वंदामि अज्जनागं च गोयमं च जेहिलं च वासिटुं। विण्हुं माढरगोत्तं, कालगमवि गोयमं वंदे ॥३॥ गोयमगोत्तकुमारं, सप्पलयं तह य भद्दयं वंदे। थेरं च अज्जवई, गोयमगत्तं नमसामि ॥४॥ तं वंदिऊण सिरसा थिरचित्तचरितनाणसंपन्न । थेरं च संघवालिय कासवगोतं पणिवयामि ।।५।। वंदामि अज्जहत्थि च कासवं वंतिसागरं धीरं। गिहाण पढममासे, कालगयं चेव सुद्धस्स ॥६॥ वंदामि अज्जधम्मं च सुव्वयं सीललद्धिसंपन्न । जस्स निक्खमणे देवो छत्तं वरमुत्तमं वहइ ।।७।। हत्थं कासवगोतं धम्म सिवसाहगं पडिवयामि । सीह कासवगोत्तं धम्म पिय कासवं वंदे ।।८।। सुत्तत्थ रयणभरिए, खमदमभद्दवगुणेहिं संपन्ने।
देवडिखमासमणे कासवगोत्ते पणिवयामि ॥९।।* It is of course obvious that these gathās are added sometime after the second Valabhi council that met under the leadership of Devarddhi gani ksamāśramana. Possibly, the gathās refer in brief to the lineage to which belonged Devarddhi gani
ksamaśramana. 25. अहवादव्वायरिओ तिविहो-एगभविओबद्धाउओ अभिमुहणामगोत्तो, xxणिबद्धाउओ उजेण आउयं बद्धं,

जथासंखं आदेसो --- AVCH.I.p.585. 26. The Nandisutra edited by Muni Punyavijaya reads Ajjānandila and not Ajja Nandila
in the Nandi sthavirävali. The correct name probably was Arya Anandila, since the editors of the critical edition by Muni Punyavijaya, Dalshukh Malvania, and Amritlala Bhojak, give only one v.1.,3oonifact and do not read Ajja Nandila from any ms. referred to by them. One does not know when the name Arya Nandila came in currency. (could the Arya Nandi of the Dhavala-tīkä be Ārya Nandila or
Arya Anandita? --Editors) 27. See Hiralal Jain, the Satkhandägama Vol. I, "Intro.," pp. 49-50, the Dhavala,
अ०१४४०; theJayadhavalā, अ० १२३९; theDhavalā, अ० १४२९, १४५८; the Jayadhavala, अ०९७३. Also Hindi "Intro.," to Sarkhandāgama, Vol.II.p. 36.
