THE EXTINCT ĀGAMAS OF THE JAINAS

following lines occurring in it :
"तत्थ ताव सुहम्मसामिणा जंबुनामस्स पढमाणुओगे तित्थयर-चक्कवट्ठि-दसारवंसपरूवणागयं परियं कहियं ति तस्सेव पभवो कहेयव्वो, तप्पभवस्स य पभवस्स त्ति ।"
Bambhadattacariya! is said to be extracted from Ditthivaya and hence perhaps from Padhamāņuoga.
Cūliyā - These Culiyās are also known as Culla-vatthus. Only the first four Puvvas have Cūliyās. Therein the 1st Puvva has 4 four Cūliyās, the 2nd 12, the 3rd 8, and the 4th 10. In all we have 34 Cūliyās. They are studied last.4
This finishes the exposition about the contents of Parikamma etc. So, as stated on p. 75, I shall now deal with the order in which the five sections of Ditthivāya, became mostly extinct. Up till now none seems to have tackled this problem. I am probably the 1st to have done so in 1939 in Tattvarasikacandrikā (pt. I, pp. 52-55) in Gujarāti. I do not know if any one has even criticized my views by this time. So, once more I express them? in this connection and request the veteran scholars to examine them and to give their verdict.
It appears that a work gets obliterated when its study ceases. If so, it means we should note how the 5 sections were being studied. It is well-nigh certain that the study of the 1st two sections preceded that of the rest. As
1. This episode is given by Haribhadra Sūri in his com. on Uvaesapaya (v. 357).
"Ela garce 378 # 4 eta bere for
371580 308 HATI Zf13 afer" —Nandi (s. 57) 3-4. "79 20131 fcycam , nary furado Hogaf afael yfcovifa a l...... orary fa
Eri I" - Nandicunni (p. 61) 5. As stated in Samavāya (s. 46), Ditthivāya has 46 Māuyāpayas. Each of the 14
varieties of Parikamma has only one Māuyāpaya (vide p. 77). So it follows that some other section or sections of Ditthivāya must have Māuyāpayas. Abhayadeva Sūri in his com. (p. 696) on Samavāya (s. 46) makes a tentative suggestion in this connection as under : ""दिट्ठिवायस्स' त्ति द्वादशाङ्गस्य 'माउयापय' ति सकलवाङ्मयस्य अकारादिमातृकापदानीव दृष्टिवादार्थप्रसवनिबन्धनत्वेन मातृकापदानि उत्पादविगमध्रौव्यलक्षणानि, तानि च सिद्धश्रेणि-मनुष्यश्रेण्यादिना विषयभेदेन कथमपि
भिद्यमानानि षट्चत्वारिंशद् भवन्तीति सम्भाव्यन्ते ।" 6. "afis yra fy" —Malayagiri Suri's com. (p.2386) on Nandi (s. 57). 7. These are rather somewhat revised ones. 8. For a tentative treatment of this topic see J.S.E. (pp. 235-237) 9. This assumption is based upon the fact that in all the reference about the 5
sections of Ditthivaya, know of, Parikamma is invariably assigned the 1st place and Sutta the second.
