GENESIS OF THE JAINA SCRIPTURES
assume that this Anuga deals more or less with the biographies of the Tirthaikaras, the Kulakaras" (patriarchs), the Ganadharas and several other persons who attained liberation or were born in the Anuttara vimānas during the period that began with the life of Lord Rşabha and ended with the birth of Jitaśatru, father of Lord Ajita. In short, Aņuoga is dharmakathānuyoga which consists of kathās having mostly for their central figures, persons who attained liberation or who were about to attain liberation in the next birth or so. Relying on this view, one may try to explain as under, the difference in the orders of the 3rd and 4th sections of Ditthirāya:
A student of Jainism knows it full well that there are four anuyogas3 viz. (1) dharmakathānuyoga, (2) ganitānuyoga, (3) dravyānuyoga and (4) caraṇakaraṇānuyoga permeatinga the entire sphere
एगुत्तरा दुलक्खा सबट्ठाणे य जाव पण्णासा। एक्केकुत्तरठाणे पुरिसजुगा होंतिऽसंखेज्जा ।५।। विपरीयं सबढे चोद्दस लक्खा य निव्वुओ एगो। सच्चेव य परिवाडी पण्णासा जाब सिद्धीए ॥ ६ ॥ तेण परं लक्खादि दो दो ठाणा य समग वच्चंति । सिवगतिसबढेहिं इणमो तासिं विधी होइ ॥७॥ दो लक्खा सिद्धीए दो लक्खा णरवदीण सम्बटे । एवं तिलक्खचउ पंच जाव लक्खा असंखेज्जा ।। ८ ।। सिवगतसव्वद्वेर्हि चित्तंतरगडिता ततो चउरो। एगा एगुत्तरिया एगादि बितिउत्तरा तइया ॥९॥ ततिएगादि तिओत्तर निगमादि ओत्तरा चउत्थे य । पढमाए सिद्धको दोण्णि य सव्वदृसिद्धमि ।।१०।। तत्तो तिणि णरिंदा सिद्धा चत्तारि होति सबढे । इय जाव असंखेज्जा सिवगतिसबटु सिद्धेहिं ।। ११ ।। ताए बिउत्तराए सिद्धक्को तिण्णि होंति सव्वटे । एवं पंच य सत्त य जाव असंखेज्ज दो तिन्नि ।। १२ ।। एग चउ सत्त दसगं जाव असंखेज्ज होंति दोतिण्णि। सिवगतिसम्बट्रेहिं तिउत्तरा एत्थ णेयव्वा ।। १३ । ताहे तियगादिबिउत्तराए अऊणतीस तु तियग ठावेउं । पढमे उ णस्थि खेवो सेसेसु इमे भवे खेवा ।। १४॥"
__In all, there are 32 verses; but I have here given only 11. 1 For the lives of 7 Kulakaras the reailer should refer to Samoviya (s. 157),
Paumacariya (III, 50-58) and Trisasti (I, 2, 137-206). 2 This is, of course, a rough rendering. 3 Cf. the following lines occurring in Silānka Sūri's com. (p. 1b ) on A yūra:
"अतःप्रारभ्यतेऽर्हद्वचनानुयोगः, स च चतुर्धा, तद् यथा-धर्मकथानुयोगो गणितानुयोगो द्रव्यानुयोगश्चरणकरणानुयोगश्चेति, तत्र धर्मकथानुयोग उत्तराध्ययनादिकः, गणितानुयोगः मूर्यप्रज्ञप्त्यादिकः, द्रव्यानुयोगः पूर्वाणि सम्मत्यादिकश्च, चरणकरणानुयोगश्च आचारादिकः, स च प्रधानतमः, शेषाणां तदर्थत्वात्"
For further references and some details about 4 anyogas, see Malallārin Hemacandra Suri's com. (pp. 931-932) on Viseshvassayabhasa (v. 2295), śānticandra Upādhyāya's Prameyaratnamañjuşi, a com. (pp. 2a-2b) on
Jambuildivapannatti, etc. 4 Avassayanijjutti (v. 227), Avassayabhasa ( v. 774 ) and Visesävassa yabhāsa
(v. 2288) bear testimony. All these three verses are identical, and the first of them is reproduced in the latter two works ad verbatim ag under:
