Samavāyāngasūtra
Samavāyānga (Samavāya, 97) expounds his total span in house-hold as nine thousand seven hundred years, implying that he lived three hundred years as monk. However, the commentator maintains that he spent little less than nine thousand seven hundred years as a householder and over three hundred as monk. B. According to Avaśyakaniryukti (gāthā 284) the number of nuns of the sixteenth Seer Šāntinātha is 61000. But according to Abhayadeva, this account is a different tradition".
