Publication of Sauraseni Āgama literature :
Ardhamāgadhi Canonical literature belongs to Svetāmbaras while the Sauraseni Canonical literature to Digambaras, who believe that the Canon as preached by Mahāvīra is no longer available as it was lost during the famine. But they have preserved in their early works, written by the ancient Ācāryas, detailed accounts of the structure and the contents of their Canon. According to such accounts, the Digambaras' Canonical literature is divided into two groups : Anga pravişta and Angabāhya81.
Out of these,82 Puşpadanta and Bhūtavali wrote fortunately a joint work named Şațkhanļāgama of which Puşpadanta wrote the earlier portion and Bhūtavals the latter. The Şaţkhaņdāgama is said to have been commented upon by Kundakundācārya (parikarma), Šāmakunda (paddhari), Tumbulūrācārya (cūdāmani), Samantabhadrachārya (tikā) and Vappadevaguru (vyākhyāprajñapti), Thesc commentaries are unfortunately not available at present. The most important commentary is Dhavalā by Virasena.
The Şaţkhandāgama which is divided into six chapters-Jivaţthāņa, Kuddābandh Band hasāmittavicaya, Vedanā, Vaggaņā and Mahābandha-is edited by Dr. Hiralal Jain and published by Seth Shitavaraya Laxmichand Jaina Sahityodd haraka Fund, Amaravati, 1939-1958 in sixteen volumes with comprehensive introduction and Hindi translation. The Mahābandha or Mahādhavala is commented upon by Virasena which is written in Prakrit mixed Sanskrit. It is published in seven volumes with Hindi translation by Bhartiya Jñānapitha, kashi (1947-1958).
Kasāyapāhuda or Pejjadosapāhuậa is written by Āchārya Gunadhara on the basis of the third Pejjadosapāhuda of the tenth Vastu of the fifth Jñānapravāda pūrva. Yativrsabha prepared a cūrņi containing six thousand Prakrit verses on which the Uccāranācārya wrote the twelve thousand Uccāraṇāsūtras that are not available. On the basis of original gāthāsūtras and Yativịşabha's cūrņisūtras, Virasena prepared a commentary named Jayadhavalā which was completed by Āchārya Jinasena. It is critically edited with all commentaries by Pt. Phulchandji, Mahendrakumarji, and Kailashchandji in twelve volumes.88 These works deal with the Kari
