________________ 138 Dalsukh Malvania = T. 430-446; T. 1216-46 have. many gathas common with Avn. 952-982 ; Avn, 1241-43 = T. 447-449; Also comp. these with Devendrastava 273-302. T. has following gatha जं अन्नाणी कम्म खवेइ बहयाहि वासकोडीहिं / तं नाणी तिहिं गुत्तो खवेइ उस्सासमेत्तेरणं / / 1213 // The same is found in Mahapratyakhyana-101. With slight variation Kundakunda's Pravacansara has : जं अन्नाणी कम्मं खवेइ भवसयसहस्सकोडीहिं / नं नाणी तिहिं गुत्तो खवेइ उस्सासमेत्तेण // 3.38 // and also Vimala's Paumacariya : जं अन्नाण तवस्सी खवेइ भवसयसहस्सकोडीहिं / कम्मं तं तिहि गुत्तो खवेइ नाणो मुहुत्तेणं // 102. 177 / / It also should be noted that सिज्झन्ति चरिय भट्ठा सण भट्ठा न सिज्झन्ति / / 16 / / this latter half is found in Ekatvanupreksa of Kundakunda and T. has सिज्झन्ति चरणहीणा न सिझन्ति // 1207 / / .... But note that in Bhaktaparijna 66 is. same as that of Kundakunda's Ekatva. 19.. with a difference that the former has singular number. Amongst these authors it is difficult to say who is influenced by whom. . T. Gathas 1226-1227 are from Uttaradhyyana 36. 56-57. These and other factors belp us in deciding the date of T. But since the dates of all the works utilised for comparision are not finally settled, we are not in a position to finalize the date of T. This much we can say that it was compiled before Vyavahara bhasya and we may for the time being agree with Shri Muni Kalyanvijayji that T. was completed in 5th. Century of Vikrama era,-vide his essay on Vira Nirvan Samvat p. 30. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
