The treatment is on the same lines as in No. 1 above.
It should be mentioned that the two texts under No. 1 above form a class by themselves in the Sacred Literature of the Svetambaras, but considered extra-canonical. Both are indexes to contents of the canonical texts; the first occupies itself with a discussion of the kinds of knowledge and the second with the explanation of methods of interpretation of the scriptures. (See p. 53 of this Journal, July 1972, where these 2 texts were further described.) Nos. 2-3 above is regarded as the 4th of the 12 Upānga Texts of the Canon, its subject matter being an elaborate classification of multiple kinds of animate beings dwelling in heaven, on earth and in the nether worlds. All the volumes are well-edited and printed.
