________________ An udde'saka title is usually taken from the topic (often a proper name of the beginning sutra in each uddesaka obviously for mnemonic purposes. This uniform entry of the udde'saka-titles at the head of each sataka can be made only at the final redaction of the Bhagavati. Likewise, the opening passages of 1.1 which are composed in a stereotyped fashion full of rhetorical art like that of the Aupapatika, and which function as the prologue not only to 1.1 but also to the Bhagavati itself, must have been composed at the Third Canonical Council at Valabhi. Five namaskara mantras along with the salutation to lipi and sruta offered at the beginning of Sataka I are undoubtedly the products of the Third Canonical Council. The mangala attached to Satakas XV and XVI which read 'namo suya devayae bhagavaie', must likewise belong to the final canonical stage, when ritualism and ceremonial formalism came to penetrate every aspect of the religious activities of the Jainas.
