It happens. As (1) - "Kadi kāo pagḍīo bandhadi, ti jaṁ padaṁ tassa vihāsā." [Present text, p. 259, sū. 2] (2) "Kevaḍikālatṭhidīehi kammehi sammattaṁ labbadi vā, ṇa labbadi vā ti vibhāsā." [Present text, p. 301, sū. 1].
Here, it is important to note that both the above quotations are based on the first sūtra of the first chūlikā of Jīvasthānakī. Considering the vocabulary and style of that sūtra, it is naturally imprinted on the heart that the sūtra was composed based on two gāthās. That sūtra is as follows:
"Kadi kāo payḍīo bandhadi, kevaḍikālatṭhidīehi kammehi sammattaṁ lambhadi vā ṇa labhadi vā kevacireṇa vā kāleṇa kadi bhāe vā karedi micchattaṁ, uvasāmaṇā vā khavaṇā vā kesu vā khettesu kassa vā mūle kevaḍiyaṁ vā daṁsaṇamohaṇīyaṁ kammaṁ khatassa cārittaṁ vā saṁpuṇṇaṁ-paḍivajantassa." [Present text, p. 259, sū. 1]
According to my understanding, the gāthās on which this sūtra is based should be something like this:
Kadi kāo payḍīo bandhadi kevaḍidvidīhi kammehi. Sammattaṁ labbadi vā ṇa labbadi vā [5 ṇādiyō jīvō] || 1 || Kevacireṇa vā kāleṇa kadi bhāe vā karedi micchattaṁ. Uvasāmaṇā vā khavaṇā kesu vā settesu kassa vā mūle || 2 ||
Here, it is important to note that except for the text within the brackets, all the words are from the above sūtra, from which the gāthās have been constructed.
In addition to the eight symbolic sūtra-gāthās mentioned above, 15 sūtra-gāthās are found in the Prakriti-Anuyogadwār, which describe the form of avadhi-jñāna. Most of them are found as they are, and some with minor word changes, in the Prakrit Pañcasangraha and Go. Jīvakāṇḍa. Similarly, the 9 sūtra-gāthās that come under the Bandhana Anuyogadwār are also found in the aforementioned texts. All these gāthās are found as they are, or with some word changes, in the Śvetāmbariy Āgama texts and Niyukti etc., which shows that these gāthās were being passed down through the Ācārya-paramparā even before the Śvetāmbariy-Digambariy differences arose.
