3 PAIŅŅAS PRAKIRŅAKAS (Skt)'
The group of miscellaneous texts. In spite of occasional earlier editions, the publication by Punyavijaya and Amrtlal Bhojak of two volumes of a collected edition from 1984 onwards marked a major step forward in the availability of many of these texts, some of which had not been published until then. The full bibliographic description and analysis of this important edition is given first below, and abbreviated reference only is made to it in the subsequent bibliographies, ie. it is referred to as Painnayasuttāim JĀS 17 (Part II).

I have not had time to check the multiple titles "Arāhana-"etc. individually in each of the editions available at the ANU, so the list here is provisional. Minor Prakirakas have not yet been explored, neither in BORI Cat, CLIO nor JRK. I cannot be sure of the contents of *Vividh Payannāvacūri. Jāmnagar, 1912 (Schubring 1935 $50). The Library of Congress catalogue entry says Part 3 was published in 1989, but I have not been able to confirm that.
