________________ THE EXTANT AGAMAS OF THE JAINAS 133 one of the 1st 11 Angas wherein the word kāliya would have occurred in virtue of these Angas being called kāliyāsuya, a fact noted on p. 26. Prof. Schubring has made an ingenious suggestion in his introduction (pp. iv-v) of The Dasaveyaliya Sutta as under: "afea is the Prakrit substitute for more than one Sanskrit word.” In the fn to this he says: "Besides analfasata 'connected with the evening time' it may be वैचारिक, वैतारिक and वैतालिष्कर. In the canonical Jaina work तन्दुलवेयालिय it is the first of these three words." . Dasaveyāliya is divided into 10 ajjhayanas. Out of them the 5th has two sub-divisions known as uddesas and the 9th 4 whereas the rest have none. Ajjhayanas I-III, V-VIII and X are entirely in verse, Ajjhayaņa IV“ begins with a number of passages in prose and ajjhayana IX has some portions in prose intersepted by verses. The titles of one and all these ajjhayanas are significant. They are: (1) Dumapupphiyā, (2) Sāmannapuvvaga, (3) Khuddiyāyārakahā, (4) Chajjīvaniyā', (5) Pindesaņā?, (6) Dhammatthakāma', (7) Vakkasuddhi', (8) Ayārappanihi, (9) Viņayasamāhi and (10) Sabhikkhu. These titles can be respectively translated as (1) (a parable) pertaining to flowers of a tree, (2) (the chapter) commencing with monkhood, (3) a brief exposition of conduct, (4) six groups of living beings, (5) search for food, (6) exposition of dharma, (7) purity of speech, (8) restriction to conduct, (9) devotion to discipline and (10) he is a saint. These 1 They are: alfa, aafia, garasi, afany and foart. 2 I think this is a slip, if it is not a misprint. It should be a feat. 3 These have 5, 11, 15, 100+50, 69, 57, 64 and 21 verses respectively. 4 This ajjhayana has 29 verses. 5 The 1st 3 uddesas of IX has 17, 23 and 15 verses whereas the 4th 7. 6 This is named as Dhammapannatti in this very cbapter and in Dasarea yaliyanijjutti (v. 16) as well. 7 Cf. the 1st aijhayana of Ayāra (II). 8 This is also called Mahāyārakahā. 9 See the 4th ajjhayana of Ayāra (II).
