagavati 204, etc. are evidence of this. In the present Samavay, the Vaithadya mountain is said to be twenty-five yojanas high, but due to carelessness, twenty-five dhanushas have been printed, which is not correct. Thus, the twenty-fifth Samavay contains a collection of material. The twenty-sixth to twenty-ninth Samavayas: An Analysis
The twenty-sixth Samavay mentions twenty-six Uddeshan Kalas of the Dasashrutaskandha, Kalpasutra and Vyavaharsutra. It describes the twenty-six natures of the mohaniya karma of the abhavya jivas, the twenty-six palyopama and sagaropama states of the narakas and devas.
The twenty-seventh Samavay describes the twenty-seven qualities of a Shraman, the twenty-seven days of the nakshatra masa, the twenty-seven natures of the mohaniya karma of a bandha-free jiva with vedak samyaktva, the twenty-seven angula paurushi shadow on the seventh day of Shravan Sudi, and the twenty-seven palyopama and sagaropama states of the narakas and devas.
The twenty-eighth Samavay describes the twenty-eight types of Acharaprakalpa. It mentions the twenty-eight natures of the mohaniya karma in the bhavasiddhika jivas. There are twenty-eight types of Abhinibodhik knowledge. There are twenty-eight lakh vimanas in the Ishana Kalpa. The name karma that binds the deva gati binds twenty-eight natures, and the naraki jiva also binds twenty-eight natures. The difference is between auspicious and inauspicious. It describes the twenty-eight palyopama and sagaropama states of the narakas and devas.
Here, first of all, the twenty-eight types of Acharaprakalpa are described. Acharya Sanghadas Ganii 205 considered the following as synonyms for Nishita's Achar, Agra, Prakalpa, Chulika: Achar, Agra, Prakalpa, Chulika. The said scripture is related to Charan Karananuyoga. Therefore, its name is "Achar". There are five Agras in Acharangasutra - four Achar Chulas and Nishita. Therefore, Nishita is called Agra. 206 Nishita is created from the ninth Purva Achar Prabhut, therefore its name is Prakalpa. The second meaning of Prakalpa is also "to pierce". 207 In Agam literature, Nishita is called "Ayara Kalpa". Agra and Chula are both words with the same meaning. Twenty-eight types of Abhinibodhik knowledge have been described. In Nandi Sutra 208, and also in Tattvarth Sutra 206, Tattvarth Bhashya 210, Tattvarth Rajavartika 211, Visheshavashak Bhashya 212, etc., knowledge has been discussed in detail. 213 Here, only a hint has been given. In this way, the twenty-eighth Samavay contains a collection of material.
