place in early' literature on account of rarity, clarity, nobility etc. of such works therein.
(71-72) Savagadhammasa māsa This work is named as Strāvakaprajñaptiprakarana by its commentator Haribhadra Sūri. All the same, since the work is in Päïya and since there is specific mention of Sāvagadhamma' and samāsa', I have coined this name. If we leave aside 'samāsa', it may be named as Sāvagadhamma'. It consists of 401 verses. At the end of the last verse several MSS. of the text end as follows:
"श्रीउमाखातिवाचककृता सावयपन्नत्ती सम्मत्ता". Though the authorship is thus attributed to Umāsvāti, I, for one, hold a different view, especially when the explanation of partial transgressions of the twelve vows of the laity differ from that given in the Bhāsya on TS, and when Abhayadeva in his com. (p. 3b ) on Pancāsaya (v. 2 ) cite the 2nd verse of this work as coming from the pen of Haribhadra. So if it is once agreed that the author of this work is not Umāsvāti, I can corroborate my view by saying that exposition of 15 karmädcīnas given here is found neither in TS nor in its Bhagya, though they occur in Uvāsagadasā (1, p. 11 of P. L. Vaidya's edn.) and Āvassaya (VI, 7, p. 829a ).
Verse 2993 is a quotation from Avassaya (VI, 9; p. 831b).
There is no doubt that the commentator of this work is Haribhadra Sūri, the author of AJP. The opening lines of this com. agree with those in the com. (p. 2) on AJP (Vol. I).
In the com. on v. 133 there is mention of "Saṁsāramocaka'.
(75a) Sāvagadhamma This is a small poem in Païya in 120 verses. Its title Sāvagadhamma' is mentioned by the author himself in the
