SUBDIVISIONS
JĪVĀBHIGAMA: Malayagiri's subdivision (DLJP No.50) is identical with that of the Suttagame edition. Note that in "padivatti" 3 the numbering of the uddeŝas (1-3, 1-2, 1-2) is not continuous. The paḍivatti numbering itself starts afresh after padivatti 9 (sutra 243). The second block (sutras 244-272) is possibly a later addition.
PRAJNAPANA: Through numbering in Suttagame and Jaina-Agama-Series editions. 714 sūtras in the former, 2176 in the latter.
DASAVAIKĀLIKA:
There are slight differences (of various types) between Suttagame - Tīkā - LEUMANN/SCHUBRING. The relevant details are, however, not required in the present context. Apart from very minor points which have no bearing on the problem of subdivision and numbering, SCHUBRING's edition (1932) is identical with LEUMANN's (1892).
UTTARADHYAYANA:
Minor deviations in JACOBI's translation (SBE 45, 1895), which recur in identical form in CHARPENTIER's edition (1922). See the tables above.
NANDI: The Jaina Agama Series edition has 120 sutras against 59 sutras in the Suttagame edition. The Tika has also 59 sutras.
ANUYOGADVĀRA: 140 sūtras in Haribhadra's Tikā, 156 in Hemacandra Maladharin's Tikā, 153 in the Suttagame edition, 606 in the Jaina-Agama-Series.

KALPASŪTRA: The first section is traditionally regarded as a unit, but a general title is missing (the title "Jinacarita" was coined by Jacobi). Ṭīkā (e.g. Dharmasāgara ganin), Suttagame, and JACOBI (SBE 22, 1884) agree in their subdivision of "Jinacarita" and Sāmāyārī, but there is little agreement with respect to the Ganaharaitheravali.
