Further, in this section, v. 122–123 (i. e. v. 349–350 ) there is mention of a narrative of two sittins, one of them being Jiņņa-sitthi. This narration is given in the com. (pp. 58b-59a).

translation of Pancavatthuga. 4 The text along with Abhayadevi Sūri's com, called S'isyahita
is published by Jaina Dharma Prasāraka Sabha, Bhavnagar, in 1912 A.D. The bare text and the alphabetical index of its verses are pablished in 1928 and 1929 A. D, respectively. Further, both the text and its com. by Abhayadeva are also published by R. K.
