________________ 30 THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS [CHAP. From this we get the names of the 12 Uraigas. They are also suggested in the following verse (p. 349) of this very work:.."उ० रा. जी. पनवणा सू० जं० चं० नि० क० क० पु० पु० वह्रिदसनामा। आयाराइउवंगा नायव्वा आणुपुबीए ॥"I Viyārasāra (also called Viyāralesa) of Pradyumna Sūri, too, furnishes us with the Prākrta names of the 12 Uvangas. The pertinent verses are as under: "ओवइ रायपसेणीय जीवाभिगमो तहेव पन्नवणा । चंदस्स य सूरस्स य जंबुद्दीवस्स पन्नत्ती ॥ ३४७ ॥ निरयावलिया कप्पिय पुफिय तह पुप्फचूलिओवंगं । पण्हिदसा दीवसागरपन्नत्ती मयविसेसेण ॥ ३४८॥" From this we learn that at least in the time of this Pradyumna Sūri who flourished in the 14th century of the Vikrama era, a difference of opinion had arisen as to which work was to be considered as the 12th Uvanga. Further, in this connection it may be added that Pradyumna Sūri differs from Śricandra Sūri and Jinaprabha Sūri as well; for, he mentions Candapannatti as the 5th Uvanga, whereas the other two Sūris mention Sūrapannatti as the 5th Uvanga, and similar is the case with the 6th and the 7th Uvangas. Yaśodeva Sūri, strikes altogether a different note; for, 1 - "आयारे ओववाइयं १ मुयगडे रायपसेणियं २ ठाणे जीवाभिगमो ३ समवाए पन्नवणा ४ एए उक्कालिया भगवईए सूरपन्नत्ती ५ नायाधम्मकहाणं जंबुद्दीवपन्नत्ती ६ उवासगदसाणं चंदपन्नत्ती ७ एए कालिया सब्वे वि अ उद्देससमुद्देसअणुनत्थं आयंबिलतिगेण वचंति । अन्नेसिं पुण पन्नवणवज्ज तज्जोगमज्झे आयंबिलतिगपूरणेण तिन्नि वि वच्चन्ति। अंतगडदसाइयाण पंचन्हमंगाणं निरयावलिसुयकखंध उवगं, तंमि पंच वग्गा १कप्पिआओ, २ कप्पवडिसयाओ ३ पुरिफाओ, ४ पुष्फचुलियाओ एएसु दस दस अज्झयणा वन्हिदसासु बारस एवं दिण ५ सुअखंधे दिण २ सव्वे वि दिण ७।" Practically this very verse with a slight difference is found in Vidhiprapā of Jinaprabha Sūri. None of these verses, however, gives us the complete titles of all the 12 Uvangas. At best we know therefrom only two titles viz. Pannavaņā and Vanhidasă in full, and the rest are indicated by their initial letters. Jinaprabha Sūri's Siddhāntāgamastava (v. 21-31) supplies us with the Samskxta names of these 12 Uvaigas as under: (1) Upapātika, (2) Rājapraśniya, (3) Jivabhigamădhyayana, (4) Pra jñāpanā, (5) Jambūdvibaprajñapti, (6) Candraprajñapti, (7) Sürya. prajnapti, (8) Nirayavalika, (9) Kalpavatamsika, (10) Puspika, (11) Puspacilika and (12) Vrsnidasa.
