niryukti, its component parts have been treated by me separately as desired, and they have been accordingly given separate serial numbers.
Ernst Leumann believes that there have been four redactions of the Avaśyakasūtraniryukti : (1) Bhadrabāhu's redaction, ( 2 ) Siddhasena's redaction, ( 3 ) Jinbhata's reaction and ( 4 ) the Vulgata-redaction.' After entering into a learned discussion pertaining to these redactions he has recapitulated the results in a tabular form which I may here represent as under: --
Avaśyaka
Āvašyaka-niryukti

1 3rd 4th Ist Redac. 2nd Redac. Redac. Redac. II-VIII ( Uvaggha- I ( Pedhiyā) Therävali

XIV XV ( Păriţthāvan. XVI ( Sam- (Jhāṇ
iya-nijjutti) gahani) asaya ) XVII (Jogasam

In this connection I may add that the seventh section of Mülāyāra 3 (Mülācāra ) of Vaţtakerasvämin is known by the name of Avāssayanijjutti. This Digambara work resembles Avaśyakasútraniryukti in several respects such as six divisions etc.
