„" 13b , Age. — Samvat 1563. Subject. - This is the third chedasūtra. It deals with prescriptions
and interdictions. In short it points out what Jaina saints ought to do and what they are expected to refrain from ; in case of violating the prescribed rules, they have to go in for prāyaścittas (expiations). This chedasūtra is utilized in composing Gacchācāra.' and it has some portion in
common with Niśithasūtra.? . 1 See my Descriptive Catalogue of Jaina Manuscripts." (vol. XVII; pt. I, • No. 374 ) published by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute,
