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: --

In this connection I may add that the seventh section of Mūlāyāra 3 ( Mulācāra ) of Vattakerasvămin is known by the name of Avăssayanijjutti. This Digambara work resembles Avaśyakasútraniryukti in several respects such
as six divisions etc. See “ Übersicht über die Āvaśyaka-Literatur ” (p. 2.). lbid., p. 31. For a pertinent portion of this see the above-mentioned work pp. 16-19.
