Upāsakadaśānga dealing with the discipline of a Jaina layman may be looked upon
as a complementary part to this Ācārānga. Begins.-fol. I श्रीवीतरागाय नमः॥

Dhanapatisinh, Calcutta, in A. D. 1880. So it may be looked upon as editio princeps. It contains besides Acärāngasutra, its Sanskrit commentary by Silanka Suri, Pradipika, a similar work of Jinahamsa Sūri, the Bālāvabodha by Pärśvacandra Sūrī and as an appendix the Niryukti composed by Bhadrabāhusvāmin. The text (part I was edited by Hermann Jacobi, in A. D. 1882. In its perface he has compared the Jaina Prākrit with Pali. The text together with the niryukti and Silānka's commentary is also published by the Agamodaya Samiti in two parts in Sanvat 1972 and 1973 respectively. The first śrutaskandha with a careful analysis of the style is edited and published by Walther Schubring, Leipzig, in A. D. 1910. This work is published in A. D. 1924 by the Jaina
Sahitya Samsodhaka Samiti of Poona, too. ... ... ... ... ... The English translation of the text by H. Jacobi was 10 published in the Sacred Books of the East (vol. XXII), Ox
