Title: Vyakhyāprajñapti (Skt); or Bhagavai; Bhagavatī (Skt).
Contents: "[T]he holy teachings of explanations,' usually entitled briefly 'Bhagavati' contains a bulky, circumstantial presentation of the dogmatics of Jinism, partly in the form of questions and answers, Mahāvīra replying to the questions of his principal disciple Goyama Indabhūti, and partly in the form of dialogue-legends (itihasa-samvada). The contents are a motley mixture of ancient doctrines and traditions with numerous later additions containing frequent allusions to other works, more especially the Paṇhav., Jīvābhi., Uvav., RayPa., Nandi and Ayar. This work gives a more vivid picture than any other ... of the life and work of Mahāvīra, his relationship to his disciples and contemporaries, and his whole personality" (Winternitz 1933:2, 442-43).
