Subject. This 8th Anga consisting of one śrutaskandha with 8 vargas having 10, 10, 13, 10, 10, 16, 13 and 10 uddeśakas respectively, deals with the antakṛt-kevalins. They are the persons who lived only for a short time after they had attained omniscience. That is to say there was a very small interval left between their attaining omniscience and final emancipation.
