THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS (CHAP. a way continue the subject-matter of the 3rd Anga; for, suttas 1 to 135 enumerate different entities in rising numerical groups (samavāyas) of 1 to 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450; 500, 600, etc. up to 1100; 2000, 3000 etc. up to 10,000; 1 lac, 2 lacs etc., up to 9 lacs; 9000, 10 lacs, 1 crore and i kotākoți of sāgaropamas. This is followed by the description of the 12 Angas, two rāsīst and their sub-divisions, two types of hellish beings etc., varieties of avadhijñāna etc., 6 types of samhanana, 6 sorts of samsthānd, 3 vedas, the 7 Kulakaras of the past utsarpinī, the names etc., of the 24 Tirthaikaras, 12 Cakravartins, 9 Vasudevas and 9 Baladevas of the present avascrpinā, names of the 24 Tirthankaras of the Airāvata zone and those of the Tīrthaikaras to flourish. In s. 157, Kappa is referred to.
VIĀHAPANNATTIS This is the 5th Anga having 5 titles as noted on pp. 53–54. It is divided into 41 sections known as saäs, almost all of which
1 Under number 18, 18 kinds of the Brāhmi script are mentioned, and
under number 36, names of the 36 ajjhayaņas of Uttarajjhayana are given. This latter topic must have been incorporated in Samavāya after
its compilation, and same must be the case with the mention of Nandi therein. 2 As regards this incongruity Abhayadeva Sūri observes on p. 1069:
"इदं च सहस्रस्थानकमपि लक्षस्थानाधिकारे यदधीतं तत् सहस्रशब्दसाधाद् विचित्रत्वाद् वा मूत्रगते. लेखकदोषाद् वेति ।" 3 The data regarding the extents of these Angas do not tally with their
present extents. 4 They are: (i) jivarasi and (ii) ajivarāsi. 5 Ten different meanings of this title are noted by Abhayadera Sūri in his com.
(pp. 2-3) on this work. Therein he has suggested the following Samisksta equivalents of this title:
(1) neatgafa, (2) 164 , (3) fagreuath, (4) faareasurfa, (5) faaraqalà, (C) 14 aufà. This word is used in the beginning of the 2nd sac. In Samavāya (s. 81) we have: "fantaqaate veritat nerg=441 9777". Abhayadeva Sūri, while commenting upon this says on pp. 886 and 89:
"EITETTY HeritaHernarfa safa, 7 ' a'503764aryana, aifa waयुग्मादिलक्षणराशिविशेषविचाररूपाणि अत्रान्तराध्ययनस्वभावानि तदवगमावगम्यानीति ।"
