1.4 SAMAVAYA (Samav.)
Title: Samavāyānga (Skt).
Content: "[In a way a continuation of the third [Anga], the subject matter of the first two-thirds of the work being arranged in numerical groups, just like the Thānanga, except that in this case the numbers do not stop at ten, but go a long way beyond a hundred, as far as a million. "The work begins with an enumeration of the twelve Angas and a table of contents of the fourteen Puvvas. At the conclusion, however, we find very exact data regarding not only the contents but also the extent of all the twelve Angas, including the Samavāya itself. There is evidence of the fact that the Anga in its present form is either a late work or that it contains portions of later date ... The data in regard to the extent of the Angas do not tally with their present extent, and some of the figures given are very fantastic" (Winternitz 1933:2, 441-42).
