THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS [CHAP factors whereby the 3rd and the 4th Culās cannot be looked upon as brought by Jyesthā from Lord Simandhara, though, so suggested in Parisistaparvan (IX, v. 97–100 ).
(i) Jyeșthā is a contemporary of Bhadrábāhusvāmin according to the Parisistaparvan, and this very Bhadrabāhusvāmin informs us in his Āyõranijjutti (v. 290) that Bhāvanā, the 3rd Cālā is extracted from Satthaparinnā, and Vimutti, the 4th Cūlā, from Dhuya.
(ii) The last verse of Dasaveyāliyanijjutti, too, confirms this opinion; for, it speaks of only two Cūlās and not four, and they are supposed to be identical with the ones occurring at the end of Dasaveyālāya.'
(ii) As already noted on p. 45, Haribhadra Sūri mentions a tradition dealing with one Calā only.
All these factors go against Parisistaparvain. But then there arises a question as to on what basis Hemacandra Sūri gave the episode in Parisistaparvan. Was it a tradition that he narrated or had he any specific work to rely upon ? Leaving this question for future investigation, I may note the following points:
tuzt a t tri ure. I parfori fari fori gfeti at 11 उयरिंच पास मतिं (? मयं च मृणियं च गिलासिणं । वेवयं पीढ-सपि च सिलिवई मह-मेहिण ।। सोलस एए. रोगा अक्खाया अणुपुव्वसो। अह णं फुसन्ति आयंका फासा य असमञ्जसा ॥" These 16 diseases may be translated as below:
Boils (? scrofula), leprosy, consumption, epilepsy, blindness, stiffness, lameness, hump-backedness, dropsy, dumbness, apoplexy (?), morbid appetite from overdigestion, tremour, crippledness, elephantiasis and diabetes.
It may be noted that these have very little in common with the 16 diseases mentioned in Vivāgasuya (1) as under:
"सासे कासे जरे दाहे कुच्छिसूले भगन्दरे ।
अरिसा अजीरए दिट्रीमुद्धसूले अकारए।
अच्छिवेयणा कण्णवेयणा कण्डू उयरे कोडे ।' 1 "आओ दो चूलाओ आणीआ जक्खिणीए अज्जाए। सीमंधरपासाओ भवियाण विबोहणट्टाए ॥ ४४७ ॥"
This verse is looked upon by some as spurious. But it should not be forgotten that in Dasaveyaliyanijjutti, there is a reference to two Cūlās. The pertinent verse is as under:
"दो अज्झयणा चुलिय विसीययंते थिरीकरणमेगं। बिइए विवित्तचरिया असीयणगुणाइरेगफला ॥२४॥"
