A HISTORY OF THE CANONICAL LITERATURE OF THE JAINAS
JĪVĀJĪVĀBHIGAMA This Uvanga is divided into 9 sections known as pratipattis. It deals with the fundamental principles of Jainism, and thus furnishes us with details about the animate and inanimate objects. The 3rd pratipattio contains the description of continents and oceans, and it is looked upon by Prof. Winternitz as an interpolation (vide A His. of Ind. Lit. vol. II, p. 456). The entire treatment in this Uvanga is in the form of questions and answers, as is the case with the 4th Uvanga.
PAŅŅAVAŅĀS This Uvanga is a master-piece of Jaina philosophy. It is divided into 36 sections, each known as paya. Each of these payas deals with one particular topic in all its aspects and may be hence looked upon as a thesis on the subject concerned, in an epitomized form. These 36 payas are named in Prākrta in v. 4-7. Malayagiri Sūri in his com. (p. 66) on this work mentions their names in Saṁskrta. They are (1) Prajñāpanā, (2) Sthāna, (3) Bahuvaktavya, (4) Sthiti, (5) Višesa, (6) Vyutkrānti, (7) Ucchvāsa, (8) Sanjña, (9) Yoni, (10) Carama, (11) Bhāṣā, (12) Śarira, (13) Pariņāma, (14) Kasāya, (15) Indriya, (16) Prayoga, (17) Leśyā, (18) Kāyasthiti, (19) Samyaktva, (20) Antakriyā, (21) Avagāhanāsthāna, (22) Kriyā, (23) Karma, (24) Karmabandha,
1. This is styled as ajjhayana in its sutta I. 2. In A His. of Ind. Lit. (vol. II, p. 456) the number of sections has been given as 20. This
gives rise to a sei of questions. Is this a slip or is it owing to some other method of
counting? And, if latter, what is that method ? 3. This name occurs in Malayagiri Sūri's com. on this 3rd Uvanga. Further more,
therefrom we learn the specific names of one and all the pratipattis. They are Dvividhā,
Trividhä etc. up to Daśavidhā. 4. This is the biggest section out of 10. 5. This is styled as ajjhayana in v. 3, and it is referred to in Jīvājivābhigama (s. 106). 6. Cf. "4310U 314 geared 3. fas 8 fatal 4 41
