Subject.-Angaculika generally refers to the culikäs of the angas like Acăränga. A work of the same name has been mentioned in Nandisūtra as a kind of kalika śruta. It is also referred to in Sthānanga (X). But it is difficult to say whether the work written in this Ms. is the same as the canonical work above referred to.
In the beginning we find the explanation of the word angaculika and the part which angacülikās play in adorning the 11 angas. The present work deals with the discipline of a Jaina saint. It is written in Jaina Prakrit. Begins. fol. rh नमो सुयदेवयाए भगवईए ॥
नमो अरिहंताणं नमो सिद्धाणं नमो आयरिआणं नमो उवज्झायाणं नमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं तेणं कालेणं तेणं समएणं च (चंपा णामं जयरी होत्था वण्णओ । पुण्णभद्दचेतिए । तेणं etc.
R
Ends. fol. 266 एवं भूइस्स पुरओ बूइ । आतारिसाए दिट्ठीए विहरंताणं । णो आणा विरहाणी सगण परगण परगणे संविगो साहूणं ही नाममा विहीलिस्संति सेसं उ वंगचूलियातो गहेयव्वं । विज्जामंतप्पओग (गे) तत्थ संति । सेवं भंते त्ति तमेव सच्च (चं) [ति] णिस्संकंजे जिणेहिंपचे ॥ मलिया समाजा ॥
