Jinabhadra Gani's a Gani's
[The second There was a preceptor named Vasusūri in the Guñasilaka caitya of Rājagriha. He was well-versed in all the fourteen Purvas. He had a pupil named Tișyagupta. During the course of his study of the Pūrvas, Tisyagupta was once overcome by vanity, as a result of which, he left the caitya and came to the city of Amalakalpā. There, he was convinced (of the validity of the Acārya's view) by a Śrāvaka named Mitraśri who offered him lumps of boiled rice etc. 38–39 (2333-2334).
The whole story is told in details as follows:आयप्पवायपुवं अहिजमाणस्स तीसगुत्तस्स । नयमयमयाणमाणस्स दिहिमोहो समुप्पण्णो ॥४०॥२३३५।। 40. Ayapparāyapurvam ahijjamāṇassa Tisaguttassa i
Nayamayamayāŋamānassa dițghimoho samuppaņņo (2335) [आत्मप्रवादपूर्वमधीयानस्थ तिष्यगुप्तस्य । नयमतमजानतो दृष्टिमोहः समुत्पन्नः ॥४०॥२३३५॥ 40. Ātnapravādaparvamadhiyānasya Tisyaguptasya |
Nayamatamajānato dristimobaḥ samutpannaḥ (2335)]
Trans. 40. While studying a Parva named Ātma-pravāda (Ayappavāya )Tisyagupta not knowing the (real purport of) a particular school of thought, was disillusioned. 2335.
2. Ātma-pravāda (Āyappavāya) is one of fourteen Porvas incorporated in the Pūrvagata section of Dristivāda.
Parikrama, Satra, Anuyoga, Parvagata and Colikā are the five sections of Dristivāda.
Parvagata forms the inost important part of Driștivāda, on account of its containing the following fourteen Parvas viz :-- 1. Utpāda parva (Uppāya-parva). 2. Agrāyaṇīya-parva (Aggeanatha-puvva) 3. Viryapravāda-parva (Viriyappavāya puvva) 4. Atthinastippavāyapuvva (Astināstipravāda pūrva)
