The 4 Bandha Pada-23 5-7. Samvara, Nirjara and Moksha Pada 36 =1 Pada, the remaining Pada contain the description of some Tattva. From the Jain perspective, all the Tattvas are coordinated in Dravya, Kshetra, Kala and Bhava. Therefore, Acharya Malayagiri has included Dravya in the first Pada, Kshetra in the second Pada, Kala in the fourth Pada and Bhava in the remaining Pada. The name of the fifth Anga is Vyākhyāprajñapti and its epithet is 'Bhagavati'. Prajñāpanā is also 'Bhagavati' 1. While this epithet is not used with any other Agama. This epithet is a symbol of the importance and specialness of Prajñāpanā. Bhagavati contains information about fulfilling the subject matter according to the one, two, five, six, eleven, fifteen, seventeen, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven Pada of the Prajñāpanā Sutra. It is to be noted here that even though Prajñāpanā is an Upanga, Bhagavati etc. are not mentioned in it. On the contrary, Bhagavati mentions Prajñāpanā. The main reason for this is that the topics discussed in Prajñāpanā are described in detail in it. In Mahayana Buddhists, the 'Prajñāpāramitā' text is of great importance. Therefore, the Aṣṭa Sāhasikā Prajñāpāramitā is also called 'Bhagavati'. 41 The author of Prajñāpanā, nowhere in the original Prajñāpanā is there any mention of its author. At its beginning, after the Mangala, there are two Gāthās. Both Acharya Haribhadra and Acharya Malayagiri have explained them. But they consider those Gāthās to be interpolated. Those Gāthās clearly mention - This is the creation of Shyamacharya. Acharya Malayagiri used the epithet 'Bhagavan' for Shyamacharya. 42 Arya Shyam belonged to the Vācak lineage. He was proficient in Purvaśruta. He exhibited unique art in the creation of Prajñāpanā, due to which he has suggested to see Prajñāpanā for discussing those topics in Anga and Upanga. In Nandi-Sthaviravali, the lineage of Acharyas from Sudharma onwards is mentioned. In it, the eleventh name is 'Vandimo Hariyam cha Samajj'. Arya Svāti, the disciple of Arya Balissah of the Harit gotra, was also from the Harit gotra family. Acharya Shyam was the disciple of Arya Svāti. But in the initial interpolated Gāthā of Prajñāpanā, Arya Shyam is described as belonging to the Vācak lineage and also on the twenty-third Patta. Acharya Malayagiri has also considered him to be in the twenty-third Acharya lineage. But 41. Shiksha Samuccaya, p. 104-112, 200 42.
