**It is proposed to present the Upanga Dwaya (two Upangas) by:**
* Providing the location of the Prathipattis cited in the Upanga Dwaya.
* Providing the original text of the Prathipatti from the source text.
* Refuting other viewpoints and presenting the justification for the accepted viewpoint.
**This can be achieved by using modern editorial methods.**
**Alternatively:**
* Commission a detailed research paper on the Chandra-Surya Prajnapti through a research institution.
* Encourage a qualified Shraman-Shramani or scholar to write the research paper.
* Provide the necessary resources for writing the research paper.
* Honor the author of the research paper.
**All these are great acts of Shruta Seva (service to the scriptures).**
**A widespread misconception:**
**The 17th Prathipatti-Prathipatti of the 10th Prathipatti of both Upangas contains separate food regulations for each constellation. These include regulations for meat consumption.**
**This raises a concern in the mind of a general student:**
1. (a) The question-sutra (question-verses) preceding these Prathipattis are incomplete.
(b) The Sutra-ansha (sutra-verses) presenting the personal opinion following these Prathipattis are also incomplete.
**The compilers of the Upanga Dwaya have not provided the names of the source texts, the names of the authors, the chapters, the verses, or the sutra numbers for the Prathipattis they have cited.**
