Vikrama Era Kammaviväga Devendra Sūri 13-14th cent. Kammatthava 3 Bandhasamitta
Chāsii “Sayaga
From this it will be seen that several writers have treated this subject so much so that the works dealing with this doctrine, occupy a great bulk of Jaina literature.
As regards the sources of these works we have to turn to the Jaina canonical texts (some of which are now extinct ). Of the extant ones Pannavana (chs. XVII & XXIII-XXVII), Uttaraji hayana (chs. XXXIII, XXXIV & XXXVI and Viyahapannatti ( 6some portions here and there ) represent the earliest exposition of this doctrine.
Kammappavaya ( the 8th puvua out of 14 ) as its very name suggests, must have been a special treatise on the doctrine of karman. But it is extinct, as is the case with other puvvas of Ditthivaya.
Nanappavāya is the fifth puvva and Agganiya the second. Fortunately we come across works based upon these two puvvas. For instance, ? Rasayapahuda of Guñadhara, a Digambara saint is extracted from the sth puvva whereas & Rammapayadi and Bandhasayaga of Sivašarman (a Svetāınbara saint ) along with to Sattariya
1-5 Each of these works is furnished with an auto-oonimentary. They form a group known as “qis ay gu".
6 For a fairly consolidated attempt see Bhagavatīsāra (pp. 452-482 ) by Mr. G. I. Patel.
