held divergent views on single topics. The word adeśa was used for a viewpoint. This agama is supplementary in nature. Hence it embodies various view-points of the sthaviras. The commentator uses adeśa in the sense of "kinds". In essence the compilation of various viewpoints is clearly proved. In Jiväjivabhigame, 2/20, we find four adeśas whereas in 2/48 there are five. The commentator is of the view that only the extraordinarily gifted persons can pass a judgment as to which of five alesas is proper. There were no such gifted persons during the period of the sthaviras, hence the commentator has obviously abstained from expressing his own views on the subject. He has simply compiled the available adelas.
The sthaviras are the authors of this agama. This is clearly indicated at the beginning of the agama."
Commentaries
Two commentaries are available on this sūtra-one by Acarya Haribhadra, and the other by Acarya Malayagiri. The former is concise whereas the latter is quite cloborate. Malayagiri's vṛtti contains the ascription "iti vṛddhāḥ" as well as the mention of the original text, the commentator and the curni at several places:
