THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
the 1st suyakkhandha of Vivāgasuya', whereas the 2nd, the 3rd, the 5th, the 9th and the 10th are equated with the 2nd, the 3rd, the 5th, the 9th and the 10th of the same suyakkhandha by Abhayadeva Suri in his com. (pp. 507b, 508a and 508b) on Thāna. Thus it seems that none of the ajjhayanas of Kammavivāgadasā is lost. Same is the case with the 10 ajjhayanas of Uvāsagadasā. 2 For, their names as given in Thāna (s. 755) tally with those 3 given in Uvāsagadasā (p. 1).
III Antagaḍadasā has 10 ajjhayaṇas the names of which are mentioned in Thāna (s. 755 ) as under:
“ णमि १ मातंगे २ सोमिले ३ रामगुत्ते ४ सुदंसणे ५ चेव ? जमाली ६ त भगाली त ७ किंकंमे ८ पलते ति य ९ ॥ फाले अंबड त १० एमेते दस आहिता ॥ "
Turning to the available Antagaḍadasă we do not find therein these 10 ajjhayanas but come across 8 vaggas, and that the 1st vagga has ten ajjhayaṇas as noted in its following verse:
" गोयम समुह सागर गंभीरे चेव होइ थिमिए य ।
अयले कंपिल्ले खलु अक्खोभ पसेणइ वही | 24
Thus the names herein entirely differ from those mentioned above.5 Abhayadeva Sūri however reconciles this incongruity by saying that
1
" मियापुत्ते य उज्झियए अभग्ग सगडे बहस्सइ नन्दी ।
2
उम्बर सोरियदत्ते य देवदत्ता य अञ्जु य ॥” " आणंदे १ कामदेवे २ अ गाहावति चूलणीपिता ३ । सुरादेवे ४ चुल्लसतते ५ गाहावति कुंडकोलिते ६ ॥
सद्दालपुत्ते ७ महासतते ८ नंदिणीपिया ९ सालतियापिता १० ।”

Vivāgasuya (I)
We have here the above verses almost ad verbatim.
This verse is quoted by Abhayadeva Suri in his com. (p. 509 ) on Thāna, but there instead of Vanhi we have Viņhū.
All of them except..
Kinkama which occurs as a name of the 2nd ajjhayana of the 6th vagga differ from the names of the ajjhayanas of the remaining 7 vaggas as can be seen from the following verses of the extant Antagaḍadasă :
"अक्खोभ सागरे खलु समुद्द हिमवंत अयलनामे य ।
धरणे य पूरणे वि य अभिचंदे चेव अट्ठमए ॥" -p. 4
"अणीयसे अणंतसेणे अजियसेणे अहिणयरिऊ देवजसे सत्तुसेणे सारणे गए सुमुहे दुम्मुहे
कूवए दारुए अणाहिट्ठी ॥ " - p. 4
