E. Leumann, An outline of the Āvaśyaka Literature
[4] The Svādhyāya (C II) occurs here in one case without and in another case with C II before A. Also in D the Svādhyāya, as such, is connected with A since the appendix of A (as we saw above), to a large extent, depicts an abbreviated version of the Svādhyāya. Actually, however, the Svādhyāya only has contact with A in that both of its Bhakti sections (śrīŚrutajñāna- & śrī-ācārya-) are arranged according to schema A. They are used in the paurvâhnikasvādhyāya-pratisthāpana-kriyā (therefore the title), whereas A is devoted to the paurvâhạikadevavandanā and the appendix of A to the ācāryavandanā. Both Bhakti sections have been edited in B II & V according to schema B. For this reason, their Pkt.-formulas (4) are identical with B II 4 or V 4. Apparently, 3 also contains the original stanzas of B II 3 or V 3. The Sāmāyika (2) is abbreviated both times in the manner of d (cp. above, p. 3°26).
Presently, the conclusion of P is not available. Therefore, it is not possible to say with any certainty how many of the foregoing six fragments are lacking in it. In any case, I and VII Devanandin's Siddhipriyaih-stotra are available.
K is available as an incomplete collective manuscript (S 363) that assigns only I & VI to the Kriyākalāpa from the foregoing list. On the other hand, III & IV, along with many other hymns in other parts of the manuscript, are encountered; their complete contents are:
a. CIV. b. Nandiśvara-stotra.
Dșstâstaka.
Samavasaranâstaka. e. hotchpotch without an overall designation; this is the Kriyākalāpa..
five hymns. g. Canarese hymns. h. C III. i. Bhūpāla-stotra (with Canarese commentary) 1-18; the remainder is lacking.
In the Kriyākalāpa K himself has: VIIIa Suprabhāta (different than the one by Padmanandin; Pancav. XVII), IX a Svapnāvalī, X a threefold veneration-formula with the name of 3 x 24 prophets.
Sodobně
A-C in K & P.
K & P distribute A over B & C. To begin with, they connect VIII 1 f. (by replacing caitya with siddha) with B I 1-4 to a hypertrophic Bhakti (that before had the four parts in accordance with schema B, still two heterogeneous ones according to schema A!). In this way the Avaśyaka sections of A only become a simple introduction to B. P, then, also deals with the same, together with B in the Kriyākalāpa-tīkā I under the complete title “Bhakti-vivarana" that ignores any textual autonomy of the introduction. K, in connection with BC, then picked up the remaining contents of A, i.e. the Sānty-astaka and VIII 3 f. (as atrophic caitya-bhakti!), etc.(without the appendix). P picks up (at least, in the manuscript made use of) only the Sānty-astaka as well as VIII 3 & X3 and all this only in connection with C.
The sequence in Prabhācandra's mixture AC is:
A VIII 3 & CI C VII, sānty-astaka, AX3......
Kriyakal.-t. II
Kriyākal.-t. III K groups the entirety as follows (Bh. = Bhakti): Airyāp. & Sāmāy. (with Bh. VIII 1 f.), Bh. I, IX-XI together with the expanded "conclusion", Sānty-astaka, Bh. IV f., C VIII f., Bh. VI, II f., VIII 3 (along with the inclusion of C VI & X) & 4, VII, C I.
It still remains to be determined that P only takes note of the framework of A & B, from A only the 2 + 7 Avaśyaka fragments along with the Sānty-aştaka as well as the third parts of the retrieved Bhakti sections (VIII 3 & X 3),
