SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS
221
Report (1881) p. 10; on a suyagadanijj. see Pet. Palm-leaf, 59, a dasaveālianijj, ib. 167. We have also citations from the nijj. in up. 5 and mulas, 1.
What follows is very interesting :
attham bhāsai araha | suttaṁ gamthamti ganahara niuņam | sasanassa (pasa!) hi atthae | tao suttaṁ pavattal ||13||
sāmāia-m-āiam | suanāņam jāva biṁdusãrão | tassa vi sāro caranam | sāro caraṇassa nivvāṇaṁ ||14||.
Here the contents of the doctrine is referred back to Arahan, but the composition of its textual form is ascribed to the ganaharas See pp. 216, 345, above p. 35 and p. 80. The word sāmāiam, which we have found in v. 8 used as the title of the first avaśyaka, is now used in its other signification, i.e. as the title of anga 1: for bindusara is the title of the first purva book in the diṭṭhivaa, anga 12. See above pp. 243, 244.
3. bia varacaria, 349 (also P, 359 B) vv., of like contents.2014 It begins Viram Ariṭṭhanemim Pasam Mallim ca Vasupujjam ca / ee muttūņa Jine avasesā āsi rāyāņo ... Despite its seeming exactness, its statements give the impression of being apocryphal. Verses 287 (297) fg. treat of Siddhattha and Tisala, 1015 the fourteen dreams of Tis,, etc.
[61] 4. uvasagga, 69(70 Pπ) vv., treats especially of Vira.1916 The statements made here in chapter 4 take almost no notice at all of the facts in reference to the life of Vira that are found here and there in the angas: nor does the Kalpasūtram (see p. 474) devote a greater amount of attention to this subject.
5. samavasaranam, 69(64 P) vv., as above.
6. ganaharavão, 88(33 P, 90B) vv. (is wanting in ); the history of the 11 pupils of Vira: Imdabhūi 1, Aggibhui 2, Vaubhai 3, Viatta 4, Suhamma 5, Mamḍia 6, Moriaputta 7, Akampia 8, Ayalabhāyā 9,
1014 Jina 6 is called Paumābha (v. 23), Jina 8 Sasippaha (v. 24), Jina 19 Malli appears as a masc. (Mallissa v. 30)
1015 On Devanaṁda see v. 279 (289); but Usabhadatta is not mentioned. We read Somilabhidhāno in the scholiast.
1016 Gosala v. 15 fg.
