"THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
[ CEAP.
this vācya we have a reference to sankhitta vāyanā on p. 51° and to vitthoravāyanā on p. 522. . Just as Pajjosanākappa is divided into 3 vācyas, so it is also divided by some of its commentators into 9 sections known as vācanās or vyākhyānas and into 9 ksaņas as well. These 9 sections seem to be more or less arbitrary so much so that at times one and the same sutta is so split up that one portion of it belongs to one vacanã and the remnant, to the other. Vide s. 15.
The extant Pajjosanākappa is known as Bārasāsütr', too. Its extent is said to be 1216 ślokas; but, on actual counting it comes to 100 slokas more. So says Dr. Bimala Churn Law in Jæina Antiquary (vol. II, No. III, p. 72).
This Pajjosaņākappa bas a very big number of commentaries', the only other Agama that can vie with it, to some extent in this respect, being Avassaya. 1 A tentative list of them may be given as under:
(i) Bhadrabāhusvāmin's Pajjosaņākappanijjutti (c. Vira Samvat 160). (ii) Pșthrîcandra Sūri's Paryusaņākalpatippanaka (13th century); (iii) Vineyacandra Sūri's Durgapadanirukta (Samvat 1325); (iv) Jinaprabha Sūri's Sandehavişauşadhi (Samvat 1364); (v) Jūānasāgara Sūri's Kalpa. siträvacuri (Samvat 1443); (vi) Jayasāgara Sūri's Sukhävabodhavivarana 15th century); (vii) Māņikyasekhara Sūri's Kalpasitraniryuktyavacūri ( 15th century); (viii) Dharmasāgara Gani's Kalpakiranavala (Samvat 1628); (ix) Subhavijaya's Kalpasūtravrtti (Samvat 1671); (x) Sanghavijaya Gani's Kalpapradipikā (Samvat 1674); (xi) Jayavijaya's Kalpadipika (Samat 1677): (xii) Samayasundara Pathaka's Kalpalata (Samvat 1684-86); (xiii) Sahajakirti's Kalpamanjari (Samvat 1685); (xiv) Vinayavijaya Gani's Kalpasubodhikā (Samvat 1696); (xv) Ajitadeva Sūri's Kalpasūtradipiká (Samvat 1698); (xvi) Kamalakirti's Kalpabālävabodha (17th century); (xvii) Sivanidhāna's Kalpabälavabodha ( 17th century ); (xviii) Šántisāgara's Kalpakaumudi (Samvat 1707 ); (xix) Khimāvijaya’s Kalpa. balavabodha (Sanvat 1707); (xx) Jiāna vijaya's Kalpajñānodipika (Samvat 1722); ( xxi) Vidyāvilāsa's Kalpabälävabodhu (Samvat 1729 ); (xxii) Dānavijaya's Dänadipika (Sarvat 1750); (xxiii) Udayasāgara's Kalpa. sitraurtti (Samvat 1755); and (xxiv) Lakşmivallabha's Kalpadrumakalikā (18th century).
Out of these the Mss. of Nos. i-iv, vii, viii, x-xiv, xviii, xx, xxiii and xxiv are described in D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt. II, pp. 90-199 ). Further, herein are dealt with, some anonymous avacürnis dated Santvat 1469, 1568 and 1618 and a few kalpantara våcyas.
