DECEMBER, 1889.] SACRED LITERATURE OF THE JAINS.
omission of jha-da-tri (?)-um(?)-la (?) 130 These statements are of the most remarkable character. The number of 46 aksharas, whether written signs or sounds (which can have reference to Sanskrit alone and not to Prákrit, since ksh is included in the list), I am as yet entirely unable to explain31 § 57 tinham ganipidaganam áyárachúliyavajjánam sattávannam ajjhayaná pai (natta) áyáré 24, súyagadé 23, tháné [282] 10; here the first 3 angas are taken together as a unit and called 'the three ganipiḍagas' par excellence. It is here worthy of note that only 24 ajjh. are ascribed to the áyára after the separation of the áyárachiliya, and in fact (p. 254) only the nisthajjhayanam, which in § 25 is called the 25th ajjh., can be meant by úyárachuliya;-in § 59 fifty-nine day-nights (rátindiya) are allotted to each season of the lunar year; § 61 panchasainvachchharassa nam jugassa ridumáséṇash miyyamáṇassa égasaṭṭhi udumásá paṁ(náttá); see on this Jyotisha v. 31 (my treatise, p. 93);-§ 62 the quinquennial yugam has 62 full moons, 62 new moons; § 67 67 nakkhattamásá; according to § 71, the winter of the fourth lunar year (in the yuga) has 71 vuxenpepa-chaütthassa nash chanhdasamvachchharassa hémantá nam ékasattarié ratimdiyehim vitikkamte him;-in § 72 enumeration of the 72 kalas which are essentially identical with those which recur in aiga 6, 1, 119, upanga 1, 107 and elsewhere; 33 the repeated use of the word lakkhana probably forms a literary synchronism with the Mahábháshya and the Atharvaparisishtas. See Ind. Stud. 13, 460 Burnell, Tanjore Catalogue, p. 9 fg.; the names are:

30 Among the Brahmans too there is found an enumeration of the alphabet in order to form a diagram. Cf. my treatise on the Rama TAp. Up. I. 62, p. 309. This enumeration contains 51 okshoras (16 vowels, 35 consonants), which, after deducting 5 aksharas, shows the 46 máuyakkhará ascribed in onga 4, 40 to the bathbht livt. In reference to their use see page 462. It is however doubtful whether the use of the latter (on page 462) represents an example of the mauyakkhara.
