THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
[ CĦAP.
Ohanijjuttibhāsa and Pinďanijjuttibhāsa are each anonymous, and some of the verses of each of them have got mixed up with Ohanijjutti' and Piņdanijjutti respectively.
It may be noted that it will be committing oneself to say that any and every Bhāsa is older than one and all the Cunnis, though it is true that that Bhāsa on which we have a Cunni, is certainly anterior to that Cunni. Visesão is posterior to some of the Cunnis. Vuddhabhāsa of Kappa is preceded by its Cunni and Visehacunni, and same is the case with Jiyakappabhāsa. Cunni is as a rule anterior to its corresponding Visehacunni, and it seems that in order that the latter may be distinguished from the former, the word viseha is added to it.
Just as Bhāsa is designated as Gāhā so Cunni seems to be styled as Paribhāsa, too. Cunnis seem to have been written on at least the following 20 Agamas:
(1) Ayāra?, (2) Sūyagada“, (3) Viāhapannattis (4) Jīvābhigama, (5) Jambuddīvapannatti, (6) Nisība, (7) Mahānisīha, (8) Vavahāra, (9) Dasāsuyakkhandha, (10) Kappa, (11) Pañcakappa, (12) Ohanijjutti, (13) Pañcamangalasuyakkhandha, (14) Jiyakappa, (15) Uttarajjhayana", (16) Avassaya', (17) Dasaveyaliya', (18) Nandīro, (19) Aņuogaddāra" and (20) Pakkhiyasutta.
There were two Cunnis for (6) and (14); but, now-a-days only one is available in each case. The available one for (6) is 1-2 See the printed editions of these works. 3-4 The Cunnis of these Agamas are in press. 5 Its Cunni will be printed hereafter. Its press-copy is being revised by
Anandasāgara Sūri. He says that the Cunnis on Nandi, Anuogaddāra, Avassaya, Dasaveyaliya, Uttarăjjhayana, Ayāra, Süyagada and Viāhapan. natti are in their order of composition. Vide his article "41fa 2413181 242 adj ya” published in Siddhacakra (vol. IX, No. 8, p. 165). It is doubtful if there is really a Cunni on this work. One noted by me in D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt. I, pp. 233-236) is not any com.; but it is a treatise dealing with calculations pertaining to the Jambūdvipa. This is what Prof. Schubring says. See my Preface (p. xxv ) of D. C. J. M.
(vol. XVII, Pt. III). 7-11 The Cunnis of these Agamas are published from Rutlam.
