Comm. on upanga 6 in 7 verses, the first two of which are found in Abhayadeva on anga 3 :

This enumeration is exceedingly noteworthy, from the fact, that of the texts which now belong to the Siddhānta, only nine are mentioned (six angas and three chedasūtras), whereas the other eight names to which referance will be made later on when we examine the Nandi, are at present not found therein. The question [225] arises ; are we justified in placing the composition of these verses 82 at a period in which the remaining portions of the present Siddhānta were as yet not embraced therein, their place being occupied by the eight lost texts, which are mentioned in the enumeration ? In any case the enumeration cannot be otherwise than ancient, since at the date when it was composed, the dițțhivāa manifestly still existed, and in fact as the highest in the order of gradation.
If we now return to a consideration of the 60 anangapavittha texts
30 anga masculine or 'ete' neuter; see ime' ajjhayana in v. 3. 31 teyanisagga is, according to another passage of the Vidhiprapa, another name of
the Gośāla book in the Bhagavati, the latter in its turn being dasavāsassa. 32 Sãoticandra maintains a different view, viz.-that since in v. 3 anga 5 is ascribed
to daśavarsaparyāyasya sadhuh therefore eo ipso anga 6, and the connected upanga 6, took, their places accordingly. But how is the case with anga 7 etc ?
