THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
[ CHAP.
(1) Satthaparinna, (2) Logavijaya, (3) Siosanijja, (4) Sammatta, (5) Logasara, (6) Dhuya, (7) Mahaparinna, (8) Vimokkha, and (9) Uvahānasuya.1
By the time Bhadrabahusvāmin wrote a Nijjutti on Ayāra, there were Ayarajgas added to this 1st section. Ayarugga means a Culika. So says Silanka Suri in his com. (p. 6) on Agara. From Ayaranijjutti (v. 11)3 we learn that Ayuru, the 1st Anga, herein styled as Veda, has 9 ajjhayanas, each known as Bambhacera. It consists of 18000 payas (Sk. padus), has 5 Culas and is vast and vaster5 on account of the extent of the padus. It may be noted that nowhere in the Ayaranijjutti, we come across the names of all the 5 Culas. From its v. 2976 we learn the names of Culas 2 to 5. They are (1) Sattikkaga, (2) Bhāvanā, (3) Vimutti and (4) Ayārapakappa. Further, we learn that the 1st Cula consists of 7 ajjhayanas, and so is the case with the 2nd Cula. Each of the rest has, however, only one.
An
1 These are the names given in Ayaranijjutti (v. 31-32) quoted on p. 77, fn. 5. these except the 7th are translated in S. B. E. (vol. XXII) as knowledge of the weapon, conquest of the world, hot and cold, righeousness, essence of the world, cleaning, liberation and the pillow of righteousness respectively. “आयारग्गाणत्थो बंभच्चेरेसु सो समोयरइ । सोऽवि य सत्थपरिण्णाऍ पिंडिअत्थो समोसरइ ।। १२ ।। " -Āyaranijjutti
Ayaragga is also called Ayäranga. See p. 113, fn. 2. See p. 78, fn. 6.
14. Cf. "नव बंभचेरा पन्नत्ता, तं जहा - सत्यपरिण्णा लोगविजओ etc. - Samavāya (s. 9 ) See also Samavaja (s. 51) and Silanka's com. (p. 290) on Ayāra.
5 For explanation sea-p. 78, fn. 6.
6 " जावो गहपडिमा पढमा सत्तिकमा विश्अचूला भावण-विमुत्ति आयारपकप्पा तिन्नि इभ पंच ॥ २९७॥”
7
On this understanding can it not be named as Sattikkaga as has been done in the case of the 2nd Cula?
8 Thus, the 1st 4 Culas have 16 ajjhayanas. Their names are given as under by Malayagiri Suri in his com. (p. 211a) on Nandi by way of a quotation:
"
पिंडेसण (१) सेज्जि (२) रिया (३) भासजाया (४) य वत्थ ( ५ ) पाएसा ( ६ ) । • उग्गहपडिमा (७) सत्तसत्तिक्कया (८-१४) य भावण (१५) विमुत्ती (१६) ॥”
Herein there are no specific names for ajjhayanas 8-14. In a way, this 3is justifiable since each of them is spoken of as Sattikkaya
or Sattik
kaga or the like.
However, from the ending portion of each of them
