CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE ĀGAMAS fund it difficult to remember all the four anuyogast associated with the Āgramas, divided them into four groups according to the anuyoga with which they were mainly concerned. On this basis we learn that the 1st 11 Angas and Dasaveyaliya are associated with carrozakaraanuyogo; Uttarjhayana and Isibhāsiya, with dharmakathanuyoga; Surapannatti, Jrambuddīvaipanncitti and the like, with ganitānuyogre; and the Puvragnya, with dravyānuyoga.? This information is incomplete; for, several scriptures are left out. It is however possible to fix the particular anuyoga in their case, too. Consequently instead of doing so, I shall define the four anuyogrs. C'aranırıkaraṇānuyoga takes into account the rules and regulations governing the life of a Jainaa clergy; dharmakathānuyoga3 deals with religious stories, parables and the like: ganitānuvoaof which kāla4 is a synonym, is associated with mathematics; and muyogres deals with philosophy-metaphysics, logic etc.
The Agamcıs can be also classified according to the number of their titles; for, there are at least some Agaimas which have more than one title. For instance, out of the 12 Aigas, the 2nd has 3: Sutagada, Suttakada and Sūyagada;o the 5th 5: Bhagwatăviyāhroprınnıtti, Bhagrivati, Viūhapannatti, Vivāhapannatti and
1 The earliest source mentioning the 4 anu yogas seems to be the Nijiutti on Dasaveyaliya.. The pertinont verses are as under:" सुयनाणे अणुओगेणाहिगयं सो चउनिहो होइ । चरणकरणाणुओगे धम्मे काले य दविए य॥३॥
अपहुत्तपुहुत्ताई निदिसि एत्थ होइ अहिगारो। चरणकरणाणुयोगेण तस्स दारा इमे होन्ति ॥ ४॥" In the Cunni (p. 2) on this Nijjutti, we have:
“ सो य चउन्विहो, तं जहा-चरणकरणाणुयोगो, धम्माणुयोगो, गणियाणुयोगो, दव्वाणुओगो," 2 Cf. "UNTOUTTA alfoni, THUHET glaufATTE 57759yufa, fool(?)gatit
Arqooft viataqoof vanife, fra T TH fafcati”--Dasaveyiliyacunni (p. 2) 3 For this we have in Prākrta Thammikahūnuoga anil dhammānuoga. 4 See fn. 1. 5 In Prākṣta we have for this, davvūnuoga and daviyánuoga, too. 6 This is what we learn from the following verse of Süyagadanijjutti:
"मूयगडं अङ्गाणं बिइयं तस्स य इमाणि। सूतगडं सुत्तकडं मूयगडं चेव गोण्णाई ।।२॥"
