Bhagaval 4:Preface
Muni Kalyana Vijayji, on account of the word mula (in Mülaprathamānuyoga) mentioned in Nandi, has conjectured two Prathamānuyogas. Kālakācārya's disciples at Ujjaini did not accept the Anuyogas composed by Kālakācārya. Eventually Kalakācārya went to the ascetic, named, Sagara in Suvarnabhumi, where his Anuyoga was accepted."
On the evidence of the above reference, it can not be denied that the later Anuyoga-sutras like the 'sansäramandala' were incorporated in the text of the Inner Corpus for assigning authenticity to them. It is very much necessary to investigate whether the insertion was made at Devardhigani's synod or at some later period by some eminent Acārya.
Thus the present volume of the Bhagavati has been enormously enriched by the incorporation of a multitude of scriptural extracts, spread, over a number of
centuries.
The reason behind such abridgement of the present Sataka (IV), in the mind of the author of the scripture or its complier, deserves deep/critical investigation.
The Viahapannatti is a description of the expositions of central problems of Jain Philosophy and Religion. The nucleus of this text is, as pointed by Jozef Deleu, "a bewildering amalgam of detached teachings. The diversity of the topics discussed, and in many cases, that of persons and circumstances attending these discussion all but defy methodical description."" Deleu has noted a number of accretions made in the texts from time to time. For instance, "Sataka XXI to XXIII are the first secondary Pannatti added to the nucleus of the Viahapannat." "Sataka XXIV is a further addition to XXI to XXIII and enlarges upon the topic 'rebirths' by taking into account all the 24 kinds of beings, among which also figure the plants, already treated in XXI to XXIII."12
