THE EXTINCT AGAMAS OF THE JAINAS
109 XVII Teyaganisagga—This work has for its subject-matter a discharge of a
fiery substance. The acquisition of tejoleśyā? and perhaps that of
śītaleśyā may have been treated in this work. XVIII Kappiyakappiya-This is a work which deals with the two topics viz.
pa (what should be practised of is acceptable) and akalpa, its
opposite. XIX Culla-Kappasuya-This work explains what is kalpa. Its title suggests
that it is a smaller treatise as compared with Mahākappasuya. XX Mahā-Kappasuya-This work, too, deals with kalpa. It is so named
either because it is voluminous or because it is deep in meaning. This is probably a Cheyasutta; but, on that account it is not possible to identify it with any of the six well-known Cheyasuttas. It will be
lly to think that this work is the same as Kappa (Brhatkalpasūtra); for, it is mentioned over and above Kappa in Visesão (v. 2295)3
As stated in the Bhāsa (p. 1086) on Vavahāra (X), Vaggacūliyā is a cūliyā of Mahākappasuya4 The pertinent verse is as under:
"अंगाणमंगचूली महाकप्पसुयस्स वग्गचूलीओ।
Paalearen gou gourenta gutyont il fou li?? XXI Mahāpannavaņā—This work treats of the topics of Pannavaņā to a
greater extent than what is done in Pannavanā. Along with this it
makes up the two Uvangas of Samavāya.? 1 This may be due to a penance or the study of this work. This is what is said in the following verse of Bhāsa (p. 110o) on Vavahāra :
"तेयस्स निसरणं खलु आसीविसत्तं तहेव दिट्ठिविसं ।
लद्धीतो समुप्पजे समहीएसुं तु एएसु ॥११७॥" 2 See Viāhapannatti (XV ; s. 543). 3 See p. 39.
Abhayadeva Súri in his com. (p. 513) on Thāņa (s. 755) however strikes a different note. For, he says: "अङ्गस्य-आचारादेश्चूलिका यथाऽऽचारस्यानेकविधा, इहोक्तानुक्तार्थसङ्ग्राहिका चूलिका, वग्गचूलिय त्ति इह च वर्ग:-अध्ययनादिसमूहः, यथा अन्तकृद्दशासु अष्टौ वर्गास्तस्य चूलिका वर्गचूलिका, विवाहचूलिय त्ति व्याख्या
भगवती तस्याश्चूलिका व्याख्याचूलिका ।" 5 Malayagiri Sūri while commenting upon this says :. "अङ्गानामुपासकदशाप्रभृतीनां पञ्चानां चूलिका निरावलिका अङ्गचूलिका, महाकल्पश्रुतस्य चूलिका वर्गचूलिका,

Avassaya. 7 See p. 33, fm. 2.
