THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
Vivāhapaṇṇatti and Panṇatti1; the 10th 2: Paṇhāvāgaraṇa and Paṇhāvāgaraṇadasă and the 12th 10 Ditthivāta, Heüvāta, Bhūyavāta2, Taccāvāta, Sammāvāta, Dhammāvāta, Bhāsāvijata, Puvvagata, Anujogagata and Savvapāṇabhūtajīvasattasuhävaha.3 It may be mentioned en passant that the 6th, 7th and 9th Angas have more than one title in Samskṛta, though each has only one in Prakṛta. To be explicit, the 6th Anga has 3: Jñātādharmakathā, Jñātadharmakatha and Jñātṛdharmakatha5; the 7th 2 Upāsakadaśā and Upāsakādhyayanadaśā; and the 9th 2: Anuttaraupapatikadaśā and Anuttaropapātikadaśā.

Turning to the anga-bahira works we find that some of them, too, have more Prākṛta titles than one. As for example the 1st Uvanga has 2 Ovavaiya and Uvavaiya; the 3rd 2: Jivabhigama and Jivājīvābhigama; and the 8th 2 Nirayavaliya and Kappiya. Of the remaining Agamas, Nisīha has 4 Nisiha, Nisihajjhayaṇa, Ayārapagappa and Paggappa'; Dasāsuyakkhandha, 4 Dasāsuyakkhandha, Ayāradasā, Dasā and Dasāsuya; Uttarajjhayaṇa, 2 Uttarajjhayana and Uttarajjhāyā; Dasaveyāliya, 2: Dasaveyaliya and Dasakāliya; Caüsarana, 2: Caüsaraṇa
1. This name occurs in Antagaḍadasa (vagga VI, para 2) and in Vivagasuya (suyakkhandha I, ajjhayana 2). The pertinent lines are respectively as under : 'तए णं से मकाई गाहावई इमीसे कहाए लद्धडे जहा पण्णत्तीए गंगदत्ते"
" इन्दभूई नामं अणगारे जाव लेस्से छछट्टेण जहा पण्णत्तीए "
2. Instead of this we have Bhuyāvāya too (vide p. 13, fn. 2).
3.
“ दिट्ठिवायस्स णं दस नामवेज्जा पं० तं० - दिट्टिवातेति वा हेउवातेति वा भूयवातेति वा तच्चावातेति वा सम्मावातेति वा धम्मावातेति वा भासाविजतेति वा पुव्वगतेति वा अणुजोगगतेति वा सव्वपाणभूतजीवसत्तसुहावहेति वा "
Thana (X; s. 742).
4. See p. 31, fn. 7.
5.
See the following line of Tattvärtharajavārtika (p. 51):
“ तद्यथा - आचारः, सूत्रकृतं, स्थानं, समवायो, व्याख्याप्रज्ञप्ति:, ज्ञातृधर्मकथा, उपासकाध्ययनं, अंतकृद्दश, अनुत्तरौपपातिकदश, प्रश्नव्याकरणं, विपाकसूत्रं दृष्टिवाद इति ।"
6. This word occurs in Nisihabhäsa as can be seen from the following line occurring
in D C G C M (Vol. XVII, pt. II, p. 10)
" आयारपगप्पस्स उ इमाई गोण्णाई णामधिज्जाई'
See also Ayäranijjutti (v. 291).
7. Cf. D C G C M (Vol. XVII, pt. III, p. 437). 8. See p. 47, fn. 2.
