DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS again, most comprehensively, from Dharmasāgara in his Austrikamatotsūtrodghātanakulaka commented by himself (18 G.). By a change of the sign the last small text implicitly teaches us to know the standpoint of the Tapās. The various points of divergence scarcely concern anything but irrelevant matters of praxis. As being of some slightly greater importance we, therefore, but mention that women may not worship the Jina (itthijina-pūsya-nzsehana), that there is no fasting beyond the cauttha ($ 156), that laymen will not exercise padimā ($ 163), that the Cāmundā and other local deities may be worshipped, and that the ceremony of Mahāvīra's being put into another womb is to be celebrated as his sixth kallāņaga.
$35. Among Uddyotana's pupils we have Sarvadeva, the teacher of Padmadeva. With them as the 36th and 37th Sūri there begins the patt'avali of Ancala-GacchaS who, though under Padmadeva he was still called Sankheśvara-G., was soon after named Nānaka-G. and under Āryarakṣita (No. 47) Vidhipaksa-G. by which name he is still known to-day. The name of Ancala does not occur here at all. But Dharmasāgara does deal with the Ancala-G. as such' where he discusses the Ancaliya (Ancalika) or Pallaviya (Pallavika), once even Stanika (?). The reciprocal notes have one thing in common: that in the pastāvali it was an upādhyāya Vijayacandra, in the Gurvāvali a certain Narasimha, who was one-eyed, as a Sūri was given the name of Aryaraksita. The origin of the Vidhipaksa-G. is there said to be the year s. 11695, whereas here the Ancala-G. is said to date from s. 1213, So we have two completley different occurrences, and we certainly cannot charge the Āncalıka of to-day with
