preached it after having perceived things directly and [because they had destroyed all the faults. The perfect masters are the leaders of the religious group (ganadhara) and they are direct disciples of the saviors and possessed of special cognitive abilities. Depending upon their memory, the leaders wrote books which presupposed the anga. The books are authentic because the anga is authentic. The 'remote' teachers wrote books such as the Daśavaikālika for the benefit of their disciples who could not enjoy longevity and had the weakness of mental power and vital power due to the defect of aging."
First let us compare the titles of the texts in the inside anga category listed here with those of the inside anga category accepted by the Svetāmbara tradition. All titles in both traditions are the same with little difference: in the Digambara tradition the sixth begins with Jrātr- while in the Svetāmbara sources it begins with Jñātā-; and the seventh ends in -adhytyana in the former while it ends in -daśāh in the latter. The sequence of the twelve titles in the two traditions is quite the same.
Pujyapada mentions two titles among the outside anga category: Daśavaikälika and Uttarädhyavana. In the Svetämbara tradition these two comprise a group of sacred literatures named mūla or 'root' and are regarded as being among the oldest texts. This fact suggests that he realized the importance of these two texts.
