Jñānasāgara, in his avacūri on Caityavandana-bhāşya, vs.30 by Devendra cites MNA III.$25 (detected by Ernst Leumann). (4) Other parallels, not so conspicuous as those registered above, are e.g. the Ācāravidhi, "chronologically near to the MNA" (Schubring, MNSt.A,p.55) and the still later Angacūliyā (ibid,p.54), and some more works which were then yet unpublished or unavailable to Schubring and other scholars. (5) In contrast, the MNA was denied any canonical authority by a number of schools which did not include it into their lists of the sacred texts (āgama). This point has been discussed by Schubring, MNSt.A, pp.99-101. Not only the dissident but also the orthodox doctors of the church must have found some of the views expressed in the MNA to be controversial, if not unacceptable or even heterodox.
