THE EXTANT AGAMAS OF THE JAINAS
the description of the rest and the various references pertaining to the extant āgamas, the reader may refer to D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pts. I-III).
ISIBHASIYA
This is a work of which the title is in plural. It is associated with dharmakathanuyoga. Bhadrabähusvamin had composed a Nijjutti on it; but, unfortunately it is not available now. He has mentioned this work, over and above Uttarajjhayana. But Silanka Sūri3 and Malayagiri Suri include this Uttarajjhayana under the head Isibhāsiya. Further, Siddhasena Gaņi too, seems to hold a similar view.5 I do not know if this difference of opinion is reconciled by any one. So I may tentatively suggest that all those works which are expounded by Rsis are classed as Isibhasiya by Silāka, Malayagiri and Siddhasena, and consequently Uttarajjhayana, too, is designated by them as Isibhāsiya. As already noted on p. 16, fn. 3, Yasodeva Suri opines that Isibhasiya consists of 45 ajjhayanas, and they are expositions of 45 Pratyekabuddhas. Out of them 20 belong to the tirtha of Lord Neminatha, 15 to that of Lord Pārśvanātha and 10 to that of Lord Mahavira.

5 In his com. (p. 90 ) on the Bhasya (p. 90) of Tattvārtha (I, 21 ) he has said: " यद् ऋषिभिर्भाषितानि प्रत्येकबुद्धादिभि: कापिलीयादीनि".

This is borne out by the Isibhāsiya published in A. D. 1927 by Rsabhadeva Keśarāmalaji Samsthā, Rutlam. On its p. 40 we have the Isibhāsiya - sangahani as under:
