________________
180 THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
[CHAP. Uttarajihayananijjutti-This comprises about 600 verses. In v. 91' there is mention of Bhaddabāhu, in v. 97 that of Ajjarakkhiya and in v, 1042 that of Thūlabhadda with the honorific bhayavam. These are no doubt instances of anachronism; but they can be justified in the light of the remarks made on p. 173.
This Nijjutti deals with nikkevas of several words3 and gives synonyms, too. It mentions suvannabhūmi in v. 120 and Vāsavadattā and Udayaņa in v. 148. Verses 165-178 supply us with information about 7 Nihnavas and v. 38 to 41 deal with various shapes and sizes -a mathematical topic. Verse 153 mentions 8 limbs of the body, and so does v. 189, whereas v. 190 mentions sublimbs (upāngas ). Verses 198–200 deal with karanas-an astrological item, and v. 212-235 treat the subject of 17 kinds of death etc. Verses 146-148 mention the ingredients of the best scentperfume and v. 151 those of an excellent wine. Verse 149 deals with the preparation of a pill, and v. 150 informs us about the diseases that can be cured by it. Verses 124, 126-128 and 130-134 have the same last foot viz. "F1 avotsit 273." From Vāli. vetāla sānti Sūri's com. (p. 141a) on v. 142 it follows that Dasaveyāliyanijjutti is prior to this Nijjutti.
Āyāranijjutti—This metrical composition contains about 350 verses. It extends up to the 4th Culū of Ayāra. It, too, supplies us with nikkevas of various words. Verses 18-27 deal with 7 vannas (castes) and 9 vannantaras etc., and v. 43–59 discuss 10 directions. Various living beings along with their varieties 1-2 These are the Nos. according to D. L. J. P.
