CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE AGAMAS
and Dasakāliya; Caisarana, 2: Caüsarana and Kusalānubandhiajjhayana; Maranavihi, 2: Maranavihi and Maranasamāhi; and Jonipähuda, 2: Jonipāhua and Jonivihāna.
So far as the Samskặta titles of the anga-bāhira works are concerned, the 2nd wanga has 3 titles viz. Rajapraśniya, Rajaprasenakiya and Rūjaprasenajit (vide p. 33, fq. 2). Same is the case with Tandulacuicurika. For, besides this title it has two more: Tanıdulavicărnina and Tandulavaitālika (vide p. 50, fn. 1 and p. 51).
As noted on p. 2, some of the scriptures have their titles in plural. So they can be divided into two classes: (i) those having their titles in plural and (ii) those having them in singular. sngas 6 to 11, Crucigas 8 to 12, Uttarajjhayana, Dasă and Isibhūsiya belong to the former class whereas the rest to the latter class.
It may be mentioned in passing that Pajjosaņākappo has a popular title viz. Kalpustītra, and Kappa, Brhathul pasūtru.
Another stand-point which can be utilized for the classification of the Agumas is to note as to which of them have a common ending. On this basis we can form groups of Āgamas which end in (i) dusi, (ii) rarūya, (iii) suya, (iv) ajjhayaņa, (v) bhāvanā, (vi) pannutti, (vii) ribhatti, (viii) cūliyā, (ix) nijjutti, (x) visohi, (xi) thayu, (xii) vijjā, (xiii) vihi, (xiv) veyāliya, (xv) paccakkhāna and (xvi) puriyāvuniy. The detailed list of all these 16 groups having corresponding endings may be given as under:
I digas 6 to 11, Vaņihadasā, Āyāradasă, Bundhadasă, Do.
giddhidasā, Dīhadasā' and 2 Sankhevitadasī.3 1 This has 10 ajjhayaņas some of which agree in name with those of Nirayava
lisuyakkhandha-Narakāvalikäśrutaskandha as suggested by Abhayadeva
Sūri in his com. (pp. 512a-513a) on Thāna (X; s. 755). : As stated in Thaņa (X; s. 755) it has the following 10 ajjhayaņas:-- "खुडिया विमाणपविभत्ती १ महलिया विमाणपविभत्ती २ अंगचूलिया ३ वग्गचूलिया ४ विवाह
चूलिया ५ अरुणोववाते ६ वरुणोववाए ७ गरुलोरवाते ८ वेलंधरोववाते ९ वेसमणोववाते १०” 3 Cf. the following sūtra of Țhäņa ( X):
" दस दसाओ पं० तं० कम्मविवागदसाओ उवासगदसाओ अंतगडदसाओ अणुत्तरोववायदसाओ आयारदसाओ पण्हावागरणदसाओ बंधदसाओ दोगिद्विदसाओ दीहदसामओ संखेवितदसाओ।" (सृ. ७५५) The 1st suyakkhandha of Vivāgasuya is known as Kammavivāgadasă,
