## **The Six-Part Canon**
Here, for the benefit of the readers, we are presenting a passage that highlights the similarities between the two texts.
**Jivasamas** - **Asanni amanapanchindayant sanni u saman chhaumatta. No sanni no asanni kevalnaani u vinnea. || 81 ||**
**Jivasthanasanianuvadena aththi sanni asanni || 172 || Sanni micchaitthippahudi jav khain kasayaviyaraychadumatta tti || 173 || Asanni eindayappahudi jav asannipanchindaya tti || 174 ||**
Readers will themselves experience the similarity of these two passages and the subtlety of the Jivasamas' style of narration, as well as the special characteristic of the instruction of the Kevalis, "Neither Sanni nor Asanni."
- While describing the second form of numerical representation or the following of the substance-proof, the Jivasamas has explained the four divisions of the first proof, namely substance, field, time, and emotion. Subsequently, in the substance-proof, the divisions of Man, Unmana, etc. have been explained, in the field-proof, the divisions of Angul (Hasta), Dhanush, etc., in the time-proof, the divisions of Samaya, Avli, Ucchvas, etc., and in the emotion-proof, the divisions of direct and indirect knowledge. Among these, the field and time-proofs have been described in great detail, in 14 and 35 verses respectively. This has been written in its place by the Dhavalakar. The verses describing these four types of proofs are found in the texts of the Digambar and Svetambar sects, either exactly as they are or with slight variations in words, which proves that they have been passed down through the Acharya-Parampara. The description of these four types of proofs was common knowledge in front of the Shatkhandagamkar, therefore, he did not consider it appropriate to include it in his work.
After this, the number of Mithyadristi, etc. beings has been explained, which is exactly the same in both the texts. Here is a passage for the information of the readers:
**Jivasamas - Gathamiccha davyamantan kalenossappini anantao. Khettena bhijjamana havanti loga ananta o || 144 ||**
**Shatkhandagam - Sutra _Oghena micchaitthi davvapamane na kevadiya? Ananta || 2 || Anantanantahi ossappiniussappinihi na avahiranti kalena || 3 || Khettena anantananta loga || 4 ||**
(Shatkhandagam, p. 54-55)
