11. Pupphaculão. 10 ajjhayana. 1. The goddess Siri going on a pilgrimage in order to pay homage to Mahāvīra had been Bhuya converted by Pasa in her pre-existence. One day she is reprimanded by her lady superior for having thoroughly washed her body, but yet she repeats doing so. That lady is called Pupphaculão ajjão (comp. Nãy. II 1). The duration of Bhūya's existence and her moksa are consonant with 2-10 except the name of the goddess.
12. Vanhidasão. Not "ten" ajjhayana, but 12. 1. Prince Nisaḍha, son of King Baladeva and his wife Revai of Baravaî, was converted to laymanship by Aritthanemi. When being asked by Varadatta, one of A.'s disciples for the reason of N.'s bodily perfection, Aritthanemi gives an account of N.'s preexistence as Prince Virangaya who was converted by a master called Siddhantā nāmam āyarıyā. N. later becomes a member of the order; after his death he will be reborn as a god, and, finally, he will gain salvation. 2-12 are of the same tenor, but the princes are called differently. They all belong to the same dynasty of the (Andhaka-) Vrsni (comp. Nandi 418f.), whence the title of the text.
THE
PAINNAS
The Painņas
§50. The number of the Painnas varies, but, as mentioned in § 40, we find a central group or core. It consists of 10 of them. Since these have no standard order we are justified to deal with them in an order suitable to their contents. There will be added a few works that surround the centre group in a wider circle.
