"I will tell you about the punishment," as it is said, similarly in the Shatkhandagama, after contemplating the smallness of the number of living beings through the fourteen stages of the fourteen paths of motion, etc., in the fourteen Gunasthanas, the Mahadanḍaka is mentioned at the end of the presented topic. In the Prajñapana, the living being is taken as the center and the description is given, while in the Shatkhandagama, karma is taken as the center and the analysis is done, but in the second section called Khuddaband (Kshudrakaband), the idea of the bondage of the living being is discussed through the fourteen paths of motion, whose style is very similar to the Prajñapana. Many verses of Prajñapana 55 are found in the Shatkhandagama with some changes in words. Even the verses of Pavashyakaniyukti and Visheshavashyak are found in it. Similarly, the subject matter of both Prajñapana and Shatkhandagama is the same, their original source is also the same. However, due to different authors, the style of presentation of both is different. In some places, the presentation of Prajñapana is more systematic than the Shatkhandagama. My intention here is not that the authors of the Shatkhandagama, Acharya Pushpadanta and Acharya Bhootbali, copied the Prajñapana, but it is absolutely true that the composition of the Prajñapana took place before the Shatkhandagama. / Meaning: Its influence must have been on the composer of the Shatkhandagama. Jivaabhigam and Prajñapana Jivaabhigam is the third Upanga and Prajñapana is the fourth Upanga. Both these Agamas are external to the Anga and are therefore established. Jivaabhigam is an Upanga of the Sthananga Anga, while Prajñapana is of the Samavayanga. In both these Agamas, Jivaabhigam and Prajñapana, the various forms of the living being and the non-living being have been described. In both of them, after describing the non-living being first, the living being is described. The main difference between both these Agamas is that Jivaabhigam, being an Upanga of Sthananga, has the description of one to ten divisions. / The description of up to ten is almost the same in both. / In Prajñapana, that order progresses. The question is, in both these Agamas, Prajñapana and Jivaabhigam 54. Shatkhandagama, Book 7, p. 745 55. Samayam Vaktanam, Samayam Teshi Sarira Nivvatti.
